Going Going Green - Macrame

Macrame is an environmentally friendly art. No electricity, chemicals or any harsh products are required. These days, many people are becoming more concerned about buying natural, safe products. If you are a plant lover who is interested in various options to display your plants, macrame is certainly a step in that direction and always has been. Macramenia has numerous hangers for all kinds of plants and pot sizes.

The process of macrame is also beneficial for the crafter. While doing macrame, my hand, arm, and shoulder muscles are strengthened. Just as my upper body is strong from the macrame crafting, my plant hangers are also durable and stand up to the test of time. I give close attention to my "wraps" at the start of my project and at the bottom of the hangers where the precious potted plant will be placed. These wraps give the hanger its strength. I have a magnificent plant hanger that I made in the 1980s that still looks fabulous and holds a big plant with no problem.

When you purchase a plant hanger or wall owl hanging, you are receiving a strong, well-crafted, natural product that is also good for the environment. As stated, the craft requires no electricity, unless the macrame is done in the evening. Personally, I prefer to macrame with the natural light of the day. I recently endured a five-day electricity outage on the North Coast of California. This electricity outage did not stop me from the art of macrame, which I dearly enjoy.

As I have stated in other articles, I believe that macrame is returning to popularity. Its simple, beautiful way to display plants and "back to basics" crafting style are two of the reasons, along with its eye-pleasing, natural good looks. There are numerous styles and sizes for nearly every taste. At Macramenia, we have incorporated glass beads in some petite hangers for a more evolved look that can complement the pot that holds the plant, the blooms of a plant, or even a stained glass sun catcher. Don't forget to be checking my site for the 2008 opening of my stained glass site. I will have sun catchers to complement some of my plant hangers!

Add some natural style while being eco-friendly, and consider macrame plant hangers and wall hangings to accent your residence.
