Can someone teach me how to make hemp jewlery?

ok soo....i want to try my luck with makin hemp jewelry but i have never done it before and noone around here has either....sooo good someone explain how to do it??...or give a website or something or another! thanks!

 

If you go to any store that sells hemp, they'll likely have a book about how to make jewelery with it...

Otherwise, you can try these or google your own links:

i go to this arts and crafts store in my town called micheals. maybe you have someplace like that in your area.

 

I love making hemp jewelry. Fortunately, my first hemp rope came with a little instruction book. These can be found at Wal-Mart, or previously mentined, Michaels.

 

I would really like to know becuase I love to look at them and see them. So cool.

 

try doing a google search. most craft stores will carry both hemp + hemp jewelery instruction books. most craft stores and department stores have hemp jewelery kits (hemp + beads + instructions)... Michaels and Walmart come to mind. the kits are good because they're relatively inexpensive and easy to follow, and have all your materials there.

 

Also, once you do a few with the kits, you get the hang of the knots and then you can do it for yourself! That's what i did, and i continue to do it with a lot of stuff i want to learn. I'd even buy those little kits they make for children, the kind you can pick up at wal-mart. They'll really teach you some basics.

I used this link aswell to get started and it helped me with the basic weaves but it doesn't tell what to do at first really.

Work in an area with a hook or something. Get your hemp and bend it so that the ends are even. Put the looped end on the hook and then get your long string and double it too, tie it at its middle point to the base hemp at the base and then do the weaves in the picture. This allows a little loop at the end of your piece to shut it around the person wearing it. Just tie a knot at the other end and put it through.
If that made no sense, PM me and ill send pictures

 

wow! cool sites...I'm going to try my had at hemp jewlery now!

 

^it's great fun, and it's easy and pretty cheap. couldn't think of a better low key hobby!
