Hemp Bracelet Making Techniques
The first thing is to decide on the length of the bracelet. If you are planning to bead a single length of hemp, then cut the hemp a few inches longer than the length required to fit around the wrist. For knotted one, cut the hemp three times bigger than the length which will fit around the bracelet. Tie a knot to one end of the hemp. Perform beading and knotting according to the kind of design you want. After you are done with it, tie a knot at the other end too. If you do not want to tie knots, then you can also attach clasp at both the ends. For making knotted hemp bracelet, cut the hemp in three equal parts. Tie a knot at the ends. The next step is to tie five slide knots in the hemp. Over all the strings, slip small beads and again tie the five slide knots. Repeat this procedure till you get the bracelet of the desired size.
