How to hemp

hellooo does anyone know of any good 'how to' websites to make hemp necklaces and such, with pictures along with the instructions? thank ya!

 

I second that inquiry. I want to make some soleless sandals, but really have no clue how.

 

Oh me too! I don't know how, but I found a website that tells how to do it

well when i get some money to get the supplies, i'm going to try it!

 

here's a couple websites. Do some google searches for macrame & knot tying
you should find some good stuff

Hope this helps you

 

I'm selling soleless sandals on ebay! I made a whole bunch for Bonnaroo, but I need money now, so I'm selling some ahead of time. I actually wanted to keep them for myself....oh, well.

Check them out! They don't suck.

i went to that link & those definitely look cool, but i wanted to offer some words of advice. For ebay users you should show a picture of them on a foot. That way people can see how they look on.
Just an idea
Hope you sell lots and have plenty of $$$ for bonnaroo

~in love n light~

 

I want to see them on a foot ~ Can you take a photo??​

Let me know - thanks ​

 

i would suggest elaines craft coner of what ever its called. but some one already gave out the link. i'll look for the sole less sandals and post it later

 

Oh I love these....I made some a long time ago to ware to my prom. It was very pretty. I think I will do the same for my wedding.

Hay i have a book with directions and pics I will have to post them up for you guys.

 

I'll try to get a foot photo up. I just don't have a digital camera and I hate to have to use up a whole roll of film, so I just scanned the sandals. I guess I could scan my foot...

I only have one pair up right now, but I have lots more that will be up soon.

Thanks!

 

hey kids, the sandals are realli neat, but im just wondering, they aren't really sandles if they have no sole? i mean, it's more like a really intricate anklet or something, or at least that's what it seems to me...

i guess this way you can go barefoot and fool people into thinking you are wearing shoes? some peopel think you should ALWAYS be wearing shoes (gross)

 

Thank you for the link DejaVoo. Even I can make those and I'm craft "challenged".

 

Did anyone find a picture with those on a foot? I really can't picture them. I would love to see them on a foot
​

 

Hey your welcome! I'm also very craft 'challenged' too probably because i don't have much experience! I need like..really SPECIFIC and slow directions!

 

can't we cut down on these hempy how to posts? there must be at least a dozen in this forum alone...

thats a really cool site there, but i think your best bet is to go to your hometown library bc i bet they got access to a whole TON of books maybe even be able to get some from other states delivered to you for free. at least my library does and i come from a small town LOL so check that out. I just got a new book delivered to there for free and now am learning new braids for my hemp. feel free to check my site out and all the stuff i have created. My Crafts section, Beads and Other Crafts is where you would want to go but feel free to check it all out

Here are a few that I've found that have been helpful.

The spiral is probably the easiest one you can make. Once you get the basic square knot down almost everything else is just a matter of getting creative. Someone should make this a sticky, or make a new thread with more organized links then stick that...

 

here's a couple of pics of sole-less sandals that i've made in the past:

 

knitin.chick, those are fantastic!
