INSTRUCTIONS

Step 1. Cut 4 lengths of cord about 1.5m long.

Step 2. Fold these through the metal ring so they are halved in length. You should now have 8 cords to use. It is helpful if you can hang the ring with the cords while you are working on them.

Step 3. Start by tying 2 cords together in a knot and work your way around so you end up with 4 knots. The height of these knots will indicate where the top of your pot will sit.

Step 4. Then about 10cm down knot a second row around by pulling together the adjacent cords. You should start to see a net pattern form.

Step 5. Pull all the remaining cords together in the centre and knot all together, this knot will be at the base of your pot and hold it in place.

Step 6. Cut the remaining cord to be all the one length and place pot inside to hang.

Step 7. Repeat process for remaining 2 pots and fill with real or faux plants.
