I made a hemp bracelet, but now I need to make the knot strong. What can I do?

Question

I tried burning it, but I couldn't really tell if that worked or not...is that a good idea?

Or is there something else I can do to make the knot stronger.

Can you help me please???

Answer 1

Google Macrome Knots and you will find a lot of knots ;)))

Answer 2

Ok....I'm guessing that you've made the knot and you want to keep it from coming undone. My suggestion is go to Jo-Anns fabrics and buy some thread wax. Only apply it to the area that you want to put your final knot, and work it into the knot after you tie it.

The other option is to buy a clasp (see below) and, for each end, a coil crimp finding  (Also found at Jo-Anns) along with a package of "Jump rings" to finish it off.

Answer 3

Hemp is a natural fiber and buring it will just make it weak.  I'd suggest just tying a double knot where you want it to be strongest.

Answer 4

I'd say start out with 10 lbs weights and smoke that Hemp babay forget about that braces I bet your smile looks great already!!!!
