Starting a Hemp Bracelet by: Christine ~how-to-make-jewelry
There are lots of different ways to start a bracelet. First decide how you want the bracelet to close. With a button or a bead? If so, you can start yours the same way this one here is started.
If you just want to tie a knot to attach the bracelet to your wrist, then just make lark's head knots onto a pencil and start it that way. To tie it, you just need to pull the pencil out and tie the other end to the loop left where the pencil was.
The switch knot is a decorative lacy macrame/ hemp jewelry knot that helps you save on twine too. This tutorial shows you how to tie one with clear pictures and instructions.
A sliding knot is a wonderfully easy way to end off a leather, string, hemp, or corded necklace or bracelet. It looks neat and stylish, is a very practical closure, and is very easy to make.
