Keeping those indoor plants in a "happy spot" for them to thrive can sometimes be a challenge. The use of macrame hangers gives you more natural choices to work with. My African Violets, for example, like to hang in a southern exposure window that has a blind for filtered sunlight. In my opinion, natural jute cord and hemp give the plant hangers the most attractive finish without taking any glory from my healthy, happy, and beautiful plants.

Macrame hangers have been updated some from the 1970's. Using hemp, glass beads, and a wider variety of colored, wooden beads are the primary contributions I have made to this change. A fashionable cord of choice in the 1980's was nylon rope. If anyone would like a hanger made from of this material or have any other special requests, just send me a note.

I also love creating stained glass projects and have discovered that macrame and stained glass make great neighbors. In fact, my glass beaded hangers were inspired by my stained glass sun catchers. If you also appreciate stained glass, keep checking macramenia.com for the announcement of my stained glass website coming in the very near future! I plan on offering macrame hanger-stained glass sets.
