Today I have a super easy DIY post for you. Remember in the rope shelves post, I promised to show you how to make a hanging planter with rope. Ready?

I had been scouting for good  balcony railing planters to hold the rectangular planters but yet to find one that doesn’t cost a fortune. I am not too fond of the custom made welded ones.  So until then here is a stop gap solution to save floor space and give the plants extra sunlight.

Things you’ll need:

• a plastic rectangular planter of any size
• screw driver
• two ropes of equal length
• two S hooks – the kind you use in the kitchen. You’ll get it in any hardware shop for Rs.20-25 a piece
• soil/potting medium like cocopeat
• newspaper

Steps:

1. Spread a newspaper on the floor and if you have soil in the planter, empty the contents.
