I didn’t have Fray Away glue and I really wanted to try my hand at a beaded kumihimo bracelet. So as a crafter with about 20 different kinds of glue, I chose a couple types to try to keep the fray away. What dried clear and stiff and worked perfectly was Aleene’s Clear Gel Tacky Glue. It’s inexpensive and available at craft stores and Walmart. Thanks for a great technique video. It’s clear and easy to understand.

This was such a wonderfully clear and instructive video. I practiced the tutorial with embroidery floss and some small seed beads and it came out really nice! I look forward to actually creating the full bracelet from cord with larger seed beads and practicing adding the clasps! This is such a meditative style of weaving and has some lovely results without being incredibly complicated.

It's intriguing to see you rotate your disk the opposite way to most Kumihimo demonstrators. Nothing wrong with that, except that I would tend to follow by rotating my disk in the anti clockwise direction so that I'm working to my right (my being right handed) but I suppose the end result is basically the same except for the opposite spin on the spiral.
Perfect for Halloween
Good video.

Rose, I love your tutuorials AND I love how simply you explain every step! I'm new to making jewelry and kumihimo as well, and am enjoying learning these from you! ONE QUESTION: How do you know what size and thickness of jump rings to use on a project? Thanks in advance!
@FireMountainGems
5 жыл бұрын
Hi Cindy. We're glad you enjoy watching Rose and her tutorials. The size of jump ring is really personal preference. One thing to be sure of though is that what the jump ring is fitting into is smaller than the inside diameter of your jump ring. We list the inside diameter of the jump rings we carry on our website so that's always easy to reference.

Glad to learn about Fray Lock, but -- I would question using your fingers to apply it. The skin absorbs whatever is on it, and I doubt the chemicals in FrayLock are something you would want in your blookstream.

Wow, this is lovely, and I love those leaf charms, too! Great way to incorporate the head pin/wire loop ends! Can you please clarify how the beaded strands are placed around the disk, to get the ombre effect as shown? For example, are they placed (according to the chart) in sequence around the circumference, or are they placed in up-down pairs (like 1/4/4/4/9 up, 2/4/4/4/8 down, 3/4/4/4/7 up, 4/4/4/4/6 down), or some other sequence? Thanks in advance!
@FireMountainGems

The ombre effect has nothing to do with the placement of the cords. The ombre comes from the bead choices on the strands. Here is a chart to show how many of each bead on each strand: fmg.co/HlWgeM Once you have the correct colors of beads on each strand just place the strands for a traditional 8 strand spiral Kumihimo. Any strand can go in any slot as long as there are two strands at each of the quadrants. 2 up, 2 down, 2 left, and 2 right.
Wow👍
Thank you for sharing! I was just thinking about better ways of ending a Kumihimo and your way is by far the best I’ve seen, so thank you thank you!!! So does way of ending hold up the ends together fairly secure? And how about when you use a magnetic clasp? Last think, I love that peacock pattern bracelet you have on, pattern available?

Hi Joselyn. This method holds up very well if the bracelet is taken care of both on and off. We've asked Rose about her bracelet she was wearing and there's no pattern. She just made it as she went and it turned out that way.
