Prior to understanding how to make hemp bracelets, it is essential to know how to prepare the hemp. 

  • Purchase Hemp Twine from Amazon.  For making bracelets 1mm thick natural color hemp is advisable. 
  • After learning the technique of putting the various types of knots try different colors and thickness of hemp.
  • Measure the size of any old bracelet and take six times the length of that measurement.
  • Take the second strand, which is twice the length of the first strand.

    • Fold both the strands at the midpoint and put the knot leaving ½ to ¾ inch long from the end. 

How to Make Hemp Bracelets

  • As the knot is new, it may tend to get released, so put something heavy on the top of it.
  • Among the four strands, arrange the strands in such a way where both the longer twines come in the corner and the shorter twines come in the middle.
  • To start with the first knot, take the right hand side outer strand and pull it 45 degree away from the middle strands.  The right hand side outer strand should move on top of the middle strands and pass through under the other long strand.  Here it would look like number 4.
  • Hold tightly with your finger the number 4, take out the left outer strand and pass it through under the middle strands then lift through the figure 4.  Now tighten the outer strands.
  • Now start the procedure with the left outer knot.
  • Alternate the number 4 on both the sides of the bracelet.  You can also make a spiral bracelet by knotting continuously on the same side.
  • Take dark color bead and pass it through the middle two strands and make the figure 4 surrounding the beads.  Make at least 2-3 knots and then add one same color or different color bead. 

Give the Finishing Touch

  • Continue the process of knotting and adding beads to the bracelet till you get the required length. 
  • Tie all the four strands together and complete the bracelet.
  • Wear the bracelet around your wrist and tie all the four strands and put a loop at both the ends of the bracelet.  Loose ends are to be trimmed carefully.
