This week in the 6th grade art classroom, we made our own keychain or bracelet! Karli and Britlyn taught us the history of knotting hemp string. We had to include a minimum of three beads in our keychain or bracelet, and it had to be at least as long as our middle fingers. This was a fun lesson and I even got a bracelet out of the deal.
An extension activity could be creating a bigger project using the hemp string. In the powerpoint many ideas were given such as pot hangers, purses, and other types of jewelry!
