Pretty Pots Hangin on the Fence

This is a very cute and easy craft I did to decorate my fence, add more color, and because I want my yard to feel a bit crafty.  I do have to give mention to my sweet husband who repaired this piece of the fence in less than an hour so I could hang these pots.
                                                                                                                Container Gardening
I got the idea from this blog:http://nicedecors.com/diy-lively-vertical-garden-on-a-fence/
My pot arrangement is not as cute as the one in the Blog, but my husband said my fence slats were too thin to support the pots, which meant I could only use the cross beams, so this was the alternative placement.  As long as I don't look at the other photo I'm just fine with this. 
Most of them are 6 inch pots that I found at Menard's for 98 cents.  I had to make 2 trips so a few are 6.3 inches.  My husband, who likes straight lines, thought this flaw should be remedied.  Menard's is across town, so my reasoning for keeping it this way was: I feel it demonstrates my "It's never gonna be perfect so why even try - just be happy that it even got finished" personality.  I I spray painted the Terracotta pots with the help of my mom and grandmother then  planted: 
White Alyssum, 
Sweet Potato Vine "Marguerite," 
and Impatiens "Punch."
I turned a few friends onto this project as well - can't wait to see how theirs turns out!!
Here is where I ordered the hangers for the pots (cuz they were no where to be found in my city!!):
