Hip Hemp, Bamboo Beads and Copper Heart Necklace

Tammy Powley
The wonderful reds and earth-tone in bamboo beads inspired this necklace strung on hemp and accented with a copper clay heart pendant. The bamboo beads also have an eclectic mix of size, shape, and patterns to them. While this piece has a distinctive feminine touch with the lace-textured copper heart pendant, remove it and you could easily turn this into a more unisex design. To make this Hip Hemp, Bamboo Beads and Copper Heart Necklace, you'll need the following:

About 1 yard of 1mm hemp
5 inches of 20lb. hemp
*25 Assorted bamboo beads
Bead board Scissors
Ruler
1 - 30mm Copper Clay Heart Pendant

*The bamboo beads came from Rings & Things item #29-919-00.
