Introduction: Basics of Making a Hemp Bracelet or Necklace
The basics of hemp bracelets.
Step 1: Materials: Hemp
Oviously the one thing you HAVE to have to make hemp jewelry is HEMP! There are a couple different kinds.
There are three basic sizes: thin, medium, and thick. Hemp comes in it's natural color. But it also comes in dyed colors. Almost any color imaginable. At walmart they have natural hemp and a few different colors but if you really want cool colors you'll need to go to a local craft store.
Step 2: Materials: Beads
Beads are optional. You can get any kind you want as long as the hole is big enough for atleast one string. Walmart has a big selection but if u want A LOT of coices go to hobby lobby or Micheals. Also I'm sure any craft store will have them. You can also use pendants and charms.
Step 3: Materials: Common Sense Objects
Oviously you'd need scissors. You may also need a yard stick or tape measure. You can use tape to secure your project to a hard surface or use a saftey pin and pin it to a pillow

This is a great Instructable, but you need to add a main image of the final project to the intro step. Please do that and leave me a message when you have so that we can publish your work. Thanks!

If you can you should take a higher quality picture so it's easier to see.

I've done that before. Cut and article up because certain parts repeated then linked to it when relevant.

It's okay I don't think you're being nasty.
It was just supposed to show the basics of starting hemp jewelry. Then I was gunna do instructables on the other knots and projects and stuff and this was just so I didn't have to explain it every time again. I just never got around to it... lol :)

Ok...so is there any point to this instructible other than for gathering materials. Have i only seen it at the stage where it is half finished, or half the material removed? I don't understand why...
