How to Determine Hemp Necklace Length

Video Transcript

"Hi my name is Jessica and on behalf of Expert Village I'm going to be teaching you how to make a hemp necklace. Ok so you're going to need two equal length pieces of hemp for your necklace and you know depending on the size of your hemp you're going to need more or less. With this kind of very thin you going to probably need like eight or nine times the length that you want your necklace to be. So you know be aware of that and you are going to end up your going to have a lot of hemp sitting there but it's usually better to you know to, you know, cut off the excess then to be stuck with a really short necklace that doesn't fit anyone. With the medium, the most common size, you are going to need that four or five lengths worth of hemp. If your using something real thick probably three or four times it really makes quite a difference on the thickness of the hemp and how much you're going to need. So if you don't want to spend a lot of time making a necklace you might want to go with something thicker because it's not going to take as long because there's less hemp to stitch. So just kind of decide what kind of hemp you want to use how much time you want to spend and how much string you want to be working with."
