Make Hemp Necklaces
Anyone with a little time and patience will be able to make hemp necklaces. The process to make hemp necklaces can be broken into three distinct phases. Once you master these steps, you will be able to make hemp necklaces quickly and easily for all of your friends. The first thing you must do to make hemp necklaces is the preparation phase. This involves cutting two pieces of hemp that around 12 times the length that you want the final necklaces to be. Next, fold both of these pieces in the middle and tie and overhand knot. You will need to find something secure to attack this loop to, such as a chair or pinned to couch. Once these steps are done, you are ready to start to make hemp necklaces.
First, you must separate your four strands of hemp with one piece on the left, one on the right, and the other two in the middle. To continue to make hemp necklaces, take the left piece and bend it across the others in a figure four shape. Next, take the right strand and lay it over top of the left strand, but to the right of the other two pieces. Be sure that this strand is under the figure four. Tighten the lefts strand with your right hand, and the right strand with your left hand. This should produce a knot just below the original one that you made. Continue to repeat this process, but be sure to always start with the strand on the left. The final section to make hemp necklaces is making the final knot. When the necklaces is as long as you want it to be, then separate the pieces into two groups of two. Make a knot in each pair about an inch below your last knot and cut off the remaining string. You can now use these knots to tie the necklace around your neck. I hope that these instructions are clear and that they help you make hemp necklaces.
