How to Make Hemp Jewelry
Making Hemp Jewelry, a Lucrative Home Business
People who want to earn from home should definitely try out the idea of making hemp jewelry at home. I am going to explain how to make hemp jewelry from home. Let me start with simple earrings made of hemp twine.
Things Required
This list would include:
Hemp thread
Hemp twine
Beads
Earring hooks
Scissors
Tip the edges before starting your work. Always take extra lengthy knotting cords. Cut off extra long twine and use it for your next work. If you take a small cord for your work and end up in a incomplete work, adding the twine in between would give a shabby look to your jewelry. If you are trying new designs, cut extra long cords for the purpose.
To make earrings, cut two pieces of hemp twine at equal length of one foot. Then cut ten pieces of hemp threads of the same length. Now take the earring. Hook and pull one of the hemp twines and five hemp strings halfway. Follow the procedure for another earring hook too. Tie all the strings and twine with overhead knot. Hold the strings together to make a loop and pull the strings tightly through the loop. Now learn to do macrame square and half knots. The method is known as knotting cords.
How to make Hemp Jewelry – Half Knot Basics
Take the first knotting cord and keep it over the center strings and leave it under the second knotting cord. Now fold the second knotting cord below the center strings then over the knotting first cord. Tighten the knot occasionally. The half knots create spiral pattern design.
How to make Hemp Jewelry - Rudiments of Square Knot
To make a square knot, first tie the half-knot. After completing the half knot, take the second knotting cord and put it over the center strings and take it out under the knotting cord one. Take first knotting cord under the center strings and take it over the second knotting cord. Tighten it. Here you will get the square knots. According to your design preference, you can make a spiral pattern or a flat pattern. The design is exactly one inch long. Cut off the excess thread in knotting threads.
Using Beads in the Jewelry
The center strings can be used for placing the beads. Put half knot at a length that is just one inch from the tip of the earring. Half knots and square knots are the basic knots for the hemp jewelry. The two knots are helpful in making hemp bracelets, chokers, necklace and anklets. Learn it and use your creativity in decorating your hemp jewelry beautifully.
