Making your own hemp bracelets is easy and can add style to any outfit, or be given as a thoughtful gift to a friend. Show off your crafting skills and save a few bucks by trying one of these methods for making a macramé, spiral, or beaded hemp bracelet. These simple pieces of hemp jewelry are quick and easy to make with just a few basic supplies.
Method 1 of 3:
Cut your hemp into 2 lengths and tie them together. Cut 2 long pieces of hemp about 5 feet (1.5 m) long. Match the ends up and fold both pieces in half. Tie a knot at the fold.
Attach one end to an anchor with tape or a pin. It helps to tape the loop left from the knot onto a table or safety pin to a chair or the knee of your jeans. This will give you some leverage as you create the pattern of knots in the bracelet.
Separate the strands. You should have 4 strands of hemp. For this type of knot, the 2 center strands will remain together, while the outer strands will be moving around.
