Macram - Good As Green
Macram is an environmentally friendly craft. No electricity, chemicals or any harsh products are involved. Now, many people are becoming more interested in buying natural, safe products. If you are a plant lover who is looking for different options to show off your plants, macram is certainly a step in that direction and always has been. Macramenia has a variety of hangers for all kinds of plants and pot sizes.
The making of macram is also good for the crafter. As I macram, my hand, arm, and shoulder muscles are strengthened. Just as my upper body is strong from the macram crafting, my plant hangers are also strong and stand up to the test of time. I give close care to my "wraps" at the start of my project and at the bottom of the hangers where the precious potted plant will be set. These wraps provide the hanger with its strength. I have a large plant hanger that I crafted in the 1980s that still looks terrific and holds a big plant with no problem.
When you purchase a plant hanger or wall owl hanging, you are receiving a strong, well-crafted, natural product that is also good for the environment. As stated, the art requires no electricity, unless the macram is done at night. Personally, I like to macram with the natural light of the day. I recently experienced a five-day electricity outage on the North Coast of California. This electricity outage did not keep me from the art of macram, which I thoroughly love.
As I have stated in other articles, I believe that macram is returning to popularity. Its simple, beautiful way to show off plants and "back to basics" crafting style are two of the reasons, along with its attractive, natural good looks. There are many styles and sizes for nearly every need. At Macramenia, we have incorporated glass beads in some smaller hangers for a more evolved look that can match the pot that holds the plant, the blossoms of a plant, or even a stained glass sun catcher. Remember to be checking my site for the 2008 opening of my stained glass site. I will have sun catchers to match some of my plant hangers!
Consider macram plant hangers and wall hangings to accent your house. Add some natural beauty while being eco-friendly at the same time.
