FREE PATTERN: Scroll This 8-Cut Plant Hanger


Make an attractive and functional plant hanger with just eight cuts

By Sue Mey

Decorating can’t get any simpler than this classic plant holder. Make one or several to dress up your outdoor spaces.

Making the Plant Hanger

Attach the patterns to the two wood blanks. Drill the indicated holes and then drill blade-entry holes for the frets. Cut the frets and then cut the perimeter of the plant hangers. Cut the dowels to length. Sand everything smooth. Glue the dowels into the appropriate holes. Apply a finish of your choice; I use clear spray varnish, but exterior paint works, as well. Thread a string through the top holes to hang the hanger. Place a potted plant on the flat surface of the hanger.

  • Wood, 3/4″ (1.9cm) thick: 2 each, 8″ x 11″ (20.3cm x 27.9cm)
