1. Macramé Hanging Planter with Strawberry Charm

Why I Fell in Love With Boho Strawberry Planters
Alright, let me tell you a quick story — okay, maybe not that quick. A few years ago, I decided I wanted to grow strawberries indoors but had zero outdoor space. Like most apartment dwellers, my balcony was the size of a postage stamp. So I did what any normal person would do: I Googled “how to grow strawberries without sunlight” and spiraled into a Pinterest vortex of bohemian madness.
That’s when I stumbled across macramé hanging strawberry planters. At first, I thought it was one of those cute ideas that looks good in photos but doesn’t work in real life. Boy, was I wrong.
My First DIY Attempt (Spoiler: It Was Ugly)
I tried making my own macramé planter using some leftover cotton cord and a plastic pot from the dollar store. Big mistake. Not only did the pot slip out (awkward), but the knots were uneven and looked like they were done by someone who had just woken up. Which I kind of was.
But I learned something super important: not all cords are created equal. If you’re going to try this at home — and trust me, you should — go for 3mm or 5mm cotton cord, and invest in a proper fabric stiffener if you want your hanger to hold shape. Oh, and don’t skip the beads. They add weight, style, and honestly, make your project look way more professional.
How to Make Your Own (Without Screwing Up Like Me)
Here’s the thing about boho-style strawberry hangers: they can be as simple or fancy as you want. Want a minimalist vibe? Use white cord and leave it plain. Prefer a pop of color? Dye the cords with tea or fabric dye, or thread on some wooden beads.
I like making mine with three to four strawberry pockets — small cutouts where the plants peek through. That way, you get cascading vines and berries while still keeping everything compact. Plus, it makes your living room look like an urban jungle dreamland without sacrificing floor space.
Pro tip: use felt-lined baskets or felt strawberry pockets inside the macramé to keep the soil from falling out. Trust me, you’ll thank yourself later.
Customization = The Real Magic
One of my favorite things about these macramé hanging planters is how customizable they are. You can match them to your bedroom aesthetic, your bathroom wall color, even your wedding theme (true story — I made one for a friend’s rustic barn reception backdrop).
Use gold beads for glam, jute rope for farmhouse vibes, or pastel cords for that soft Scandinavian feel. You’re not limited to one type of knot either — mix square knots, spiral knots, and even fringe to really give it texture.
And yes, you can grow edible strawberries this way — just choose everbearing varieties like ‘Albion’ or ‘Seascape’. Small pots, well-draining soil, and regular feeding are key.
