Instructions
Step 1: Find what you need
- Gather your supplies and materials.
Step 2: Cut your hemp cords and tie them together
- Cut 3 pieces of hemp cord to each be 16 inches long.
- Line the cords up and tie them together in a knot, leaving about 2 inches of cord above the knot.Tape the cords to your working surface to keep the bracelet in place.
Step 3: Braid the cords
- Begin your bracelet by making a simple braid.Bring the left cord over the center cord. Then bring the right cord over the new center cord. Then bring the left cord over the new center cord. Continue.
- Continue braiding until the braid is just over 2 inches long.
Step 4: Add beads to the bracelet
- Add a bead onto the left cord.
- Push the bead up next to the braid and bring it to the center.Bring the right cord to the center and then the left cord, securing the bead in place.
- Add another bead and repeat this pattern, until you've added all 8 beads.
Step 5: Continue braiding
- Continue braiding for another 2 inches, or until the top and bottom sections match in length.
- Tie another knot below the bottom braided section.
Step 6: Finish off the bracelet
- Remove the tape holding the bracelet in place and tie each top cord into a knot at the end. This will stop the cords from fraying.
- Cut the cords at the bottom so that they're a bit longer than the ones at the top.
- Tie knots at the end of these cords as well.
- Your hemp bracelet is complete! Wrap it around your wrist and tie it in a double knot to keep it in place.
