You guys!! Today I am back with another hanging geometric himmeli planter! (The tutorial for the first one is here!) Can you just picture how awesome they will be together?! Phew.
This planter is so simple to make, I pinky promise you can do it!
To make this planter you will need:
Brass Tubing (found here)
Pipe Cutter (can be found at Home Depot)
30 Gauge Floral Wire (can be found at Joann’s)
Leather Cord
Small Bowl
Glue Gun
Start by cutting your pipe (this is a little boring so spice things up with some Tim Riggins or something mmmkay?)
You will need:
(3) at 12”
(6) at 6”
(9) at 2”
Start by measuring 2 arms length of wire. Thread 3 of the 6” pieces onto it.
Connect the 2 ends of the wire by twisting them together.
Thread 2 more pieces of pipe onto the wire. Tuck in the little tail from your first triangle, it makes things nice and neat!
Connect them to one of the triangle elbows (doesn’t matter which one and this point!) Twist your wire and thread it through the next piece so that it comes out on the tip of your shape.
Add 1 more piece and connect it with the tip on the opposite side.
This will make a 3D triangle.
Now take (2) 12” pieces and thread them onto your wire.
Connect them to one of the triangle corners.
Thread your wire through the pipe to the last corner of the triangle.
Add your last 12” piece, and join the wire at the top.
Now to make the little hanging guy on the bottom.
Take an arm’s length of wire and thread 4 pieces of 2” tubing onto it.
Twist the wire at the ends of the pipe together to make a square.
Add 2 pieces of tube onto your wire (make sure to tuck the tail in!)
Connect it at the opposite end.
Thread your wire through ONE of the pieces so that it is coming out at one of the disconnected elbows
Add one piece of pipe
Connect the tube to the next corner (horizontally!) and repeat for the other 2 pieces.
Feed the wire back through one piece so that it is coming out of the top and attach it to the bottom triangle point of the large planter piece.
Hanging your leather cording is really simple!
Measure the length that you want and feed one end through the top of the planter.
Fold it over and hot glue the end.
Using a second piece of leather, hot glue the tip underneath the fold that you just made.
Wrap it around the longer piece nice and even.
When you have wrapped it the desired length, trim your leather and hot glue the end down.
Tada! You are amazing! Give yourself a giant high five friend!! Plant your favorite succulent or fern inside the bowl and it just rests inside the triangle!

Where is the bear print from? LOVE!
Hi there!
LOVE this planter! Anything with brass pipe is good in my book. I’m like a crow to the metallic sheen.
Thanks for sharing!
I’m obsessed with all of your amazing planters! What do you usually hang them from? I have plaster ceilings… what do I do?!! Thanks!
Yeah. That’s super cool.
Love these! I’ve seen the pyramids used as wall decor as well!
Love this planter! That brass tubing is awesome. This is something that should just be hoarded by the yard, right? LOVE the leather knot/wrap. Insanely good.
PS. It was so great meeting you at Haven! You and Jamie are just awesome!
This is not related to today’s post, but I wanted to share this charitable initiative that Southwest Airlines is doing that I thought might pique your interest! They’re looking for ways to upcycle the leather from their old seats, and of course with leather I thought of you! Here’s the article: https://www.blogsouthwest.com/repurpose-with-purpose-southwest-airlines-takes-sustainability-to-the-next-level/
This is so cool!!! Thanks for sharing!!! xo
My dining room needs three of these in different sizes. NEEDS, I tell you! As soon as our house has a bathroom again (priorities, right?), I’m making me some!
PS. Loved meeting you at Haven! Thanks for getting me out on the dance floor!
What kind of succulent is that? I love it!!
