Everything you wanted to know about making hemp jewelry in this free arts and crafts video series taught by a pottery making expert .

Series Summary

First off, for all of you giggling stoners in the audience, this video series is NOT about smokable pendants or covert earrings you can spark up in time of need. Such ludicrous technology is best left to jam-band advocates and Dutch engineers. Of course, people of your ilk already accessorize whether you know it or not, what with the bloodshot eyes, the pink slips from your jobs, and the albatross around your neck when you just can’t seem to shake that repulsive habit. Indeed, think again O slave to the spliff, O toady of the toke, O burnout of the begrimed bong, for Cannabis not only refers to the foul and disreputable Indica, but to his much more useful and respected brother Sativa, who also goes by the name of Hemp. And it is the steadfastness and reliability of Hemp, which matches and even exceeds that of less storied threads, that we now turn to in order to bind together these delightful bracelet projects.

From amongst our village of experts, we have chosen sewing master Karen Weisman to demonstrate three different styles of beaded hemp bracelets. She talks you through each step in the creation of square and spiral knots as well as a combination of both. By following along with these clips, viewers will soon be able to create their very own hemp masterpiece.

And if you, O productive convert of Sativa, just happen to feel generous toward those indolent Indicans—who can’t seem to accomplish anything but coughing and eating when left to their own dim devices—why not make a gift of one of your proud new Hemp bracelets. But be sure to remind them not to wear it, not smoke it.
