Cut about half of a sleeve of an old white shirt (Image 1). A shirt with stiff fabric and a cuff works best for this project. Use a fabric marker to draw your desired design. We went with mudcloth (Image 2). Fold the cuff over, and continue drawing the pattern (Image 3).

Turn the sleeve inside out (Image 1), and cut three slits around the seam of the cuff using small, sharp scissors. Make the base by gathering the bottom of the sleeve and tying tightly with a rubber band (Image 2). Turn the sleeve right side out (Image 3).

Cut three strips of leather cording long enough to hang your plant. Thread each cord through a slit in the sleeve and knot to secure (Images 1 and 2). Place your potted plant in the sleeve (Image 3). Thread and tie a wooden bead halfway up the cords, double knotting the cord to keep the bead in place (Images 4 and 5).
