2. How do I choose the correct macrame cord?
When selecting the right macrame cord, it is important to consider the desired pattern and necessary requirements.
Materials:
Macrame cords can be made of different materials and come in various types, such as rope, string, yarn, and thread.
– Natural fibers like cotton, linen, hemp, or jute are soft and pliable, making them easy to tie. Additionally, these materials are eco-friendly as most of them are biodegradable. They complement their natural aesthetic and are a great match for indoor plants. However, natural fibers are not water-resistant, so they can become moldy over time if exposed to excessive moisture.
– Synthetic materials like nylon and paracord are durable and water-resistant, making them perfect for outdoor plants. However, their rigidity makes them challenging to tie.
Rope Thickness:
The rope thickness you use to make a plant hanger can greatly affect its appearance. Thicker cords tend to give a more substantial look, while thinner cords give it a delicate appearance. Most of the macrame plant hanger patterns listed below use cords with a 4-6mm diameter.
Colors:
Depending on how you want to present plant decor in your area, you have a couple of options. You can opt for natural colors to create a calming and organic atmosphere. Alternatively, you can choose a bright and bold macrame rope that contrasts with the pot, creating a vibrant green corner.
