How to Make a Hemp Necklace

 
how to make a hemp necklace Today I am sharing how to make a hemp necklace complete with step-by-step instructions!
This is the Hemp Necklace tutorial that I promised a while back.  
It’s really easy, something that kids can learn quite quickly too. This would be a great craft for summer CAMP!  So here we go…

You will need a roll of hemp and some cool beads.  Pony beads work great for these necklaces or you can  create your own Super Hero Beads or enter my GIVEAWAY (closed) to win some even!

How to make a hemp necklace:

          Super Hero Hemp Necklace ~ TutorialStart by measuring how long you want your necklace to be.  I measure around my neck and add a few inches.  For me this measurement was 22 inches. You need two strands of hemp 1 1/2 times your desired length.  For example I cut a piece of hemp 66 inches long and folded in half so that each strand was 33 inches long.  Next you need two more stands of hemp about 4 times as long as your desired length.  For example I cut a piece of hemp 176 inches long and folded it in half so that each stand was 88 inches long.  Make sense?  What you don’t want to have happen is to run out of hemp half way through your project, so be generous.Super Hero Hemp Necklace ~ Tutorial  Tie a knot where you folded each piece of hemp in half.  So you have a loop at one end and four stands {two short and two long} at the other.Super Hero Hemp Necklace ~ Tutorial Now for the knot.
The two short pieces of hemp always stay straight down the middle.
Start with the long pieces on the outside and remember this little ditty that my grandma taught me, “over, over, under, through”.
Put the long piece on the right side over the two short pieces in the middle.

Super Hero Hemp Necklace ~ TutorialStill using the left piece of hemp, pull it through the loop that the right piece had created.  Pull each of the long pieces to tighten the stitch.

To create a flat stitch {like the Batman necklace}, alternate starting sides.  Start from the right and on the next stitch, start from the left.  To create a spiral look {like the Ironman Necklace}, do not alternate starting sides.  Always start your stitch on the right.

Over, over, under, through.
