Idea 9: Suspended Spherical Macrame Globe Planter
How to Make
Assembling a suspended spherical macrame globe planter creates a rounded hanging clay container designed to cradle small trailing succulents in elevated window displays. Form two matching bowl halves by pressing quarter-inch thick terracotta clay slabs into small smooth plastic spherical molds lined with thin plastic wrap. Join the two leather-hard bowl halves together along their rims using liquid slip, sealing the sphere completely before slicing a three-inch opening across the top face. Smooth the top cut edge with a damp sponge, punching four small holes spaced evenly around the upper rim to attach hanging ropes later. Carve a small flat spot onto the bottom of the globe so it sits stably on work surfaces during planting operations. Dry the spherical globe planter completely, seal the internal cavity with waterproof masonry paint, and thread cotton cord through the rim holes for hanging.
