In last week’s Friday Findings video I showed you the basics of kumihimo braiding. This week I show you how to add beads to your braided cords.

This necklace was made with seed beads of different sizes.

This ombré kumihimo bracelet is an example of what you can do with larger beads.

And this piece was done with lucite flowers and leaves. It was tricky to keep the tension even in this one.

I definitely recommend you start with seed beads when you first try beaded kumihimo. Then work up to larger beads and different shapes.

To get started in kumihimo braiding you will need:

• Kumihimo Braiding Disk
• Large Kumihimo Bobbins
• S-Lon Cord (for when you add beads)

I’d love to see any kumihimo braiding/beading you try!

Enjoy the video and happy creating. 🙂
