DIY Beaded Garland Hanging Planter

As I was taking down our Christmas decor my heart was just so sad about putting away all of the wooden beaded garland that I had hoarded! Its just so cute for year round use that I decided to whip up the SIMPLEST hanging planter you can even imagine! I’m heading to my sister’s tomorrow to shoot her nursery for the One Room Challenge and bringing this cute thing along!! It’s going to look so cute with the arch painted wall!

My plant obsession has reached maximum impact and I needed to start hanging them or we weren’t going to have a place to walk. Plants that look best in hanging planters are ones that vine and spill out. So impactful and beautiful!! You can check out my favorite low light plants with some hanging options here!

To make this easy hanging planter you’ll need:

• 2 Strands of Beaded Garland
• 1 Brass Floral Hoop
• 1 Planter that sits snug inside the hoop.

*If you dont have any wood bead garland hanging out, you can get the same look as mine with this bead pack from Amazon!

 

Step 1

Decide if your garland needs to be restrung with something stronger. Obviously all garland is not created equal and usually not designed to hold anything. If your garland string isnt super heavy duty, you can easily restring it with Masonry line or macrame cord. 

Step 2

Start by finding the center beads of your garland. Dont worry too much about the length of the cord inside, just find the center beads! Do this on both garlands.

Step 3

Twist the garlands together a few times at the center point.

Step 4

Count up the same number of beads on each of the 4 strands. I went up 12 beads from the center on each side.

Step 5

Twist the garland around your hoop twice at that point on each strand.

Step 6

Gather the ends of the garland and adjust the length of the loops at the end to hang on a hook. (I had a really long one that I knotted lower to make it hang straight.

Step 7

Put the planter in the hoop and enjoy!

My apologies in advance for the Christmas decor that will now have to be pulled out of storage to snag your garland!!

Next week is the reveal of the One Room Challenge Nursery, I CANNOT wait to show you guys how incredible it’s turned out!!
