How much cord do I need for a macrame plant hanger?
This is the general rule if you're asking yourself about how much macrame cord you need for a plant hanger: your macrame cord needs to be about four times the length of your project. If the cords are doubled, meaning folded in half to create two cords, then aim for eight times the length of your project. In short:
Macrame cord length: finished macrame plant hanger length x 4 x 2 = 8 x finished plant hanger length per cord.
What cord size should I use for a macrame plant hanger?
My personal preference is 4 mm cord. To give you a bit more wiggle room, I'll say choose medium size 3 - 6mm - these are all common sizes in many general macramé projects.
Also, most of these free macrame patterns for plant hangers use medium sizes between 3 and 5mm.

Tips For Creating Macrame Plant Hangers - and Questions Answered
What is the best size for a macrame plant hanger?
In short, the best size range is 30 to 40 inches (76 to 102 cm) from the top of the hanger to the bottom of the tassel or basket.
First, it depends on the plant size, but also where you'll hang it from: most commonly, a macrame plant hanger will hang from the ceiling. This means it should not be too short because you'll need to reach the plant to water it. This why we'd recommend not to go shorter than 36 inches.

What is the best material for macrame plant hangers?
Macrame can be made from a variety of materials, but the most popular materials for creating a macrame wall hanging are:
- Macrame rope - a specialized type of cord that is thicker and stiffer than traditional macrame materials. It's ideal for creating large-scale macrame projects like wall hangings and plant hangers. Mostly made from pure cotton or 80/20 cotton blends.
- Cotton cord - soft and pliable, cotton cord is a great choice for beginners. It's widely available and comes in a range of sizes and colors.
- Jute twine - this is a natural fiber that gives a rustic, earthy look to macrame projects. It's also strong and durable.
- Hemp cord - another durable natural fiber but it has a slightly rough texture, which can make it more challenging to work with than cotton or jute.
- Polyester cord can be a good choice for outdoor macrame projects because it is resistant to UV rays and moisture.
