Materials Needed:

• Wooden plank (cut to desired length)
• Rope or twine
• Small pots or containers for plants
• Screws and wall anchors
• Drill and drill bits

Step-by-Step Guide:

Step 1: Prepare the Wooden Plank Start by sanding the edges of the wooden plank to ensure a smooth surface. Next, stain or paint the plank in your preferred color to complement your decor style. Allow it to dry completely before moving on to the next step.

Step 2: Attach the Rope Measure and cut four equal lengths of rope or twine. Tie a knot at each corner of the wooden plank, leaving enough length to hang the shelf at your desired height. Adjust the knots to ensure they are secure and evenly spaced.

Step 3: Drill Holes for Hanging Planters Using a drill and appropriate drill bits, carefully drill holes in the plank where you want to hang your planters. Ensure that the holes are spaced evenly along the length of the shelf to achieve a balanced look.

Step 4: Hang the Shelf Secure the shelf to the wall using screws and wall anchors, making sure it is level. Hang the planters from the holes in the shelf using the rope or twine, adjusting the lengths as needed to create a visually appealing arrangement.

Step 5: Add Plants and Decorate Plant your favorite greenery in the hanging pots or containers, ensuring they are well-watered and receive adequate sunlight. Arrange additional decor items such as candles, books, or small ornaments on the shelf to enhance the overall look and feel of the space.
