Slip on raku bead on, push it down to the middle, and again tie two overhand knots, one on top of the other so that your bead has knots securing it on either side.
Note: Hemp tends to be a type of stringing medium that is not always consistent in diameter, so just be prepared for this. Also as you start to string, the ends will get frayed some, so you may need to use scissors to trim off the ends now and then. I purposely wanted some large knots in between my beads because I wanted to make sure the hemp showed up, sort of like tiny fabric beads. This is why I created two knots, one on top of the other, for each knot section.
