Sturdy hanging planters

Hi, everyone! I know this is tricky, but I’m giving it a try here.
I’d like to make a hanging system for my plants. Back in the day, there used to be those macramé cords. Now I have quite a few houseplants that I’d love to hang up. I already have the large (and heavy) planters, so I have an idea floating around in my head, and it’s actually pretty easy.
Where could I find something like that? I’ve been looking for a while.
I was thinking of using sturdy twine (maybe crocheting around a plastic clothesline, like they do with some other baskets). Something like that? Maybe made from packing twine? I’d make something flat, 10–12 cm in diameter. Then, at 4 or 6 points along the desired length, I’d crochet 3–4 double crochet-wide loops. Once the desired length is reached, I’d tie all the loops together at the top. What do you think? Where could I find something like this? Has anyone ever made something like this before, or do you have any other ideas? Thank you so much for your help.

I once saw hanging planters made from textile yarn. I can imagine they’re quite sturdy. 
If you want to make a sturdy basket or tray first, you could maybe try using rattan cane. 

I wish you lots of success. 

Best regards

Hi Michaela! I hadn’t even thought of textile yarn, but that’s a good idea. I’ll take some time to think it over. I’d only thought of the flat plate as an extra support and was secretly hoping—when I checked my post today—that at least 100 people would have responded saying they have these macramé things lying around in their basements that they want to get rid of.................
Thank you so much. I’ve now finished my third Prairie Shawl. When are the new designs coming??? I’m smiling sweetly too°
Best regards

Hi Renate,

New designs are in the works. ;-) A new pattern will be published in December.

Best regards
Michaela
