Plants totally liven up a home, and hanging them (whether in a DIY hanging planter or one you pick up from a store) takes them to a whole other level, literally.
The tutorials below will help you transform rope, wood slices and even recyclables into stunning hanging planters for a fraction of the cost of store bought. And if you want to put together a planter to enhance your floor as well as your ceiling, we’ve got instructions for that, too.
