Things to do:
1. The first step is measuring out five lengths of jute. The pieces should be approximately 2 yards long.

2. Fold the pieces of jute in half and tie a knot at the top, leaving a 1-inch loop to hang the planter from.


3. Separate the jute into 5 groups of 2 lengths of jute.
4. Slide a bead onto two pieces of jute and knot the strings to hold it in place. Repeat this step until all 5 groups of jute have a bead tied in place.




5. The next step is creating new groups of 2. Make a net shape by combining different pieces of jute and securing them with a bead. Continue doing this until all lengths of jute have a new group. Repeat this step several times until you’ve created a net that is large enough to support your potted plant.

6. Once you’ve added as many beads as you want to, tie a knot at the bottom of the jute.

7. Trim the ends and slip your potted plant inside.
