When I was at a ratdog concert recently I saw lots of people walking around wearing huge phatty hemp necklaces with hemp-caged crystals. One guy even had a knotted pouch for his lighter hanging form his necklace. How do I do this?
oh i bought one of the lighter ones about 9 years ago. made a huge mushroom fabric cover for our bong(back then) and attached this hemp lighter pouch to it. was very convenient indeed. sorry, don't know how to do it though
no, i dont unfortunately. it was with my ex, Jamie, and well I moved home so didnt take it back to my folks with me. and well, now Jamie resides under a tombstone so I can't get it any longer. sorry
I think I know what you mean, I made these long ago, depending on what I was wraping (usually a crystal or stone), it was like making a little net. You have to work with it to make the what every your wraping fit and stay.
I have seen crocheted lighter holders. My friend Misha makes them. as well as film can holders. You could try searcning for hemp yarn to use for them. As far as macrame goes I made a little purse using several strands knotted at the bottom then used the square knot to create a net. You could do the same for a lighter. TTFN, Kate
this sounds pretty awesome. if anyone ever does find a picture or figures out how to do it, totally send it my way.
I have one I made, I'm wearing it in this pic. Depending on the size of the crystal, take 8,12,or 16 strands of hemp, or any numeral of 4 to make a square knot, just alternate strands into each other,from the knot next to the one you're working on... It's kinda hard to explain..hope this helps a little at least!
Paix is an expert at this and you could probly work something out with her she is a kynd sister. She made me one that had a phatty rose quartz in it. It was a great, until the baby was chewing on it and he actually chewed the hemp apart, but that was because he was teething and not a design flaw.
thanks weepingoak Kitty, I can for sure either make you one or show you how, it's super easy, and I know a couple different ways to do it too. PM me and I'll be more than happy to help you out :0)
Bump for the info on how to make these!!! I live in PA he lives in OR and well we need to get together soon,and I wanted to make him one of these to bridge the gap...ya know what I mean? Anyway I have the crystals,I just need the friggin pattern or instructions to do this...I just can't figure it out... Help Please? TIA
There's a pretty cool cat in the downtown Austin area that makes the caged crystals. My best friend Chris bought one and I regret not having done so. I haven't seen the man who makes them since... I'd like to know how. Maybe I'll just tinker with some knots until I figure it out.
