Description
Now your children can make their own ‘friendship bracelets’ with our NEW Kumihimo braiding kits! This craft is a form of Japanese braiding using various types of stringing material, often combined with beads to make exceptional jewellery. The term Kumihimo in Japanese means the gathering of threads.
The technique involves using different types of looms to achieve different types of braids. The possibilities are endless and can be customized to suit everybody.
When doing Kumihimo you will learn that using a different number of strands, as well as different colours will change the overall look. Different types of stringing material can also change the look, as well as adding beads to all or some of the strands. Keep in mind that you may not want to use a stringing material that stretches.
In Kumihimo, each thread in one single “slit” is referred to as a warp. A good rule of thumb when measuring stringing material is to multiply the length you want by three. This will accommodate most designs unless you are using larger beads, in which case you may need to adjust the length.
