12. Macrame Pocket Plant & Light Sconce

Concept & Aesthetic Appeal

The ultimate bohemian multi-tasker. This hybrid wall hanging combines knotted cotton macrame cord with a pocket sleeve that holds both a glowing light source and a trailing air plant or faux greenery stem.

Materials Needed

  • Natural cotton macrame cord (3mm or 4mm)
  • A wooden ring or driftwood stick for the top hanger
  • A small glass jar or mason jar
  • Battery-operated fairy lights or puck light
  • Faux or real trailing plant (like English ivy or string of pearls)

Step-by-Step Instructions

  • Tie your macrame cord around your wooden ring or driftwood stick using basic square knots and gathering knots to create a net pocket that securely cradles your glass jar.
  • Place your glass jar inside the lower macrame pocket.
  • Insert your battery-operated fairy lights inside the jar, threading the battery pack discreetly behind the knotwork.
  • Add your trailing faux plant sprig into the jar alongside the lights so that green leaves cascade down over the macrame cords.
  • Hang the entire piece from a decorative wall hook.

Styling Tips & Variations

  • Variation: Dip-dye the bottom ends of the macrame fringe in terracotta or sage green fabric dye for an ombre effect.
  • Styling: Ideal for bohemian bedrooms, sunlit balconies, or cozy cottagecore kitchens.
