Green Macrame

The art of macrame is environmentally friendly. It does not require electricity, chemicals or any harsh products. A lot of people now days are becoming increasingly interested in buying natural, safe products. Macrame is certainly a step in that direction and always has been, especially if you are a plant lover who is looking for various options to show off your plants. Macramenia has a variety of hangers for all kinds of plants and pot sizes.

The making of macrame is also good for the crafter. As I macrame, my hand, arm, and shoulder muscles are strengthened. Just as my upper body is sturdy from the macrame process, my plant hangers are also strong and stand up to the test of time. I give special care to my "wraps" at the start of my project and at the bottom of the hangers where the precious potted plant will be set. These wraps provide the hanger with its strength. I have a magnificent plant hanger that I made in the 1980s that still looks fabulous and holds a big plant with no problem.

When you buy a plant hanger or wall owl hanging, you are getting a sturdy, well-crafted, handmade product that is also safe for the environment. As mentioned, the art requires no electricity, unless the macrame is done in the evening. Personally, I like to macrame with the natural light of the day. I recently endured a five-day electricity outage on the North Coast of California. This electricity outage did not keep me from the art of macrame, which I thoroughly enjoy.

As I have mentioned in other articles, I see that macrame is returning to popularity. Its simple, beautiful way to show off plants and "back to basics" crafting style are some of the reasons, along with its eye-pleasing, natural good looks. There are numerous styles and sizes for practically every need. At Macramenia, we have used glass beads in some smaller hangers for a more evolved look that can complement the pot that holds the plant, the flowers of a plant, or even a stained glass sun catcher. Don't forget to be checking my site for the 2008 announcement of my stained glass site. I will have sun catchers to complement some of my plant hangers!

Add some natural charm while being eco-friendly, and consider macrame plant hangers and wall hangings to accent your home.
