Step 1
Photos: Chloe Count Optional step, if the pot as you want. Prepare your potty beforehand, so that the paint has time to dry thoroughly before starting your work. If you want to give him the same look as mine; add tape around the pot to determine the future colored border. On the part you want to keep intact, just add a piece of paper to protect it from the paint.
Step 2

Cover your pot the desired number of layers (at least 2 in general). Let dry for at least 15 minutes before the last layer to remove the sheets of paper and tape. Set aside the pot and let it dry at least 48 hours before use.
Step 3
Photos: Chloe Graf to reach the net macrame, first cut 8 pieces of rope 4-5 meters long. The length is the number of nodes that you want to make your net and hang out the desired length of the suspension. It is always good to work with more strings and cut them later. Once your cut pieces, the ends burn easily, so they do not fray.
Step 4
Photos: Chloe Count Start braiding from below by her 8 piece of rope. Form a large bow with them, with enough pieces to hang superfluous decoration. You get your starting point, which will be under the pot.
Step 5
Photos: Chloe Count Disconnect your strings into 4 groups of 2 Take a group of strings in hand and make a double knot with two ropes. Make a double knot so that it to the bottom of a pot (not below). Repeat 3 times with the other 3 groups.
Step 6
Photos: Chloe Count Once you have completed your first 4 nodes, separate the strings again 4 new groups of two initially the strings mounted side by side. Double nodes, each group of two strings attempts to establish the same distance as the first and symmetrical.
Step 7
Step 6 as many times as desired. However, I would advise you to get the last node of the network only a little over the edge of the pot.
Step 8
Photos: Chloe number for those like me who would like to give a little color in her rope; Prepare your dye by dilution with water, as directed by the manufacturer. Protect your hands with gloves and work surface (be careful, it stains). Once the dye is ready, dip your net in whole or in part depending on the desired effect and enjoy them all a dozen minutes. Remove fillet from the dyeing and hang to dry. When using wooden beads, could they (are enough 3 minutes to color it too) to give a little color by dipping in the dye works.
Step 9
Photos: Chloe count now that everything is dry; perform a simple knot, with two strings, a little higher in the last node. Put a bead of wood and imprison them with another single node.
Step 10
Photos: Chloe Count Finish your macrame weaving a large bow, as made in step 4 Excess rope and burn the ends. For those who know a little knot, make a loop with two groups of four strings and tie a knot. To solidify the (hanged or node) no loops that perform formant son over the rest of the loop. Remove excess and burn the ends.
Step 11

Tips and Tricks
- For the production of nets macrame you can find cotton rope, nylon, climbing or Trapilho (DIY ball jersey here, or here directly) to use.
- If you are a beginner macrame, I often recommend that you place your pot on the net, so check with him if the node to places that you like and that will take to get everything straight.
- To determine which stops the top of your hanging basket, take the test. Place your pot in the net and put it into play. This makes it easier to turn the bulk endpoint at length.
- When applying paint to the pot, the simplest and will be less messy to use a cardboard box.
- When using spray paint, hold the bottle far enough away from the object sprayed and spray with push button. This will prevent excess paint and drips.
- You can install what you want in your network: a vase of flowers, a terrarium, etc. For you, your braid used to tailor the vessel!
- Not the courage to end up with a complicated knot? Make a big knot and use a S-hooks to hang your performance.
