If you have a log at home, you can use it to make a hanging planter. The key here is to use the log as a base material and hang the planter by supporting it with several ropes.

Make small holes in the logs and insert the ropes one by one. Then tie a knot at the very bottom. Hang the pots and plant the desired plants in each pot and place them on the logs.

3. Hanging flower pot using embroidery frame

Attach the flower pot to the embroidery frame so that it doesn’t fall, then plant the desired plant and hang it. This way, you can complete a simple, yet sophisticated and beautiful flower pot!

4. Hanging flower pots made from recycled tires

Tie a rope, hang a flower pot, and fill it with the plant you will like to have inside the disco ball. This is really quite unique and creative; it will be an amazing decoration for your home or outdoors.

6. Hanging flower pots using wooden boards

Just draw a circle on a piece of wood according to the size of the flower pot. Then cut the wood according to the shape you drew and make holes. If you use a long piece of wood, you can make several holes and put the flower pots in one by one.

Now, just drill two holes at the end with a drill, tie a rope through it and hang the planter wherever you want.
