Crochet Plant Hangers for Craft Fairs and Gifts
If you are a plant person, you will want to crochet yourself a few quick plant hangers with scrap yarn as a fast summer project! Lacking a green thumb? Make these as gifts or to sell at craft fairs. Don't forget to display it with a pretty pot and a plant. A long, trailing Pothos is a nice choice to show it off!
