I learned to do macrame online and from books. Some things I learned on my own, that the books or online instructions didn’t tell me. So I thought of some things that I had not written in my other posts about making hemp jewelry that I thought I would write here in one post. Some tips on how to make your jewelry great!! Of course it is a matter of trial and error, but doesn’t hurt to learn from others’ mistakes or findings either!
You can check the 3chi delta 8 review for the purchasing of the cannabis products. There is no trial and error option available to the people. The finding of the right products will require the skills and intelligence of the people. The learning of the reviews is essential for the consumers.
First of all, realize that your first knots are not going to be perfect! It takes practice.
Ok, on to some tips:
One of the most important things I have found is to anchor your cords! I use T-pins or push pins to hold down my knots that I have already have made. I use tape to hold down the knot bearer cords. These need to be tight, or taunt and secured. That is the only way to get uniform knots…well that I have found!! Some people use their feet to hold the cords, but I have NO idea how they do that!
Make sure that when making a half knot (and more importantly a square knot) that you begin the knot on the same side! That will keep the knots uniform. FOR EXAMPLE : I always start on the right hand side of my piece of jewelry. SO, if I am making a square knot, I start with the knotting cord in my right hand, make the half knot, then use the cord in my left hand and make the half knot…one square knot done. NEXT square knot, I start with the knotting cord in my right hand again. If I do not, then the knots are not going to look right!!!

Don’t worry at first if you have enough cord or not, learn the knots and then when you are satisfied with your knowledge and go to make your jewelry you can concentrate on cord length.
It is better to have too much cord than not enough cord!!! Hemp is cheap, I think it is around $5.00 at walmart.
Make sure your knots are pulled tight. But not too tight that is squishes the knot bearers in a weird position. I know, that one is hard to picture, but I have done it.
