Make a Hemp Bracelet with Ceramic BeadsAren't the ceramic beads on this hemp bracelet just gorgeous? They were a real bargain too - I love a good bargain, don't you? I think they cost me about two bucks for the set of them. I really hope you enjoy this tutorial. With a little practice, you can easily make this bracelet in less than an hour!
Step 1: Measure around your wrist (or the wrist of the person you are making the bracelet for) using a measuring tape. We'll call this your WM (wrist measurement).
Step 2: Cut two 6 foot lengths of twine. Step 3: Fold the cords in half. Make an OH to form a 2 strand loop just big enough for your Step 4 : Make 2 SK's. Step 5 : Thread a ceramic bead onto your filler cords. (See the picture on the right). Step 6 : Make 2 SK's, then thread another bead onto your fillers. Continue alternating 2 SK's and beads until the bracelet is your WM long. Measure only from the OH knot on the loop, not the end of the loop. End with 2 SK's.
Step 7: Make one more SK, then thread one more bead onto your fillers. This bead will slide through the loop closure.
Step 9 (optional): Try tying some leaf charms onto the ends of your twine before cutting off the excess. I had some leaf charms that already had wire loops on them so the twine passed easily through the loops. Tie each charm using a simple OH, then cut off the excess. Dab a bit of glue on each knot for safety and let dry. Note: Adding charms onto the bead closure will make it harder to take the bracelet on and off because the charms have to pass through the loop too. The Finished Bracelet!
