"Making a hemp bracelet"

The first step in making a hemp bracelet is cutting your hemp twine to the correct length. Cut two pieces of twine and make them 3 ft in length. These will be your knotting strings. Next cut one piece of thin hemp twine and make it 1.5 ft in length. This will be your center string.

To start making the hemp bracelet take the two knotting strings and tie them together using an over hand knot. Next measure out two inches and make an over hand knot using both the knotting strings and the center string.

Following the overhand knot that you just made start braiding the three strings together for two inches. Finish of the braid by tying an over hand knot.

To add beads to a hemp bracelet tie knots until you get to the place where you want to add a bead. Put a bead on the center string and slide it up against the last knot that you tied. Next tie a knot behind the bead holding it securely in place. Continue adding beads and tying knots until you reach your desired length. Finish off the macrame portion of the hemp bracelet by tying an over hand knot.

After the over hand knot start braiding until you have two inches of braid then tie off the braid with an over hand knot.

Take the two knotting strings and tie them together using an over hand knot two inches from the end of your braid.

Cut off any loose string and your hemp bracelet is done.

A hemp bracelet can also work as a hemp anklet.
