What Makers Say About Hemptique Jewelry Supplies
Bracelets Crafted with Hemptique Jewelry Cords
FAQs
What do I need to start making bracelets?
To begin, you’ll need cord, scissors, beads or charms and a surface to secure your work. Hemp and waxed cotton cords are easy to knot and hold patterns well. Hemptique bracelet kits include cords and accessories so you can start crafting right away.
How do I choose the right cord diameter for bracelets?
For most bracelets, choose 1–2 mm cord.
- 1 mm waxed cotton or linen – for fine beading and detailed knots.
- 1.5–2 mm hemp or leather – for stronger or layered designs.
Thicker cords (up to 3 mm) add texture and durability.
Which cord is most comfortable for everyday wear?
Cotton and linen cords are soft and flexible, perfect for daily wear. Hemp cords soften over time and gain character, while leather cords are smooth and durable for timeless designs. All Hemptique cords are colorfast and skin-friendly.
How strong are Hemptique cords for jewelry?
Each cord is made from natural fibers known for balanced strength and flexibility. Hemp offers the most durability, while waxed cotton and linen provide controlled tension and reduced fraying. They’re suitable for both lightweight and structured bracelets.
Can I mix different cords in one bracelet?
Yes. Combine hemp for structure, cotton for color and leather or linen for contrast. Just keep diameters similar for even tension and finish knots with a square or overhand knot for a neat look.
What colors work best for bracelet making?
It depends on your style. Natural tones like beige and brown pair well with beads or charms. For vibrant looks, explore our AZO-free dyed hemp cords.
What is the benefit of waxed cord for bracelets?
Waxed cords glide smoothly through beads and knots. The soy or plant-based wax strengthens fibers, reduces fraying and adds structure without stiffness, perfect for layered bracelet patterns.
How should I care for handmade bracelets made with natural cords?
Avoid long exposure to water. Wipe leather cords with a soft cloth and store hemp, cotton or linen bracelets in a cool, dry place. Natural fibers age beautifully, softening and developing character with time.
Which cords fit through beads and charms?
Standard beads work best with 1 mm waxed cotton or linen cord. Larger beads fit easily on 1.5–2 mm hemp or leather cords. The wax finish helps cords slide through bead holes without fraying.
How do I finish a bracelet so it stays secure?
End with a square or sliding knot for adjustability. Add a tiny drop of plant-based or clear craft glue for extra hold. Waxed cords keep knots tight naturally, so clasps are optional.
Are Hemptique cords suitable for sensitive skin?
Yes. All cords are natural or genuine leather, finished with non-toxic dyes and soy wax. They’re comfortable to wear and safe even for sensitive skin.
Can I buy jewelry cords in bulk or wholesale?
Yes. Hemptique offers bulk and wholesale jewelry cords for studios, retailers and workshops. Visit our Wholesale Page or Bulk Orders Page for details and pricing.
