Hemp Stinks!

 I'm on a bit of a crafting roll, or maybe it's a blogging roll! Today I made a belt. I wanted to replace one that came with a skirt that I bought. It was falling apart, so I got some hemp. I didn't know natural hemp has a stinky smell to it. I mean, it's not that bad, but it's noticeable. I do like how it turned out. I think it's cute. Anyone know how to get rid of the smell?

 Here are some kufi cap style hats that I made a while ago. The green one was requested by a friend.
