Check out 3 different ways to make your own DIY Kumihimo Disk out of foam, cardboard, or chipboard. Braiding friendship bracelets has never been so easy!
Today I'm going to show you how to make Kumihimo Beaded Bracelets. You'll remember that my August project as a Prima Bead Team Blogger was Kumihimo. I made few different designs and I'll share how to make each one. It's all in how you set up the beads on the loom. Let's get started: To begin, you may want to review how to make a Braided Kumihimo Bracelet. This tutorial does not cover each specific step like the Braided Kumihimo Bracelet does. I will just show you how to add the beads into the bracelet. When you start your bracelet, you will want to begin by making a Kumihimo braid. You will make the braid just long enough {about 1/4"} for your end cap to be glued on to. Then it's time to start adding beads. Step 1: When you pull your top right string off of the loom, slide a bead up the string. Step 2: Slide the bead all the way to the center hole in your loom. Make sure you tuck it under the {turquoise} string. Step 3: Then place your string in the next available slot to the right at the bottom of the loom. Step 4: Repeat with the left bottom string. Slide the bead up and to the center of the hole, making sure it is tucked under the turquoise string. Turn the loom and repeat the process. When you have your bracelet the length you want braid a 1/4 inch or so without beads so you can add your other end cap on. As I'm typing this up, I 'm realizing how hard it is to describe what to do. I hope the pictures help explain what I'm having a hard time explaining. If you have any questions, please ask! I am more than happy to help. Now for the fun part! I'm going to share how I got the different designs in the bracelets. For this bracelet with the gold speckles in it, I strung 6 of the strands with turquoise beads and two with gold beads. The picture below shows the two strands that I used for the gold beads. I didn't want them directly opposite each other. I think that would have made it more uniform looking rather than random. And my favorite of the two - the spiral bracelet. This was really easy. You string 4 strands with turquoise and 4 strands with gold. Place two strands of turquoise directly opposite of the other two strands of turquoise. Do likewise with the gold. Here's picture of what I'm talking about. Have you tried Kumihimo? Have you discovered how to make any cool designs? I'd love to hear about it and try my hand at different styles. Now, just in case you're wanting any of the exact supplies I used, here's the list.

After completing our flag drawings, the next activity during our flag-themed Cub Scout den meeting was to make red, white and blue yarn bracelets. We used a simple version of kumihimo, a Japanese form of braiding. Here's the finished bracelet: The finished braid could be used as a lanyard, zipper pull or keychain as well, but all the Scouts chose to make theirs into bracelets. To make this bracelet, you need: a piece of chipboard yarn (approx. 14 feet total) scissors Begin by cutting the chipboard into an octagon. It does not need to be perfect. Aim for the size of a CD so that it's comfortable in your hand. Poke a hole in the center of the octagon and cut a 1/4" slit into each side. Next, cut seven pieces of yarn, each approximately 2 feet. They can be the same color or different colors. We used three blue strands, two red strands, and 2 white strands. Tie a knot on one end connecting all the pieces of yarn. Thread the strand through the center of the octagon. Holding the octagon with the knot on the bottom, take each of the yarn strands and put them into one of the eight slots. Note that there are 7 strands and 8 slots, so you will have an empty slot. Rotate the octagon so that the empty slot is facing you. Moving counter-clockwise, count three slots and remove that piece of yarn. Put it into the empty slot. Rotate the octagon so that the empty slot is facing you again. Repeat the previous step, counting three slots counter-clockwise, then moving that piece of yarn to the empty slot. Repeat these steps over and over. It's that easy. Rotate, count, move the yarn. Rotate, count, move the yarn. As you work, the finished braid will start emerging from the bottom. When it is the length you want, simply remove each yarn piece from the slots, then pull the whole braid out from the bottom. The octagon is ready to be used again. Tie a knot at the end of the braid. Leave a 1/2" gap, then tie a second knot. Trim the excess yarn off both ends. To wear the bracelet, slip the knot through the gap between the two knots. This easy craft is great to pass the time during travel, waiting for appointments, in restaurants, or any time. Customize it with your favorite colors!
