Gear guide
Best Macrame Plant Hanger Kits
Picked from Amazon listings, not hands-on tests. How we pick
A macrame plant hanger kit should put everything for a first hanger in one box: cord, a ring to hang it from, a few beads and instructions that show the knots. Kits differ more than their photos suggest. Some hold one long roll that you measure and cut yourself, others come pre-cut; the cord runs from 3mm to 5mm; and the instructions may be a printed booklet, a video, an e-book or a mix. The number worth checking is cord length per hanger. By published patterns, a hanger of 30 to 36 in uses 6 or 8 folded cords of 10 to 13 ft each, roughly 20 to 35 yards in total, so a kit that promises three hangers from 50 yards will make short or simple ones. This guide compares seven kits by what their listings state: how many hangers, cord thickness and total length, the hardware included and the instruction format. Nothing here was tested. To check a kit against your own hanger length, use the calculator at /tools/macrame-cord-calculator.

Aesthetic Creative kit, 3 hangers, 109 yd 3mm cord
See price on AmazonA kit for 3 different plant hangers with 109 yards of 3mm twist cotton cord, 3 wooden rings, 16 wooden beads and a step by step booklet. That is about 36 yards per hanger, in line with published patterns.

- A step by step instruction booklet covers 3 different hanger designs, with picture and video demonstrations.
- The wooden beads are described as having large threading holes.
Limits to know
- 3mm cord is thinner than the 4mm usually used for plant hangers, so the hangers suit smaller, lighter pots.
- No hooks for hanging are listed, so a ceiling or wall hook has to be bought separately.
Pick 2 · MAOQIAN
MAOQIAN 3 in 1 kit, 220 yd of 3mm cotton cord
See price on AmazonOne 220 yard roll of 3mm natural cotton cord with a manual for 3 plant hanger designs, 2 wooden and 2 metal rings (65 mm) and 40 wood beads. Enough cord for more than the three hangers.

- Hardware includes 2 wooden rings and 2 metal rings of 65 mm, 20 wood beads of 20 mm and 20 painted beads of 17 mm.
- The instruction manual shows 3 plant hanger weaving methods step by step.
Limits to know

- The listing mentions a paper manual only: no video tutorial is named.
Pick 3 · Ewparts
Ewparts plant hanger kit, 4 hangers, 4mm pre-cut
See price on AmazonA kit for four plant hangers in green, purple, orange and blue, with pre-cut 4mm cord, metal rings and an instruction book backed by online tutorials. The pick for skipping the measuring.

- Metal rings are included for hanging the finished plant hangers.
- The instruction book has step by step tutorials, and the title adds online tutorials.
