Macrame Plant Hanger

Before we explore the art of macrame plant hanger, let's briefly look at the history. Some historians are of the view that this art can be traced to the early Fourteenth and Fifteenth Centuries when the craft was practiced in France and Italy. Again, some date it back to the Thirteenth Century when the Arabian weavers started knotting the extra fabric at the edges of loomed fabrics. These scholars authoritatively assert that the word ''Macrame’’ has Arabic origin which means ''Fringe''.

Macrame Plant Hanger is an art which entails tying knots using strings, cords, yarns, embroidery threads or similar materials to create decorative rope-like sections. Macrame hangers are made when three sections created from long-lasting strings are hung from a ring and tied in a knot at the bottom.

This unique craft is a perfect gift any time, any day. Your loved ones will always appreciate it as the ideal gift. You know we are going back to appreciating things made by hand. We can't afford to consign to the background a craft passed to us for our creative pleasure.
