I am here to manual you step by step through the process of fashioning a beautiful hemp necklace.

You wish need the following materials: A spool of hemp Beads with large holes in them Elmers glue Actually helps to have a project board and T pins but is not mandatory

Ok, lets get started. First, you wish need to cut one 5-yard length of hemp and one 2-yard length. You wish fold these lengths in half with the 2-yard length on the inside and the 5-yard length on the outside. The reason being because the longer 5-yard cord wish be what is called the knotter cords, which wish be used to do the knots and the shorter 2-yard cord wish be what are called the carrier cords which is used as an anchor to hold the knots. The cords wish tend to be really long at 1st so you wish want to butterfly them by wrapping them in a numbers eight pattern about your fingers. Wrap them in the middle with rubber bands so they wish stay together.

You wish start by fashioning a loop at the end by attachment an overhand knot. Apply Elmer’s glue as you are attachment it. 

Now you need to line up your cords with the shorter ones on the inside and the longer ones on the outside. If you cannot get them to line up simply right you wish need to untie your knot and bind it with the cords lined up better.

You wish now start attachment your half square knots. You wish do this by 1st fashioning a loop with the cord to the far right. Bring the cord underneath the 1st two cords to the left and over the last one.

Bring the cord on your far left over the two middle cords and through the loop. 

You wish continue to do this repeatedly until you reach an inch in length, which wish be simply about 17 knots. You wish now string your 1st bead on the two middle cords. Tie the two outer cords underneath the bead and continue these steps until you have knotted 6 ½ inches.

At this point you may attach a pendent to your jewellery by stringing it onto the bottom cord. You wish continue to knot and bead for another 6 ½ inches.

You are now all but done and you wish tie another overhand knot at the end. Be sure to apply Elmer’s glue as you are attachment it. You wish have several left over length and you should cut the excess cords simply about 5 inches from the overhand knot so you have plenty of length to adjust and tie with.

You are now done and you have ready-made a great hemp necklace!
