Prepare the Container for Hanging
Whether you set your container on a flat surface or suspend it in the air, the planting technique is essentially the same, so here we focus on preparing containers for hanging, both from overhead and from a wall.

You Will Need (4 things)

  • Pliers
  • Container
  • Mesh for base
  • Wire

Steps (8 steps, 35 minutes)

  1. 1

    Creating a Container to Hang from the Ceiling

    Drill a hole in the container.

  2. 2

    Bend one end of a piece of wire 90 degrees.

  3. 3

    Bend the wire into a square to fit underneath of the container base.

  4. 4

    After making three bends, make a shorter fourth bend, then a fifth bend so the long end of the wire can pass up through the hole in the base of the container.

  5. 5

    Pass the long end of the unbent section of wire through the hole in the base of the container.

  6. 6

    Turn the container so the base faces down and pass the center of the mesh over the wire.

  7. 7

    Bend the end of the wire into a J shape to form a hook.

  8. 8

    The finished item. The length of the hanging wire is up to you.
