Crochet a Mini Hanging Planter (with Dollar Store Supplies!)

Happy Tuesday Friends, and welcome to the Creative Craft Blog Hop hosted this month by Donna from Modern on Monticello! Today I'm sharing a simple crocheted craft that's cute and functional--plus it's made with thrifty dollar store supplies

If you've hopped over at visiting Lynne from Our Family Thyme, isn't her shamrock garland the cutest? These mini hanging planters are lightweight enough to hang with a thumb tack and there are many ways to display them whether you want to craft unique tiny bottle vases or create a pretty propagation station for plant cuttings. TIP: I found the mini bottles and creamy cotton yarn at Dollar Tree. 

Start with 12 chain stitches and join with a slip stitch to form a ring. Next half double crochet around the ring. Then chain 6, single crochet inside stitch. Skip a stitch and repeat this pattern around the ring until it creates a flower-like design. Insert the mini bottle, chain stitch 16 to create a hanger, slip stitch to join and tie off. TIP: Make sure the crocheted ring fits snugly around the top of the bottle.

Here you can see how I've hung several mini planters, using a large basket background to create a lovely propagation station. Look here for more creative plant decor ideas!
