How to make a hemp necklace

Have you ever thought about making your own hemp necklace but thought it would probably just be too difficult or take too much time? Well have no fear! I am Doris Rose, owner of www.exoticprinc essdesigns.com I am here to guide you step by step through the process of making a beautiful hemp necklace.

You will need the following materials:

• A spool of hemp
• Beads with large holes in them
• Elmers glue
• Really helps to have a project board and T pins but is not mandatory
Ok, lets get started. First, you will need to cut one 5-yard length of hemp and one 2-yard length. You will fold these lengths in half with the 2-yard length on the inside and the 5-yard length on the outside. The reason being because the longer 5-yard cord will be what is called the knotter cords, which will be used to make the knots and the shorter 2-yard cord will be what are called the carrier cords which is used as an anchor to hold the knots. The cords will tend to be very long at first so you will want to butterfly them by wrapping them in a figure eight pattern around your fingers. Wrap them in the middle with rubber bands so they will stay together.
 
You will start by making a loop at the end by tying an overhand knot. Apply Elmer
