Macrame Supplies – Rings, Beads & Dowels

To make a Macrame plant hanger, you usually need between 3mm and 5mm Macrame cords. Most plant hangers require a small wooden ring and often some wooden beads for embellishment.

I usually browse Etsy until I find something that matches my project. You can easily search for sellers near you and support local businesses in the process! Here are my favorite finds:

• Wooden Rings
• Wooden Macrame Beads
• Metal Rings
• Driftwood
• Standard Wooden Dowel

Macrame Supplies – Cords

I recommend using 3mm to 5mm Macrame cords in either 3-Ply, Single Twist, or Braided for Macrame plant hangers.

What cords to use for your project also depends on the tutorial you follow. This information is usually found in the video description on YouTube.
