Joining bracelet ends should be done carefully to ensure that the bracelet cannot come loose. Rather than tie the ends of a hemp bracelet together, you can form coils of wire on each end and hook the coils together. This requires a few basic household tools and that the hemp bracelet is completed before attaching the clasp.

Cut a 4-inch-long section of wire. Bend it in half and push the two sides close together. Bend the loops together approximately a half-inch to 3/4 inch away from the main bend.
