Video Transcript

" Hi my name is Jessica and on be half if Expert Village I'm going to be teaching you how to make a Hemp Necklace. Okay so now I'm going to give you some tips on working with very thin hemp for make a hemp Necklace. There is definitely some differences between those and the thicker hemp. The first this is that it is going to take a lot longer to make your necklace because each stitch is so small so if you're making this for a friend and you have to have it by a certain date make sure you give your self a couple of days to do it because its not going to take just the regular two or three hours the other thing is because it's going to take so long your probably going to start and stop it more then once so you want to make sure that you know how to tell which side you left off on and how to continue your stitch so if your looking at the necklace you want to look at the know that you started with if you look at this side it's very flat. if you look at this side it kind of pokes out at you that's going to be the front of your necklace and then to determine from there your going to see which thread is going backwards and which one is going forward. Now this is a spiral stitch so your going to follow the little spiral around and this one is going back so that's the last one I did so I'm going to start with that one again because with the spiral stitch you always do the same side. So you want to just keep that in mind if you?re doing the very thin Hemp you?re going to have to start and stop it you want to know which side you left off on."
