Over the last several weeks I have been really into making hemp bracelets! I have made a bunch for nieces, my sis, my little girlies and myself! They are super easy once you get the hang of it and super cute! I love them stacked like the ones I did for my Indee pictured below!
1. Use the softest hemp you can find. It is a lot easier to work with than the wirey stuff! I found mine at JoAnns!
2. If you are doing the beaded version, make sure the beads you buy have a large enough hole running through them, otherwise you won't be able to string them on the hemp!
3. If possible use a clipboard to secure your hemp before starting. I like the portability of it. It's always nice to sit on the couch watching a good movie and being productive at the same time!! Multitasking anyone??
4. If you don't have a clipboard, no worries. Just make sure you have strong enough tape to secure your hemp to the counter.
Disclaimer: I decided that doing a "how to" video would be easier than trying to take clear pictures of every single step, plus describe those steps in writing! Yikes! It was just me, my flip and a tripod, so I sincerely apologize for the meager video skill! Also, if you do in fact decide to watch this video, I'm sorry you have to hear my man voice{seriously hate how I sound on video}, but what's a girl to do right?!;)
Watch & learn here!

So cute Kara! Maddie will love to make these I'm sure!!! Thanks for the cute idea....and you don't have a man voice :)
Thank you Kara - that was so helpful! You did a great job on the toot, although I didn't hear anything that sounded remotely manly. :) I'm excited to make some bracelets!
