http://www.beadaholique.com/?CAWELAID=975382778 - Beadaholique's Andrea shows us how to make a 8-warp kumihimo braid bracelet. I've been playing with this updated version of an ancient Japanese craft for a little while now, and loving it. Here I have a bracelet that I created on the standard round foam disk, using two different sizes of rattail for a spiral effect. So much fun!

  • so you just basically braided instead of knotting?

  • @mybraceletsify Yep! Kumihimo produces various types of braids, this is just one of them.

  • I love making Kumihimo braids. I do it while I am watching TV. But my big problem is how to finish them. I have so many braids that I'm made..all different colors and sizes....but haven't made anything with them yet...because I don't like the several methods I've tried to put the clasps on.

  • @NevadaSunsets Beadaholique just got in New Cord Ends & Finding Kits - Ideal For Kumihimo! Go to our new products category to check them out.

  • This is really pretty :)  I was wondering how long would it take you for one bracelet? Just curious :) thx

  • @SimplyDazzlingShoppe Thanks! That is a very good question... I think once I got the hang of it I finished the bracelet in about three or four hours, but there is always that learning curve :)

  • oooh i just bought a disc and cannot wait for it to come x

  • Yo compre ese disco hace una semana :) no es caro pero si es muy práctico y no es muy difícil de hacer... :D

  • @Beadaholique Just may have to make one :)

  • I love that you call this simple - I would have nothing but a tangled mess if I tried it, but it does look pretty!
