Raku Bead & Hemp Necklace

Tie an overhand knot to secure the hemp onto the shank, making sure to push the knot up fairly close to the shank.

Make another overhand knot just past this one (not one on top of the other this time).

Now take the tail and the working hemp cord, and make a simple square knot. Keep making square knots down the hemp until you have only a little bit of hemp tail left.

Use scissors to trim off this tail of hemp.

You are now down with one side of the toggle clasp.
