Making hemp-type jewelry cord

Make your own hemp-like jewelry cord from dead plant fibres. Ok, I know someone else posted a similar topic, but my process is different and I focus more on using this cord for making jewelry or weaving so you can scoff at all the silly hippies that buy that expensive hemp cord at corporate craft stores. So I'm a little bit sycophantic, so what? This is also my first instructable. please read the note on the pic before you start.

Step 1 Soakin'

Actually, it is the process of twisting and crossing over that makes ALL rope so strong. Although hemp is admittedly the toughest(ok, it's cheap,too, but this more fun)this cord and cord made of other stuff will not break easily at all.

hemp is one of the strongest known fibers for making rope and string, thus why it was and still is used on sailing vessels, a lot has been replaced by wire cables but still.. this would break if you got it caught on something. Also hippie hemp cord is cheap as hell...
