Kumihimo Beaded Braids - Mastering the Beadspinner

How to use a bead spinner for making beaded braids.

[@tamieh4599]

This is the first time it actually worked! Thank goodness for your video, you saved the bead spinners life

[@danceswithaardvarks3284]

Thanks for sharing your knowledge. One of these is the second thing I have made on my lathe. With a needle made out of a safety pin and some cheap plastic craft bead I was soon hooking beads, but mostly shooting them around my workbench. After watching your video I'm able to hook beads enough of the time to know i've made something that works, so thanks. I'm bearing in mind your other tips too, as i made this one after only seeing them in KZbin videos.

Thank you for such a great tutorial. Are you a school teacher? Your instructions are perfect. I love your invention too. Going to have to purchase the inner cups.

[@oldasa]

Sold, Thank you for convincing me that I bought the right spinner. Now I've got to go get some of those inserts. LOL Your going to be jealous when you see what I accomplish with this thing. LOL

I threw mine away. I totally didn't know how to use it and it was by beadalon, but didn't come with any directions so I had no idea what needles to get or anything. I found it to be old fashioned. I bought a new spinner with 2 power sources. Batteries and usb, came with needles & very quiet motor

[@Willow22nd]

Thank you for this information

[@juliebergacker5680]

[@hifazatali6367]

Wow nice 👏 👌 👍 😍

[@leftrightpro]

Thank you for the video! I am using bugle beads to make 12" long beaded fringe strands for costumes. What needle would you recommend? Thanks, Anthony

[@trinacarreon9775]

Great video. What type of thread are you using?

[@glorieanne2044]

I’ve gotten the beads to go on the needle but I can’t get them down the elastic! I use thread from the curved bead needle and then when the elastic is doubled it’s so hard to pull 6/0 beads over. I’m using the smallest elastic I can find .8mm. But gently putting the needle in almost at the surface helped me

When I went to your web site, the link to the pdf for the bead spinner goes to this: Braid Length & Design Tips

[@raegeenah5631]

Great video.. Thanks.. What size string are you using?

[@quay-o-lay08]

💚

[@dorothyferris9304]

How would you load a 24 gauge wire for French beading?

[@glittergirlglory4320]

Smart idea does that keep the beads from flying

[@donna7236]

Hi can you use this for silver beads to thread on stretch cord? Or is there anything else out there that will? Thanks

[@user-ps2fd3ts8i]

Do you have to put the string and tie it

[@KalektiveFlairDesigns]

where on the website is this pdf avail? how do I find this on the site?

[@kawhite9796]

The pdf you mention is not in the site... can you fix that?

[@stonesmostprecious]

What’s a Mara die?

[@rojeaniafuscaldo3239]

Can I use 4mm Fire Polished for Kumihimo ?

[@agkumihimo]

Absolutely, but you may not be able to use them in the bead spinner.

[@glittergirlglory4320]

The beads want to come to life and run and fly away from you

I don’t know why I have very bad temper when ppl talk too much in the video. Bye

[@aimsays]

I’m the same way but she was very thorough in explaining everything for those who are having a difficult time learning how to use the bead spinner. I will speed up the playback time to 1.25 or even 1.50 whenever there’s too much talking about anything but the subject. Or just very slow talking in general.
