Even if your flat surfaces aren't available, there's always room for a hanging plant, which can be suspended from the ceiling, a wall or window, or a doorknob that's not used on a daily basis. To do this, we're showing you how to make macramé hangers for anything from regular terracotta pots to colorful salad bowls that have rounded bottoms.
