Knotted Hemp Bracelet

• 1). Cut four lengths of hemp twine each 3 feet long. Allow children to choose which colors they would like to use.
  
  
• 2). Make a knot at one end of the twine.
  
  
• 3). Tape the knotted end to a flat working surface for more stability.
  
  
• 4). Grab two pieces of hemp in the left hand and two with the right hand.
  
  
• 5). Knot the pieces together using a simple knot.
  
  
• 6). Repeat Step 5, knotting the strings together repeatedly.
  
  
• 7). Add optional beads at any point of the knotting by sliding a bead over two pieces of twine. When the bead is in place, knot all four pieces of twine as usual and continue knotting again.
  
  
• 8). Finish when the knotted bracelet is slightly bigger than the child's wrist. Cut the excess hemp twine and secure the bracelet around her wrist by tying both ends together in a knot.
