Kumihimo – Walk Through the Forest & the Wire Side

Forest green beaded Kumihimo dagger necklace

A while back I posted under the title Still Kumihimo after all these years.

Well, I’m still addicted to beaded Kumihimo jewelry but trying to do new things with the process.

Jewel tones beaded Kumihimo cuff/bangle bracelet

A friend showed me how to “kumihimo” but with a rattail silk cord in the center for items using 8/0 seed beads.

It gave it a slightly firmer look without collapsing.

But what to do with 6/0 beads?

I now use large gauge wire as the core to create an adjustable cuff/bangle beaded Kumihimo bracelet for those who hate fiddling with clasps.
