Making Hemp Jewelry Is Fun and Easy
Making our ideas come to life and creating them with our own
hands is a great source of satisfaction for many of us.
Handicrafts such as making hemp jewelry have been and continue to
be very popular among both hobbyists and would-be entrepreneurs
alike. Aside from being a productive way to pass time, making
hemp jewelry encourages creativity and is a great and inexpensive
way to have fun either by one's own self or with friends and
family.
Growing hemp is illegal in the United States because it comes
from a variety of the cannabis plant, from which the drug
marijuana is derived. Commercial hemp is the fiber used in making
hemp jewelry, and it's available in numerous arts and crafts
stores nationwide. The benefits of wearing and making hemp
jewelry are numerous: it is attractive in its uniqueness, it is
strong and durable, it can be customized in myriad ways, and it
is environmentally friendly. Fashion designers, including Calvin
Klein and Ralph Lauren, are including hemp-made accessories among
their offerings. Also, celebrities such as actor Woody Harrelson
have been vigorously endorsing fashion accessories made from hemp
(and he has had several brushes with the law because of his
ardor).
Making hemp jewelry doesn't take much getting used to. It is
similar to macrame in that involves a lot of knot-tying. The
beauty of it is you are free to experiment with various knots and
weaves to create unique and attractive patterns. You can also
accent hemp jewelry with beads of different colors and sizes.
Dyed hemp fibers are available in a wide range of colors and
textures, so it's fun to think of how to make several hemp rings,
necklaces, bracelets and anklets that will go with your everyday
outfits. Sources of inspiration abound, including numerous web
sites that specialize in hemp fashion.
Hemp jewelry has been associated with the hippie culture of
the 1960s and that's not a bad thing. It's a relic from that era
that has evolved to fit with today's fashion trends, with both
the young and not-so-young wearing it all the time. But making
hemp jewelry does not have to be confined to a certain genre or
style. What's important is the fun factor, as well as the
satisfaction experienced in a job well done.
