Love these!! They come together so quickly. I made up 2 last night with 8/0 seeds & 4mm bicones I had in stock. Have a feeling I'll be making more :-)

[@perri_6]

[@cruzandrade561]

Thanks for showing how to do. Can't wait to do one.

[@clairemendoza8082]

Yeah thanks for letting us know about the size. Now I know which ones to get when I got to Hobby Lobby. My go to craft store. It's a bummer beadaholique doesn't carry these kits there. It would be so awesome. If they did

[@tammiecarbohn6796]

What size bi-cone beads did you use? And are the black ones 8/0? Thx Love your website just wish you had more in stock.

[@beadaholique]

We used 4mm bicones and Miyuki 11/0. Check out our new Austrian crystal by Prestige: beadaholique.com/search?type=product&q=Prestige+4mm

[@47bettie]

Beautiful bracelets! Looks like they come together quickly! Thank for sharing! Liz.

[@cynthiataylor8869]

All these craft artists, so many beautiful projects, I am amazed and excited . I must work up a stash of beads cord and wire get me going.

[@angelakaler5046]

Hi Badaholique I just wanted to let you know I did get my kit and have already made my bracelet, I love it and it was so much fun to make and it's Beautiful Thank you so much!!!!

[@beadaholique]

Wonderful Angela, glad we could help you make something you love :)

[@bobbiebrian6927]

I purchased one kid and one refill I've got the kit made however I can't find my instructions so I'm not sure how to finish it off and I still got it sitting on the kuma Loom what would it take for me to get the instructions so that I would have a hard copy to be able to read and watch the video again so I can finish that bracelet off also can this be done with size 6 by cones and if so how do you reduce the amount of beads love it love you.

[@beadaholique]

If you are missing instructions, please contact our customer service department at [e-mail] or give us a call at 866-834-4618, M-F, 9am-5pm Pacific Time. Just let us know your order number and we should be able to provide the instructions by email or regular mail, whichever you prefer. You can potentially use 6mm bicones. You would use approximately 6 less beads per strand to achieve the same length as you would with the 4mm. Thank you!

[@daniellewalker7779]

Thanks so much I've made a few of these bracelets since I saw this video, I have actually used round crystal beads as well I just love it.

[@mariefrance4201]

I love this pattern ... Have made three so far and just waiting for my order of magnetic clasps that I ordered from Beadaholique. Thank you.

[@clairemendoza8082]

If you want to make the bracelet a little shorter, you add fewer seed beads but don't change the length of each cord which is 36 inches right? I am having trouble with mine as my bracelet is still too big and I went from 36 inches of cord to 30 inches and it's still too big. I need help! I am also using Miukui Round seed beads size 8/0. Am I using the wrong seed beads? Should I be using the Toho instead of the Miyuki round? Please help!

[@beadaholique]

Hi Claire, You can change the length of the cord but you don’t have to. You do however need to change the number of seed beads on each section respectively. I believe nearly all our kumi projects including this one have used Toho rounds, but we have recently started carrying more Miyuki rounds as well and the differences are very slight and come down to personal preference.

[@clairemendoza8082]

@@beadaholique Thanks so much. I noticed that the Toho Rounds are slightly different to the Miyuki rounds. Is this true?

[@beadaholique]

​@@clairemendoza8082 Yeah there are some small differences. The Miyuki rounds tend to be a little, well, rounder, whereas the Toho rounds are slightly more cylindrical. The Toho rounds also have a slightly large hole which we like for our bead weaving because it makes multiple passes just a touch easier.

[@loricross767]

I have a 6 inch wrist. What adjustments do I need to make to the bead count for this bracelet?

[@reneewatson2235]

I followed the instructions, but my bracelet is very big. Can you suggest why, and how to make it smaller? I have a large wrist so I’m confused as to what happened!

[@aareavis]

Could I do 15 8's, 15 bicones, 15 8's to make a longer bracelet?

[@nadaal-saadi3984]

That’s really amazing, I made one already and love it, just have a question, can I try making same bracelet but with roundel beads not bicone beads ?! Thanks in advance ❤️

[@beadaholique]

Good question! We haven't tried a rondelle kumihimo bracelet yet. I think it's worth a shot but you might run into difficulties depending on how wide your rondelles are. We've done a few projects using unusual beads, and what's worked best for us is asymmetrical beads where the hole is closer to one end. That way we can thread the bead so the short end faces inward, allowing the interior of the braid to come together tightly. If your rondelles are too wide they might make the braiding a little loose. You might get a great look that way, but it might be a little unstable. I think it sounds like a fun experiment! Here's a few examples of asymmetrical kumihimo bracelets I mentioned if you want to see what I mean: beadaholique.com/products/jade-dragon-kumihimo-bracelet beadaholique.com/products/mod-mushroom-kumihimo-bracelet beadaholique.com/products/retired-draccus-kumihimo-bracelet

[@mariapazaberin582]

Hi. if I use 4mm bicone, may i know what size of seed bead i should use? btw, these bracelets are beautiful :)

[@t.mk.9574]

beautiful, i will definitely try, but i m not sure if i will get the kit in Dubai

[@patriciappi2391]

Hello, I m from belgium I m looking for cord Wich one use you please ? Thank you and have a nice day

[@beadaholique]

Hi Patricia, we use size 18 S-Lon nylon cord for all these bracelets, you can see our selection of it here: beadaholique.com/search?type=product&q=s-lon&_=pf&pf_t_size=0-Size%3ASize%2018

[@LifeofAgnes75]

hi Julie can you help me please. i wanna ask if how can i adjust the beads cause some of my family have a smaller wrist . this bracelets are perfect for Christmas gift for my family i eas about to order on your website. i hope you can help me and thank you ...

[@SallyJane104]

I would say just put on fewer beads. I am going to make another with like maybe 7 beads, this bracelet was huge.

[@lucybaptista5311]

buenas tardes amiga te felicito es hermoso tu trabajo

[@barbaracrawford3712]

does it make a difference what your making if you go counter clock wise, or clock wise. thank you

[@beadaholique]

No, we've never found that it makes a difference. You can go either way

[@aperry3874]

just andFYI, at the ends of the cords tie a knot so the beads don't fall off. The tape didn't stick on my bobbins very well and my beads fell off.

[@louisarankin5091]

Hi, I seem to have a problem with my own materials are these beads special kumihimo seed beads? I was hoping to have some advice as the cord shows a lot even though the seed beads and cord I picked up in a shop are correct for the project :( either that or my disk just has gone on strike 😂

[@beadaholique]

We can confirm they are standard round 8/0 seed beads by Toho. Thanks for watching.

[@melissavaldez8018]

What are the size of the bicone beads? And the Toho seed beads?

[@beadaholique]

The bicones are 4mm, you can see the colors we carry here: beadaholique.com/collections/czech-crystal-beads?_=pf&pf_t_size=0-Size%3A4mm&pf_t_basic_shape=0-Shape%3ABicone The Tohos are 8/0 rounds: beadaholique.com/collections/seed-beads?_=pf&pf_t_style=0-Style%3ARound&pf_v_brand=Toho&pf_t_size=0-Size%3A8%2F0

[@gracedchild2283]

I am in Ghana, how can I get the disk, cord and the bead buttons

[@beadaholique]

Hi Abena, unfortunately the shipping company we use doesn't ship to Ghana. I'm sorry for the inconvenience. Some of our international customers have placed orders with us using a package forwarding service. If you're not able to to find kumihimo tools locally it might be work looking at. Here is one that some of our customers have used in the past: www.viabox.com

[@seashore7639]

What size magnetic clasp are you using?

[@beadaholique]

Hello, I believe it was a 6mm diameter magnetic clasp.

[@GiseGdg]

Hello could please tell me the lengh's thread of each piece of c lon? Thanks and sorry for my bad english.Pouvez vous me dire quelle est la longueur de chaque fil c lon?

[@torahobadiah]

Trois fois la longeur du bracelet que vous voulez faire. Si votre bracelet est de 20 cm chaque morceau de fil doit mesurer 60cm

[@silvanadegiorgis7344]

Excuse me, courtesy of that diameter are the cones ?? unfortunately I understand little English and did not hear the measure ..... thank you, hello

[@beadaholique]

The cones are 4mm

[@silvanadegiorgis7344]

[@jikonivibes.1835]

Honestly I like this video but how can I get this kuminiho kit but me an not in america

[@joannecurrie6833]

Hi can you please tell me the size of the cord and the beads bicones please

[@beadaholique]

We use size 18 S-Lon cord and 4mm bicones in our kits.

[@joannecurrie6833]

Thank you

[@rhondastark7329]

What kind of cord are you using?

[@beadaholique]

The cord is S-lon size 18

[@beckyj5875]

I wish you would show how to do the Butterfly Kumihimo Bracelet. I am new to kumihimo but I love that bracelet so I want to make it & I'm better at following along with videos that paper instructions. I want to make a 6 1/2 bracelet & I'm worried that I'll add to many or not enough beads on each side of the charm.

[@beadaholique]

We actually have a video on how to make this bracelet here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qHXVaomqertnipY The only difference is the charm is different, but the technique is the same. Thanks for watching!

[@kristinburns3146]

Does it matter if you go left up right down or can you do right down left up?

[@beadaholique]

We recommend keeping to left up, right down.

[@kristinburns3146]

Beadaholique what is the difference? I saw in a bead magazine the opposite way.

[@beadaholique]

That is a good question. We stick to the left up, right down method.

[@donathompson4852]

I am having trouble when I start adding the beads, They are not falling together. I am going just like when I was doing the strings without the beads. And the chain looks real good. WHAT am I doing wrong? Thank you. Dona

[@satmirsulejmani2335]

Dona Thompson

[@annthornton9850]

if c-lon thread is not available, what other thread could we substitute it with

[@beadaholique]

C-lon or s-lon will be the strongest. However there are many factors to consider. You can use hemp, pearl cotton, or thread for kumihimo. The designs in this video are kits and come with all you will need to complete the bracelet, including the s-lon. If you use another material, be sure to match the size of your beads to your thread.

[@gloriapatriciaguzmandelgad7199]

Cuánto hilo usas para cada linea

[@irisbenson223]

How do you keep your bobbles from tangling

[@beadaholique]

Just rotate the disk .

[@marilyc2376]

how many beads on each warp would you recommend for a 6 in. wrist?

[@beadaholique]

Marily C Hi, for a 6 inch wrist I would still make a 7 - 7.5" bracelet, you don't want it to be too tight. For the bracelet in the video you would place 12 seed beads, 12 bicones, 12 seed beads on each warp.

[@queenwai6261]

Marily C

[@mahalakshmir2184]

how much does the kit cost?

[@judyguttadore8387]

How big is the finished bracelet?

[@ChristieY]

what size are the magnetic clasps?

[@beadaholique]

The clasps are 11mm x 7mm and fit up to a 6.2mm cord. They're our favorite clasp for all sorts of kumi projects. You can see them here: www.beadaholique.com/silver-plated-magnetic-tube-cord-ends-clasps-fits-6-2mm-cord-1-set.html

[@ChristieY]

Beadaholique thank you! Your videos are so helpful.

[@alishalee891]

Do the kits come with the loom or is it sold separately

[@beadaholique]

These kumihimo bracelets don't need a loom, but if you're asking about the foam kumihimo disk yes it's absolutely included in the kit

[@alishalee891]

Beadaholique yeah thank you

[@Ritercrazy]

Instructive and encouraging!

[@VictorianRabbit3456]

I wanted the kit but it said they were out of stock. :(

[@patford1491]

Would they fit a size 8 inch wrist

[@beadaholique]

Pat Ford The instructions make an approx. 7.25" bracelet. If you want to make it longer, add additional seed beads to your strands before beginning. I would suggest stringing the beads in the following pattern on each strand: 17 seed beads, 12 bicones, 17 seed beads - for an 8" bracelet. The additional beads will make it long enough and you can also always braid a little extra on each end without beads that will extend the length too.

[@queenbombus]

What size are the beads and bicones?

[@beadaholique]

The bicones are 4mm, you can see the 4mm precisoa bicones we carry here: beadaholique.com/collections/crystal-beads?_=pf&pf_v_brand=Preciosa&pf_t_size=0-Size%3A4mm&pf_t_basic_shape=0-Shape%3ABicone The beads are 8/0 Toho rounds: beadaholique.com/collections/seed-beads?_=pf&pf_t_style=0-Style%3ARound&pf_v_brand=Toho&pf_t_size=0-Size%3A8%2F0

[@Bifmaniac]

What size of seed beads and bicones are you using ?

[@clarewalker8597]

Miss Larsen They look slightly bigger than the seed beads which look like size 8, so i'm guessing 4mm bicones?

[@beadaholique]

Miss Larsen We are using 8/0 Toho seed beads and 4mm crystal bicones.

[@seashore7639]

What size black beads?

[@beadaholique]

They are size 8/0

[@sindy5100]

I love this bracelet but before ordering I would like to know something: what is the average size of the completed bracelet knowing that everyone makes there's knots different. Some lose and some really firmly knotted. I have a really small wrist size and would like to know how many beads I needs to deduct from the given number. Sorry for the long explanation but I didn't know how describe it otherwise 😄 Love the tutorials and the product's. Greetings from Belgium, Sindy

[@beadaholique]

They are approximately 6.5 inches in length. Thank you.

[@sindy5100]

Beadaholique Thanks a lot for answering, now I can order 😄

[@Zubradevine]

What length bracelet does this make? And how would I adjust to make a,longer bracelet for my fat lady wrists ? Lol x

[@beadaholique]

+Zubradevine The length of the bracelet in the video is around 7.25". To make it longer, you will want to add more of the seed beads to the sides and not alter anything else about the bracelet (middle focal, clasp attachment, etc). The key is to add equal amounts of seed beads to each side so that the center focal stays centered. The kit itself provides plenty of beads to make a larger bracelet.

[@Zubradevine]

Thank you :)
