A New Twist on a Classic ‘go-to’ Present

I don’t know about you, but when Mother’s day comes around, my thoughts automatically jump to a bouquet of flowers or a potted plant. A little bit unoriginal, but often Mothers are a tricky bunch to buy for. What to get the lady who has everything?

Spring is just around the corner and flowers or plants brighten anyone’s day, and we all need a bit of that at the moment! (Currently in Lockdown 3.0, hoping the end is in sight!) Plus, everyone is going houseplant mad at the moment! Possibly increased by the fact that most of us are staring at the same walls day in day out, a bit of greenery and colour is good for our mental health.

So at Team Woolly, we thought we would blog about our make your own DIY Plant Hanger Kit and Macramé Cotton Cords, as creating a plant hanger to go with aforementioned standard issue Mother’s Day potted plant would bring a new modern twist on a tried and tested classic whilst keeping your idle hands busy too!

Beginners Macrame Plant Hanger Kit – Complete with 5mm Cord and Instructions

Never tried Macramé before?

Not to worry, we have a kit for that! Our Macramé Plant Hanger Kit, has everything you need to create not one, not two but FOUR plant hangers; so you can make one for mum, or gran, or sis, or that amazingly strong mama friend that is at home with the kids and needs a little perking up? Or maybe one for your own home. Don’t forget yourself.

The kit includes a roll of our Organic Cotton 5mm 4 Ply Twisted Cord (you can choose from 11 colours), and full instructions with pictures. If you learn best from videos, it may also help to have a look at some on YouTube to get the basics in place and then there’ll be no stopping you. Macramé up a storm! You will be addicted!

Macramé MASTERS

If you are confident you can get to grips with it, then maybe go straight for the cord you’d like to try. Our cords are recycled cotton, which is a big plus for the environment too.
