Macramè

I have always wanted to learn how to make "hemp bracelets," and on Tuesday, I was able to learn how to make them! I was so excited! (Still am)
These "hemp bracelets" are actually a craft called macrame, it was huge in the 70's and is super hippie. I love it, seriously. I was approached last night at work by my executive chef, Jay, to make a bracelet using his plugs from his previously gauged ears. He handmade these gauges and recently got surgery to close them up for professional reasons. He wanted alternative jewelry made out of them, these are pretty rough, but I am getting better. I always had these braided bracelets and anklets in high school and now I know how to make my own. Wooooo! Have I mentioned that I LOVE school?!
