Longer video today but O P E N M E so you can get all the details friends! Finally my attempt at showing you macrame plant hangers and why not make it festive with adding some DIY pumpkin decor? Have you always wanted to macrame but don’t know where to start? I got you boo. Today I’m teaching you some basic macrame knots to create a plant hanger! Everything you see in this video I have learned from the links I have put below and did this all in a couple of hours so have faith in yourself when you try it! It does take a little patience. I am no macrame genius so this is literally the most beginner, inexperienced execution on my behalf and I hope this video helps you. Doing this has made me want to learn every knot though, it’s extremely addicting and so damn beautiful! Which pumpkin and hanger are your favorite? Happy Wednesday babes xx.

Pumpkin decor
-Drill and drill bit size of your choice – there is SO much Pinterest inspiration that you can scroll through, I typed in “drilled pumpkins” and there are endless photos for you to reference
-Faux pumpkins – I got mine at Michael’s and they are 60% off right now! Go snag them. I also chose fake pumpkins because then they can last forever and you don’t have to deal with a moldy old pumpkins every year! You also don’t need to hang these up, these make killer centerpieces and awesome Fall mantle decor! http://www.michaels.com/9-in-cream-craft-pumpkin-by-ashland/10476348.html#start=8
