I was cleaning up around the house last Sunday evening... A drain had clogged, and in the process of getting it unclogged, things had become messy. Since I was cleaning anyway, I took the time to straighten up a few other areas, including some potted plants and cabling. When finished, I had a left-over mint plant, and forty-some feet of damaged Ethernet cable. Since I had plenty of other things to do, and didn't particularly want to do them, I spent a relaxing half-hour knotting a plant hanger with the cable.
Twenty years ago, this would have been called "recycling". But in these enlightened times, I feel fully justified in calling it a "green" plant hanger. Even though it's blue.

Network cable macrame
Got some extra network cable lying around? (who doesn't?) Why not try your hand at some Cat-5 macrame and make a handsome high-tech plant-hammock out of it?
