Kumihimo Beaded Bracelet
Come create a lovely beaded bracelet with Kumihimo, the ancient Japanese art of braiding. In this class we will use a circular Kumihimo disk with eight strands of thread that we have strung beads on. We will follow a repetitive pattern to braid the threads together to create spirals of two different colors and sizes of beads. We will then attach end caps and findings to finish our stunning bracelets.
Materials/Equipment needed: Bring a quantity of 160 size 6 seed beads in a color of choice that will go with the silver beads provided by the instructor. Also bring needle nose pliers, round nose pliers, wire cutters, and scissors if you have them. Instructor will have some to share too. |
