Hi! My name is Jessica and on behalf of Expert Village, I'm going to be teaching you how
to make a hemp necklace. Now, if you just want to do like one bead right in the middle,
that's usually pretty easy to determine. You're just going to determine the length from the
end of your necklace, put it on the back of your neck, see how far it is to the middle
of your neck, and that's where you'll put your bead. If you're using a long bead like
this, it might be a little bit more difficult to do that. You want to kind of compensate
for the length of the bead. If it's over here, it's going to look a little bit odd. You have
to make sure that it's going to be right in the center. Then the final tip, as I've been
saying throughout this video, is that you want to make sure you have beads with big
enough holes to fit your hemp through. Sometimes you'll pick some beads out that probably are
big enough, but you're maybe having some trouble getting them through the hole. I'm just going
to show you some tips for that. Basically, say this is too big to get in here. It's not,
but say it was. You can take your scissors and cut the end of your strings on an angle
like that so it'll poke through. Once you have both your strings through the bead, it's
usually pretty easy to get them all the way through. It's kind of just getting them both
in the hole at once. That can be kind of difficult. Cutting at an angle is going to really help.
That's just another tip for if you're trying to put your beads on your hemp necklace.
