Hemp Jewelry Making
Hemp jewelry is groovy and fashionable, simple to learn, and the materials are pretty affordable, even for starving students. You can tote your work around with you, and talk about speedy! You can often create something from start to finish in less than an hour!
What Materials Do I Need?
All you need for is hemp twine, maybe some glass, ceramic, or wooden beads with large holes, two hands, and you're golden!
Hemp twine is available in balls and sometimes small colored skeins in any craft store.
