Basics to Kumihimo - 8 Cord Spiral With Beads

[@leenakoivuniemi1129]

Hey, Thanks for this nice Kumihimo video. I'm waiting my disk.. But how did you do your Peacock bracelet? It is gorgeous! I would like to learn to do that too!!

She speaks exactly like the lady from Nail Career Education it's so motivating and makes it easy to understand the instructions i wish my teachers had been like this

[@YellowRavenInk]

Who is this lady?! She is fantastic! Funny! And everything is so organized and neatly explained!

[@FireMountainGems]

Isn't she awesome!! It's Rose, she is one of our in-house jewelry designers. Glad you enjoyed watching!!

I just made this with 4mm coloured jade beads, and it turned out beautifully. Thank you for your clear instructions.

[@FireMountainGems]

So glad we could help! Thanks for watching! 😊

[@firecrackerberry7833]

Thank you so much for a refresh of how to do this with beads. I love the lady, she's sweet and patience x

[@FireMountainGems]

Thank you and we'll be sure to let Rose know that you enjoyed her video!

[@Danniedorito]

Thank you ❤ i am learning and your video has made me feel confident enough to try without beads so I'm setting up my loom for the first time. Please make more kumihimo tutorials with Rose. I like her voice and I enjoy her style of teaching

[@FireMountainGems]

So glad to hear that! Thanks for watching. We love Rose too, but she retired a couple months ago, but here's a link to our Kumihimo playlist. kzbin.info/aero/PLCCNqW5ElcgfA3ptfkaFHLGoZiSk5hmpz&feature=shared

[@marlenealberty373]

Rose, I am just watching your video so it has been many years since you posted this. I want to thank you so much because even though I have been making Kumihimo bracelets and necklaces for several years I learned so many things from this video that I have been doing the hard way. Hope all is well and I will check further for other videos you may have posted.

[@FireMountainGems]

Glad it was helpful!

[@patriciachuchryk3299]

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.

[@FireMountainGems]

You're so welcome Patricia. Thanks for adding in a great tip to our comments and for watching!!

[@melissalaughlin9118]

[@ruthiepfueller9337]

I’ve watched several videos as I want to start making these. Your explanation of placement of bead in the quadrant is the clearest I’ve seen. I zoomed in on that part to see better. Thank you very much for this video!

[@edamamame4U]

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.

Thank you for this video! I love Kumihimo jewelry and have tried making bracelets with the beads, but they never ended up correctly. After watching this video I now see what I was doing wrong. Thank you again,

[@FireMountainGems]

You are so welcome! We're glad to hear that!

[@petermann1150]

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.

[@delakoi]

Thanks! You're a gem!

Hi Lisa. You can increase the chain at the ends of the bracelet that is made with jump rings to make the bracelet longer as well.

[@lisajarvis3820]

Fire Mountain Gems and Beads 😂 that wouldn’t work with mine ~it’s way to short! I’ve managed to make another one to the right size ~ lol I discovered that I was measuring the beadwork one second go to 7” and then added the findings and of coarse it was to big ~ then I measured the findings only and took the measurements away from 7” and it worked ~ why I didn’t do that in the first place 🤔 about it after~ 🤷‍♀️ ~😂~ that’ll teach me!!

[@jackiemcallister7330]

I hope you are still seeing comments.....the tutorial is great. I have tried numerous times in the past day to get the beads to drop into the "quadrant" and they seem to go everywhere other than the quadrant. Could it be the tension is too tight. I keep watching and I still cant see how it drops and goes under. Any helpful hints, tips or trick.

[@FireMountainGems]

Hi Jackie - we have a number of resources on Kumihimo that might help with this issue and creating your Kumihimo braids here bit.ly/3QWcw1G. Thanks for watching!

[@IMRad4JC]

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]

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.

[@petrasalazar2725]

Quedó bella❤

[@LeeSiahChong]

Thank you for the tutorial of this beautiful bracelet. What is the order to place the cords around the Kumihimo since color of the beads on each cord is slightly different? Let's say I start with Cord #1 at the position between #31 and #32, where does cord #2 go - between #32 and #1 (and then continue in a clockwise fashion) or do I place cord #2 across the disk to go between #15 and #16 or between #17 and #16? This is my first Kumihimo project. Thank you,

[@FireMountainGems]

We have a video of the basic 8 Cord Kumihimo that you can watch: fmg.co/vl2Gra Hopefully that helps clear up some things before you move on to adding beads!
