Kumihimo Braiding Disc Japanese

Mon, 19 Oct 2009 00:21:51 -0400

$11.99
Welcome to the world of Japanese braiding, called kumihimo. This Hamanaka 6-inch disc, which is is made of approximately 1/2 inch dense foam, is from the Japanese company making the original discs for braiding. 32 numbered slits are in the foam, making it easy to find where you are. The four compass points are marked with dots. The back side is blank for those who find the numbers and dots confusing.

At shows, many have claimed this to be bead crochet. It is so much easier and is much more simple. Use beautiful hand-dyed ribbons, use cords loaded with beads, or use a combination. Kumihimo makes absolutely wonderful braids for all sorts of items besides jewelry -- the first that comes to mind is a purse handle. Make one entirely of beads, and this simply will take your breath away. Make an entire bracelet in only a couple of hours!

Great to use sitting in carpool line, and a doctor's office, or to take with you in an airplane.

Many magazines have instructions, or you can find some on youtube. If there is a problem, contact me, and I'll send you some of mine.

Let me know if you need more than one, and I will do a special listing.

So easy! So much fun!

The color is such that it blends in almost anywhere, especially on garden bracelets or necklaces.
