I love these wire air plant holders, and you can make them with things you may have around the house already!
Supplies:
- Wire – I love using copper wire because it’s flexible and easy to work with (available here).
- Air plants – I ordered mine off of Etsy here, and the seller was super sweet and answered all of my questions as an air plant newbie.
- Wire cutters
- Pliers
- Round surface (I used a screwdriver head.)
- Found items, such as rocks and wood
Aren’t they cute little plants? I also adore how they also have little flecks of red. If you’re wondering how to care for air plants, here are some tips!
- Keep them in a place away from heat and air vents, as these will potentially dry the little buggers out!
- Once a week, dip them in water for a few minutes and place them on a towel to air dry. Be gentle!
- They can also use a light spray or misting once every few days.
- Keep them away from cats, lol. True story – mine arrived, and I did the soaking and placed them on a towel only to find them strewn throughout my house when I got home! My kitties thought they were little toys. Not so!
Hopefully that answered any questions you may have about air plant care.
Now on to how to make the wire air plant holders.
Instructions
First, choose your rock. I picked a small one. Estimate how much wire you will need to wrap around the rock and also determine how tall you want your holder. The length of the wire is totally up to your aesthetic, the rock and how tall you want your air plant holder to be. 
Once you have cut your wire with wire cutters, wrap it around the stone tightly. You can cut off any excess you need to.
Next, take the other end of the wire, and wrap it around something round – a dowel, a marker or whatever is handy – to use as a guide to create a round loop for your air plant.
Here is what the final project looks like. The metal is very easy to bend, so you may have to play with it a bit once you set it up to get the air plant at the angle you would like. 
Voila, you’re done with your wire air plant holder. So cute!
I just had to show mine off below. I actually made three of them with different rocks at varying heights to add interest. They look so adorable in a little grouping!

katie werthmannThese are really adorable! I’ve never heard of an air plant, but I love this! Too bad I have three cats and those plants would be destroyed or eaten- and you can’t trust that!
JenniferI do have to admit that my kitty loves to grab and go with these. I am trying to keep him away. Lol! 🙂

AgringThese are really nice. I ‘ve never heard of this before. It’s nice addition decor to my living room. Thanks for sharing.
AmiekayI never heard of air plants before reading this post! How cute are they though? And this is such a simple way to display them. They are definitely an easy way to decorate a table or a room easily and on a budget. (Also, love that you don’t have to water them too often. I have killed many plants.)
Basundhara GhoshSuch a miniature piece of art, and looks easy to do as well. Can be a cute decoration for any room in the house, and you’re also providing an aesthetic environment. Superb !
EchoesofhervoiceSuch cute ideas! And I think you can place them anywhere in the house. They are also doable. Definitely on my list of to-dos!

Enele OgahThis is such a cool idea. I never really knew anything about them but they are such a creative bunch!
LindsayThese are just beautiful and so artistic! I’ve never heard of air plants before, but love this!! Thanks for the detailed instructions. I especially loved the “keep away from your cat” bit, as my kitty Bela eats EVERYTHING green (even fake greenery!). Sadly, my husband will never buy me flowers again after the cat attacked my roses.
LaurenceWow, this is so cute and not so complicated to do. And the materials are easy to find. I need this one for my room, so relaxing with air plants. 🙂
Laura DoveOh this is such a lovely idea! It looks like something I could actually make myself, I might give it a go!
Amy-Lynn VautourWoah… what a neat idea! I went more traditional with some decorative vases and mason jars, but this is a really intriguing idea
Melanie williamsWhat a creative and interesting idea – I don;t think my crafting results would look as good as yours though x
Alison RostI’ve never tried taking care of Air Plants before. This is actually the first time I came across it. I think the air plant holders are lovely! So chic too!
Sharon KoenigThese are adorable!! I would love to see what other designs you could do with more wire and some extra time, like maybe making them spring and spiral up, or twisting little stone beads into the design of it somehow.

AlexHello,
Just saw a video about air plant care and it warned us that contact with copper will eventually kill the air plant.
So. Do try some other kind of wire or coat it with some kind of varnish.
Cheers,
Alex
JenniferOh wow! I get SO much spam, lol, that I actually had to look this up. But it’s true. Thanks for letting me know. I truly had no idea. Interesting how a metal could be toxic to it. My poor little air plants!
