Macramé Potted Plant Hangers? – What’s Old Becomes New
Macramé Potted Plant Hangers are making an entry into the world of paper crafting. Isn’t it funny that whatever is old often becomes new again. How many of you remember braiding and weaving macramé cord into patterns and then hanging them from the ceiling on hooks?
Yes, it is a trend as we move back to natural décor.
Stampin’ Up! released a stamp set, dies and an embossing folder in the Annual 2021-2022 Catalogue that replicates the natural décor .
