Today I put together the perfect little project for plant lovers, tiny space dwellers, or anyone who’s ever thought, “I could really use one more shelf space.” Using scrap wood, a bit of macramé cord, and a metal key ring, I whipped up a simple hanging wall shelf that’s equal parts functional and cute—and it took less than 10 minutes!
If you’ve got a growing jungle at home and you’re running out of flat surfaces, this is for you. And by the way, if it’s plants, it’s not hoarding—it’s a hobby with roots.
Here’s What You’ll Need:
- A piece of scrap wood (cut to your desired shelf size)
- Macramé cord or sturdy twine
- 1 metal key ring
- A drill
- Wall hardware (hook, nail, or screw depending on your setup)
Watch How It’s Done:
This shelf design is incredibly forgiving—no fancy woodworking required. I put together a quick video tutorial to walk you through the process step by step. You’ll see exactly how to drill the holes, thread the cord, tie it off, and get that perfect hanging balance.
Whether you’re making space for a new trailing pothos or displaying a few tiny planters, this DIY shelf is a satisfying and practical way to level up your plant corner.
So grab your scrap wood pile, watch the video, and let’s get started. Your plants will thank you.
