Hi. My name is Rachel Colton. I am a former elementary school teacher turned stay at home mom with a seven year old son and a three old daughter.
I began my CZcams channel several years ago when my son started a cooperative play group. I started the channel to teach other DIY-ers how to create the crafts that I enjoy making for myself.
I have been crafting for as long as I can remember. I would come home from summer swim team practice, turn on Aleene’s Creative Living and scrounge up whatever materials I could find around the house in order to recreate the projects they had made on the show. Thank goodness my mom didn’t mind me raiding her sewing cabinet and stencil paint collection.
My favorite craft projects are macrame, Cricut, and chalk painting. In the future, I hope to add wood working and sewing to my repertoire.
Thank you for tuning into my channel. You can also follow my crafting adventures on Instagram: r.ann.c
Happy crafting!

These are adorable, and giving me great ideas!
Looks beautiful n easy for beginners. Pl tell me what length of thread should i take for 25inch table
I always say this, a good skill is learning through a good teacher. Thank you for taking the time and explaining very clearly how to do this, I will definitely try tomorrow
Hi Rachel...great video! I was wondering what is the over all length of the finished hanger from the ring to the bottom gathering? Thank you so much!
Can i make a 26in length mat with the same length of cord? That is 4 yards
Im also wondering how long the shortest (if all were the same) cord was after the gathering knot.
Im wondering if the cords end up the same length at the end? Or how much shorter/longer some are : ) how much cord did you cutt off to still have the long tassle?
Great instructional video. You are a wonderful teacher. I find your videos the best.
Thank you Rachel. I am a beginner & I love your channel. You go slow enough for me to follow your directions & the end product is always lovely.
Please give measuremenyd
Under video
In description says more
I enjoyed the clear explanation in the video. I am so sorry if it is mentioned somewhere, but I could not find a reference to how long the hanger is when it is finished, before adding the pot. I realize the final length will vary depending on pot size, so it would be helpful to know the size of the pot shown. Thank you for this information.
really u explained nicely keep it up
Thanks alot for your clear explanation.❤
I never saw her swap strings. If you kept the pattern going with the same strings, two strings were left long and Two short per arm???
Yep. And at the end after she does the gathering knot you see longer strings and shorter strings. She could have swapped them right before doing the spiral sections but she started out with really long cords to begin with
Brilliant video - so clearly explained and easy to follow. Thank you!
Thank you very much for this tutorial. What is in general the maximum size of a flower pot if i want to hang it up with a macrame plant hanger? Would be 30cm too big?
Tem como traduzir para o português?
Please, how long is the finished project? Thanks👋🏼
Excellent ,loved it
TYSM for this video! if i wanted to make it just a bit skinnier and smaller (for a mason jar), would you just take off a strand on each side or would this mess up the whole equation?
Thank you for the tutorial ❤
Very beautiful good work i will make one thanks
Thank you! Have fun!
Are these placemats washable?
Unfortunately not. You could treat them with scotch guard or just use as a decorative setting when not actually eating.
Can I just ask, for the half twisted knots, is it 18 of those or 36 as you're just going one way. For the square knots for example it was 36 but 18 knots.? Thank you.
Yes. It will twice as many since they are half knots. You can also just knot until both sections are the same length.
This video is still helpful if you’re wondering. I just made my first plant hanger and I’m so happy about it! Thank you!
Awesome! Glad you enjoyed it!
wow thank you for doing such a great job on the tutorial.
You’re welcome!
Hi Im making this . I'm using black & white . In this order all the way along the dowel , I'm making sure that I have 2 white & 2 black strands in every knot , but some of the squares are coming out in either solid white or solid black !? Why ? Can I fix that somehow ? Thanks
Since the knots alternate between the strings I believe you will have some solid white, some solid black, and some mixed.
Thank you for this helpful video! I have a different brand shade that has a lifetime warranty if it breaks. We have had them since 2010 and this was probably the third one. The store fixed it but I wanted to install it since the brackets were already installed. The store only has pdf instructions, and I am not handy at all. I saw a few CZcams videos but yours was clear! It went right into place and didn't cost me anything to have to hire a blind installer. Noe IO know what to do! Thank you!
can you tell me what the finish size was?
Hermoso!!!!!!
Que medida son los cordones?, no se inglés
Thank you for your easy-to-follow video. I love the twisting knot. We also included your video in our round-up of macrame plant hangers - so thanks!
Awesome video, easy to follow as I am just learning to macrame!
Glad it was helpful!
How do you prepare? Do you use a second coat of..... to stop chipping?
What is the length of the final product
Your CV is intersting.
احببتها كثيرا شكرا لكم❤
Quantos centímetros dá pra colocar no chapéu?
Do you have instagram?... i finished my first placemat and it looks beautiful... great video
Yes! r.ann.c. I would love to see it!
how long is the finished product? my ceiling is quite high so I feel like I need to make it longer
This is exactly what I was looking for. I have a huge plant I want to hang and it's not going to fit in the average-sized hanger. The way you showed this, I can easily see how to adapt it to a larger plant. Such a beautiful yet simple design. I am off to Hobby Lobby now! Thank you.
Amazing Video. Very helpful
I love this but the lengths you started with were way too long so I added more square knots with the longer stands to even it out and make it longer
thank you so much for this wonderful tutorial!!
How do we tie off the end to stop it coming undone?
Hi! You don’t need to tie off the ends. You can make your last knots tight and they may loosen a bit but will the front they should be fine. You can also tighten them up later if you see them coming loose but you should be fine.
Wonderful thank you
Very clear and easy to follow. Thanks :)
You’re welcome! Glad you enjoyed the video and found it helpful!
Is it normal for the two strands you're working with to become shorter than the other two?
Yes. The woking stands get used up faster than the filler strings. You can incorporate a switch knot to keep the strings even or you can save your extra cut offs at the end for smaller projects like earrings.
Not sure where I went wrong but I've ended up with some too short to make the basket bit 😂
You have a couple options. You can start over with longer strings. Or you can undo some of your knots so that you have enough string to make the bottom portion. Or you can undo some of your knots and make a switch knot where you swap the inner and outer strings so that you have more material to work with. I hope that helps!
