I was wondering if you guys could Give me some good places to buy hemp products online or locally ( live in Atlanta GA area ) And what kind of hemp Necklaces and Bracelets you guys prefer the most Thanks! PEACE LOVE HAPPYNESS
Go to www.etsy.com and search for hemp. I have a couple of anklets listed there, but I doubt I get much traffic on there... but there's some pretty nice stuff on it though, just search around... plus, you'll be supporting independent artists.
any store that sells crafts (ie WalMart, Michaels, Zellers in Canada, even smal craft stores) will carry hemp, and kits to make hemp jewelry that comes with beads and everything... otherwise, like BSR said, checking out places like etsy.com or ebay, there's a supply of hempy things there!
Hemp Clothing: http://nibusclothing.com/ Hemp shoes: http://www.ipath.com/ I can personally attest to the value of these products, I wear IPath shoes, and i've got clothing from Nibus........Nibus' hoodies are unparalleled in durability and warmth.
Thanks for your guys Help ill be shure to check out these places and try to start making hemp products of my own PEACE LOVE HAPPINESS
i got some really cool beads at this arts supplies store called Michaels. they also have lots of variety of hemp.
I have a problem when making anything with hemp twine.. I get seriously itchy! Is it just me? Or am I maybe using some funky hemp twine?
maybe yours is quite corse. I had one like that that was quit itchy, i crochet with it. try getting a softer one
some is lumpy... some isn't. if its too stiff to work with soak it in some water for a while and it will be alot softer and easier to work with
Thanks for the tip, I'm going to try that! I did buy some new stuff today, it was much thinner, sooo much easier to use, and it didn't make me itchy! My first attempt was the one with the pink bead, but being a newbie.. I forgot to leave a way to tie it. The one with the metal word plate (says Laughter) was my second attempt, and I remembered to leave a loop, so now I can actually use it. I think I did pretty well, and I really enjoyed doing.. just have to learn some new knots!
that is beautiful. i am trying to teach myself some new things. i am tired of making same old stuff. i want to wait till i can have variety before i sell my work. plus i love doing it for fun. :daisy:
