    Thanks! It's pretty easy, but very time-consuming if you're interested in making one. I used the thickest hemp I could find.

    Have you ever made a hemp necklace? I just used those basic macrame knots to make it.

    Just need practise :) Be nice to do something like that with coloured hemp, but the natural-er colour is pretty damn good looking, too !

    How many rolls of hemp does that take? It from the pics, it looks like you just started from tying it onto a long stick, yes? Good work!

    I think I used a little less than two rolls of the thickest hemp I could find. I started this project a while ago and picked it up again recently, so I don't quite remember.

    Yeah, that was just a spare piece of wood I found in the basement, haha. It fits perfectly into my bedroom door frame, but in those pictures I have it tucked behind two nails on top of the frame.
