First Attempt at Hemp Bracelets

One thing I really wanted to work with was hemp. I wanted to learn how to make some really cute hemp jewelry. I bought a spool of hemp cord without knowing what I was getting or what I needed. I just saw it and grabbed it. Once I began searching for various ways to make jewelry with hemp, I realized that what I got was too big. I did get some practice done with it and these are my first few attempts


My first attempt adding beads, but could only used wide mouth beads.


With a little practice and smaller hemp cord.

I recently got some purple hemp and am excited about playing around with it to see what I can come up with! Soon enough, I will have some of my hemp bracelets and necklaces up in our etsy store!

  1. Wow that looks pretty good for a first attempt, certainly better than I think I could do! Of course I'm about as crafty as, well, I don't know, something that isn't very crafty. I like the way the beads are set in, that looks particularly difficult. What is the silver one?
