Finger Weave Plant Hanger
Here a new twist on an fun retro craft. Use weaving loops to make plant hangers to coordinate with your decor.

You need:

• Approximately 200 Weaving Loops
  depending upon the size of the hanger. 
  Just remember the loops will stretch out when with the weight of the plant.

Instructions:

1. Wrap the first loop around your pinky. Twist it one half turn and loop it around your ring finger.		2. Twist it another half loop and loop it around your middle finger. Another half twist and then around your index finger.		3. Repeat with the second loop.
4. Stretch out the bottom loop from from your pinky, Lift it over the top loop and stretch it over to the back of your pinky.		5. Do the same with your the loops on the other three fingers. Continue weaving in this manner. The belt will start to form down the back of your hand. Weave a yard or more of loops.		6. If you need to take a break, slide a pencil or pen through the working loops as you remove them from your fingers. To finish slide loops off your fingers and double knot the last row.

Weave two braids about 2 yards long. Criss cross them at the middle and fold to make a loop. Wrap a weaving loop tightly around the loop about 2" from the fold. Gather the ends together and wrap another weaving loop near the bottom to make a base for the plant to sit in. Separate the braids and set a plant inside, space the braids to balance the plant.
