Various Ways to Finish Hemp Necklaces

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. The next way that you're going to finish your necklace, you're done making the necklace and you want to finish it, is to tie it basically in a big knot. You have this loop around here. The perfect thing to do is to just find something that will stay in that loop. You're going to take your strings. You're going to take all of them. You're going to tie them in a knot, just a basic knot. You're going to pull it through and you're going to want to make sure that your knot is right at the end of your last stitches. Then you're going to probably tie it in another knot until you have a knot that's big enough that it's going to stay in the loop that you started at the beginning. You can see that this would probably stay in this loop for the most part. It's not going to come out of there. Let me undo that. That's another way that you can finish your necklace off. Doing this kind of knot tying method at the end is kind of different with the different kinds of hemps that you use. If you're using a really thin hemp, it's probably not going to work as good and you might want to just tie it in a basic knot and leave some strings to tie to the end. If you're using the really thick hemp it's usually a lot easier because you can make your loop at the end pretty small and just tie it one knot, and it's probably going to stay in that loop. It'll probably be big enough. It's not an ending that you want to use with every single kind of hemp necklace that you have, but it is an option for the thicker ones. "
