You will need

• embroidery yarn, rope, twine or ribbon
• scissors
• pot and flowers

Step 1
Cut eight equal lengths of twine about 80cm long, depending on how low or high you’d like your plant to hang. Rather start with too much than end up running short!

Step 2
Tie all the pieces of twine together in a knot, joining them securely, and separate the lengths into sets of two.

Step 3
Tie a knot in each set, making sure the distance between knots is equal.

Step 4
Smooth out the lengths of twine. Now tie a knot with the left piece of twine from one set and the right piece of twine from the set closest to it.

Step 5
Test if the twine basket is big enough for your chosen container. For a bigger basket, make another set of knots as explained above.

Step 6
Place florist foam in your container and arrange a few beautiful blooms that take your fancy.
