A flat-wall semi-circular half-mandala wall planter suspends a single potted plant flush against a flat wall rather than hanging freely from a ceiling hook. This design mounts onto a straight horizontal driftwood branch or wooden dowel, featuring an intricate half-mandala tapestry woven with diagonal double half hitches and berry knots across the upper backdrop. Two forward-projecting woven loops extend outward from the bottom edge of the wall hanging to cup a flat-backed ceramic wall planter or half-round terracotta pot securely against the wall surface.
To build this wall planter, mount twelve eight-foot cords of four-millimeter single-twist cotton cord onto a twelve-inch horizontal wooden dowel using lark’s head knots, creating twenty-four working strands. Weave an arched half-mandala pattern across the upper six inches using concentric rows of diagonal double half hitch knots, incorporating decorative three-dimensional berry knots into the center wedges. From the outer and center cords below the mandala, braid four reinforced four-strand flat bands forward at ninety-degree angles to form a horizontal pot cradle basket. Join the bands beneath the pot with a tight square knot matrix flush against the lower hanging cords. Allow the remaining background cords to fall straight down into an asymmetrical fringe, combing and trimming the lower edge into a crisp chevron point using fabric shears.
