Hemp Bracelet Pattern

Bubblegum Bead Hemp Bracelet

Make a Bubblegum Bead Bracelet

This hemp bracelet pattern is super fun and super easy.  The brightly colored beads remind me of gumballs, hence the name.

The secret to the chunky look is the thick hemp twine I used (40 lb. test).

Step 3: Repeat from * until your bracelet is long enough to go around your wrist

Step 4: Make 1 SW, 1 SK

Step 5: Make a Knot Closure. Using all 4 cords, make an OH below your last SK. The OH will be the 2nd half of your clasp (the part you slide through your loop.

Step 6: Trim the twine and dab some glue onto the knot and the cut ends (prevents fraying and keeps the knot tight). Let dry.

Working the Clasp

I love this clasp! Here's how it clasp works:

Make sure the sliding knot is pushed closed.  Slip the end loop over the closure knot to close the bracelet Slide the sliding knot up towards the closure knot. Closed tight!  To open the bracelet again, just slide the knot back again and slip the closure knot out.
