have you ever used braided (macrame') hemp cord for straps?

I was thinking about doing some macrame' hemp for straps with thick hemp on a shirt I made, do you think that would be too itchy, I think it would look cute, has anyone ever tried that?

much love,

Rar posted a picture back in February of a top that she made with hemp straps. http://www.hipforums.com/forums/showthread.php?t=62228&highlight=hemp+strap


Hope that helps.

 

i would personally like.. wash the hemp a couple times so its not too itchy... that would bug the beegeebees outta me...

 

thanks for mentioning me mama...


yes..they worked out great..i used button holes and beads...they were not itchy at all..i mean u were hemp around ur neck ankles and wrists..why not ur shoulders???

the shirt i made was totally a festival shirt..it was reversable...and had detachable hemp straps as well as detachable fabric straps.. i say go for it..

 

I have one that i made a lace up apron top with hemp macramed straps... The only problem with it is trying to pull them tight.. they get caught alittle.. But the itchyness desineatly disappeared

 

I made a dress with hemp straps a long while ago. I used super soft hemp, and did a little bit of a looser knot. Also, I wouldn't do a spiral knot, I think flat is prolbably best. It looks super phat though, I say go for it!

 

i have an apron top that my friend made for me that has hemp straps. they bugged me a bit at the festivals cuz they were new, but after a wash, they were niiiiice and soft.

 

I have one top that has braided hemp straps. It's halter style and seems to get itchy here and there. It might just be becuse of the style, it kinda rubs along my shoulders and collar bone, but I definitly noticed ichyness. So so cute though.

 

I love hemp straps.

 

oh awsome thank you, does it itch?
cuz I've been goin crazy making jewlery lately and it's just so itchy, I love my hemp to death but I can't wait till it's softer, I've been wearing them to bed and in the pool, lol. anyways thank for the ideas, I'll post pics when I'm done!
much love,
