Bravo ncshabby- very adorable. Tell us what you made your hanger from please!!!! :)

I made some hanging ones for my shop last yr. I found these wire things at a farmstore(rural king). They had a loop on one end and you could fit 4 small pots on them. They worded great. Ncshabby your pots are sooo cute...Our DS had them this yr. But never thought of TP's. Is there a better way to spraypaint the pots. I tried the hand painted thing and it looked awful. So I sprayed over it. This thing of tapeing it off all the time takes so much time...

There's some painted in our GJ album. I painted mine out front, tho used dark green spray paint, then sponged white on the rims. I did use terra cotta pot sealer on both the inside and outside of them first, and sprayed Krylon poly after painting. They've been out in the sun, heat, and rain, and occasional frost for several years now.

I like the sponge paint ideal...Never thought of that...Thanks...

We make our hangers for the tipsy pots from rebar. Bend a loop on the bottom, thread the pots on, and bend the top into a loop to form a hanger. I don't have a picture right now but will take one and try to send.

I found the hangers at our local hardware store. the are Shepards hooks large hook at the top and small hook at the bottom approximately 4 feet long. They only had 4 and I bought them all. Then I found one that is Aluminum even longer very sturdy too I have 7 clay post hanging on it in one of my Dogwood trees.

This sounds confusing but it's actually really simple and cheap...I'm hoping it makes sense! The boyfriend used chain and 8" terra cotta pots to make his hanging tipsy pots. He ran the chain down the center of the top pot, looped it back up around the side of the pot and back down through the center hole. For the middle pots he just ran the chain down through the center hole of each, without looping it back around. For the final pot, he repeated the process of the first pot... running the chain through the center hole and looping it back around the side of the pot. He then just attached the chain back to itself (just above the final pot), securing the whole thing.

He had it hanging from our side tree last year for the entire season. We got lots of compliments on it. He's moved on to a chandelier full of ivy this year...

He did want me to mention that plastic pots might be a better idea because the terra cotta dried out so quickly... unless you really, really enjoy watering!

These are so great. Love the tipsy pots just hanging around. I need "something" (for privacy) on the south side/street side of my hot tub. I wonder if a wall of hnging tipsies would work?

I think Tipsy pots would look good everywhere...
