Cowrie Hemp Bracelet
About this design:
This boho inspired bracelet is perfect for layering up with other bracelets such as gemstone stretch bracelets or metal bangles.
What you’ll need: (buy products below)
You will need 20lb natural hemp and 6 10-14x15-20mm cowrie shell slices.
Step-by-Step Instructions:
|
Step 1: 1. I used square knots in between each bead. Use your middle cord and place it over and down through the shell, then slide the shell up into place. Once you have slide the shell into place create a square knot and pull tight to hold shell taut. |
|
Step 2: Now take the middle cord and string it from underneath and pull it through the top and over. Create another square knot and this will hold it in place. |
|
Step 3: 3.Add as many square knots in between each shell. I added 3 knots in between each shell and used 6 shells. In the finished picture I used a 20 lb hemp cord. Finish it off with a clasp or slip-knot. Hemp, leather, or waxed linen look great with these shells. |
