Kumihimo (pronounced coo’-me-he-moe), is an ancient Japanese method of braiding cords. Learn how to braid the cords and then integrate seed beads to create a stunning bracelet you’ll proudly wear home. Shown are two samples, but with other colors/combinations, you have a different look. The bracelet you will make will have a toggle clasp, not the types pictured. The finished product may look complicated, but making Kumihimo jewelry is easy. The tools required are a Kumihimo disk, eight plastic bobbins to hold the cords, and a Kumihimo weight.
For the bracelet itself, supplies provided are collapsible beading needle, nylon cord, two colors of size 8/0 seed beads, cones, jump rings, wire and a clasp. Bracelet kits will be supplied in a various color combinations.
Instructor will share tips and valuable information you’ll appreciate knowing, should you want to design a necklace or lariat of your own.
