I had to contact John Bead yesterday to tell them I was getting very hooked on the hemp!
Yesterday’s blog post was an introduction to the HUGE new line of hemp cords/threads in the John Bead Dazzle-It line.
For today’s project I used the red hemp which is 10lb and much thinner than what I used yesterday and 20lb gold hemp stringing material. Both colors are available in 10lb or 20lb spools.
I set up my board again. I am using a standard macrame knot.
I used some wood beads that were in my stash…I am not sure where they were from accept that perhaps I removed them from another necklace. All you need to remember is that the cord thickness will determine which beads you can use. (I don’t have many beads with a wide hole..so back to John Bead I must go.)
My knots are getting better and better! This is only my second project with hemp stringing material. It is easy to work with, holds knots beautifully and is light and airy!
Since my bracelet didn’t weigh much I opted to use magnets as a clasp! This finished it perfectly and makes it very easy to get on and off my wrist! (I used the new magnetic clasp barrel.)
