How to Make : A Fishbone Hemp Bracelet - DIY

*READ ME !*

This pattern looks complex and first , and being honest , it does get a bit tricky with all the strings (it's kind of confusing at first) but once you get the hang of it , it looks super cute & it pretty easy too !

Experiment with how tight or loosely you pull the strings when tying a knot . Tight gives you an oval shape , loose gives you a circle .


The bit I make in this video looks really messy , and not very good , but that's just because I was sitting VERY awkwardly . I recorded this video at night , so I had to use my desk lamp for more light . I had to put it beside me , but also kind of infront of the clipboard so there wasn't so much shadow . I had to have one arm around the lamp , (being careful not to touch it since it was hot) and the other one out awkardly , because i didnt want it blocking the camera's view .

The picture I showed at the beginning is off of Google Images , but if you do this pattern correctly , it should turn out like that .

*GO SLOWLY ! For best results , don't rush ! Take your time on making your ovals/circles PERFECT . Don't rush like I did !
*Make sure your glue is CLEAR and VERY strong . I've never tried school glue or a hot glue gun with hemp , but I have the feeling they wouldnt work very well ... But if you do try it , tell me how it goes !

If I were to make a hemp bracelet for a baby, how many inches should I take?

[EcoChic66]

measure his/her wrist the same way you would an adult

[Eleni Murphy]

howd u learn to make all of these bracelets?

[EcoChic66]

I learned the basic straight & spiral patterns at summer camp one year, but the others were either self-taught by looking at a picture or bracelet, or just from me fooling around with hemp. lol.

Great tutorial. You are so specific and detailed and I love that you explain every step of the way. One thing I do want to ask is I cut 36 inches added 7 beads and still had about 14 inches left over. Is 36 inches correct?

[EcoChic66]

Do you mean the middle one? I think I said 32 inches in the video. That way, it could go for pretty much any wrist size, & any way someone would want to end their bracelet. So I thought it was safe to put it at 32. Also, I personally like to have quite a bit of string to work with when ending my bracelet, so 32 inches gives you a few inches to work with.

what kind of hemp do you buy?

HARD

Aero by my house stopped selling surfer bracelets. It looks like it's difficult to learn how to make them. I'm order some online today.

Very nice tutorial! Thank you. :-)

[Kaley Weinhold]

This tutorial was the best one i could find! Keep up the good work!

[nashntth]

Nice tutorial. Thanks.

The glue is not necessary. I would just braid the ends and use them to secure it on my wrist. Easy and natural. No wasting materials.
