Lotus with Spiraled Hemp Necklace
Project details:
I thought it was fitting to pair the natural walnut wood focal with hemp. This is a simple statement necklace for everyday wear. The half hitch spiral knot is a basic macrame knot. It's an easy knot to create, just follow my step-by-step instructions.
Supplies you’ll need:
You will need 1 walnut wood lotus focal, natural hemp, a lobster clasp, and 2 fold over cord ends. I showed two different clasps in step 1 image, but I think the fold over clasp will work best.
Step-by-Step Instructions:
Step 1
I cut 45 inches of hemp and folded it in half. I added an overhand just below the loop. Clip the loop onto a clipboard to keep your cord taut. Cross the right working strand under the left.
Step 2
Take the right working strand up and over the left.
Step 3
Then pull taut.
Step 4
Repeat steps 1-3 until you are half way.
Step 5
At the half way point string your lotus focal on, then continue your knotting technique until the end.
Step 6
When you have reached the length you wanted attach your fold over clasp. I recommend using a touch of glue for added durability.
