A charming handmade plant hanger from the 1980s, made with faceted crystal-look beads in aqua and warm yellow, strung in a netted macramé pattern around a cream styrofoam cup.

The beads catch light beautifully when hung near a window, and the compact size makes it perfect for small plants, succulents, or a trailing pothos. Still holding its original form after 40+ years.

Collector's Notes

The 1980s marked a brief renaissance for handmade home accessories — a moment between the minimalism of the '70s and the mass-production boom of the '90s.

Small makers and crafters hand-strung plant hangers with beads, fringe, and cord to sell at craft fairs, tourist shops, and through mail order. Most of these didn't survive: beads went missing, strings frayed, styrofoam crumbled.

A quiet statement that someone made this by hand, for real.
