I love tiffany necklacesiffany & Co Necklaces is affordable at Tiffanyin.With so many Tiffany Necklaces and a wide type of Necklaces, you can pick some best Tiffany Silver tiffany earrings

There are several different ways to do closures for hemp jewelry.

  1. Tied ends (the most popular)
  2. Clasps
  3. Adjustable closures
  4. Bead and Loop

Tied Ends

The most common and most simple to do is the tie ends. This is a good closure for hemp ankle bracelets, hemp chokers and hemp necklaces. When finished with your jewelry, make and overhand knot and cut the excess hemp to about 3-4 inches which will be used to tie together for a closure. I leave at least that much so that I can test and make sure it is enough. It is easier to cut cords than to not have enough!

Using Clasps for Closure

I use clasps when the hemp necklaces has heavy or breakable beads in the design. There are several different types of clasps out there, you just need to search until you find ones that you like!

Start with Walmart , Michael’s, Hobby Lobby, and of course search the net, google is your friend.

It can be a bit tricky when trying to fasten clasps to the hemp, as it is not the same as with chain jewelry. I have found that when I have 3 or 4 pieces of hemp at the end of my piece, stringing the clasp onto one of them and then tying an overhand knot works pretty well. You can do the same for the jump ring on the other end of the jewelry piece.

The Adjustable Closure

The adjustable closure is pretty cool, and easy to do. When finished with your piece, make sure you have a lot of cord left over.

Take the leftover cord and make a wrap knot around them with a new smaller piece of cord and your done! I will put up specific instructions soon with pictures to show how it is done.

Bead and Loop

With this closure you will want to start your hemp piece by making a loop and then start to knot your jewelry. When finished you can add a bead, tie an overhand knot and your done.

Make sure that your loop is big enough for the bead to fit through but small enough so that the bead doesn’t come back out easily.

If there are any other closure types you know about let me know! These are just the 4 that I have seen or used. Thanks for coming by!

Happy Knotting
