Hemptique’s Face Mask Lanyard Design
Made with Hemptique’s Natural Hemp Cord


Never loose or forget your mask, keep your mask clean and in place with a DIY hemp cord lanyard! This easy project is a great way to manage where to put your mask when you need to take it off. Instead of leaving it somewhere or shoving it into a pocket, this macramé lanyard will allow you to let your mask simply hang around your neck. We created this neck strap with our natural and eco-friendly hemp twine.


Materials Needed:

  • #48 Hemp cord in 3 different colors
    •
  • We used the colors: Mustard, Sunset Coral, and Natural
    •
  • 2 lobster claw keychains
    •
  • Scissors
  • 100% Hemp Mask (optional)

    • Instructions:

    • Measure and cut 2 hemp cords 10 feet long, and 2 hemp cords 20 inches long.
      • Note: Use different colors for the 10 feet cords for the best look.
    • Fold one 10 ft. cord in half and attach it to the keychain with a reverse lark’s head knot. Repeat with the other 10 ft. hemp cord.


    • Directly below the reverse lark’s head knots, use one 20 inch cord to tie a gathering knot.
      • Use a tapestry needle to push any visible ends back under the gathering knot after cutting off the ends.
    • Separate the cords into two sections of two by color.


    • Starting with the group on the left, tie one half hitch knot around the group on the right. Now make a half hitch knot starting from the right side and tie it around the group on the left.
    • Keep repeating these alternating half hitch knots until your lanyard has reached the desired length.
      • Our lanyard is 28 inches long.


    • Once you have reached the desired length, pull all four cords through the 2nd keychain. Fold these cords upwards until there is about 1/2 inch of space between the last half hitch knot and the keychain.


    • Use the other 20 inch cord to secure the 2nd keychain into place with another gathering knot.
      • Slide the gathering knot into place as needed. You want this knot to rest against the last half hitch knot and against the keychain without any extra space.
      • You can pull each individual cord through the gathering knot to help position the knot, and to help smooth the cords out.


    • Trim off any ends and use a tapestry needle to push any visible cord back under the gathering knot.


    Your face mask lanyard is now complete. Happy crafting from Hemptique!
