Hemp Jewelry

I decided to do a post about hemp jewelry because there are so many different styles and patterns you can make and its something a little different than my previous posts. I love making help jewelry, mostly because of the cool beads you can use for them. Also there are different sizes and colour of hemp so you can make anything that suits your style. Right now I have the regular earth tones of hemp. But I also have purple, gold, blue and pink. The different colours look really cool when paired with wood beads just as the tanned hemp looks sweet with coloured glass beads. One more thing is that you can use a pendant for the centre piece if you want to make a necklace, there's a lot of sweet ones out there. But then again everyone likes something different.

I find the best beads from general stores in small towns believe it or not. But art and craft stores definitely have a great selection for beads to use, also online is a good place to look. But for beginners you can get everything you need from Wal-Mart.
