Beaded Kumihimo Wide Stripe

This video is the first in a series of videos about creating kumihimo beaded braids using counted designs. The video shows an easy to use bead threading chart which can be captured with a screen shot. Alternatively the chart can be found on my website. This first design is a simple, but effective wide stripe, which can be used in so many ways.

Please let me know if you like this video. I have more counted design videos planned. What would you like to see?

I love the idea of counted designs! I would also love to see figures, such as flowers, animals, and other recognizable items (organic, rather than geometric). Is it possible to create letters (initials) with kumihimo??

[@Prumihimo]

I have got a flower and a tree ready to go. To make more detailed shapes you need to use more cords, which is something I will work on if these 8 cord videos are popular. Letters are difficult because of the level of detail required to make them readable.

Pru your videos make kumihimo so easy to understand. Thanks for all your hard work. I love this channel, your blog, your books and your website.

[@prumcrae2779]

Thank you Denise. I am so pleased you like this video. There are more to come!

[@sqsand]

Great video, as usual! I look forward to more.

[@prumcrae2779]

Thank you so much. I will keep them coming.

[@aloramahler1804]

Great instructions. Thank you

[@dancekaty01]

It worked beautifully Pru and easy to follow instructions/pattern.

[@Prumihimo]

Great to hear!

[@sue7777]

Very informative video-both instruction and demonstration. Thanks, Pru, for sharing yet another project to encourage me to pull out my disc and give it a whirl.

[@prumcrae2779]

I am so pleased it has inspired you.

[@petraeggensperger729]

Very well explained, thanks Pru. Looking forward to the other designs.

[@Prumihimo]

Thank you Petra. I plan to upload a new one every week for the next few weeks.

[@user-zh9sq2zk3v]

Always exquisite. Loved the video,

[@Pimeface]

Love the stripe design. Your chart was well done,easy to see and helpful. Thanks for sharing your talent and ideas to help newbies like me, very much appreciated...

[@Prumihimo]

I am so pleased that the chart works for you. I played around with different ways of getting the information across, so it is good to hear that you have found this helpful.

[@joanneblack7697]

Pru ... this wonderful, as always! Thank you for sharing these fantastic tutorials! 💜

[@Prumihimo]

Glad you like them!

[@victoriaagabalyan3855]

Hi Pru, I wish I found your channel earlier, but it is not too late to learn a lot of new things! Quick question, did you try this particular technique using round seed beads and long magatamas combination? I have a "back of a dragon" kind of picture in my head to do, that's why I'm asking. Thank you for your hard work and knowledge sharing!

[@annadion4134]

Very nice. I’ll be trying it. I’d love to see how the other patterns are done also.

[@Prumihimo]

Thank you. I plan to upload a new one every week.

[@cherriartrip7655]

I can't wait to try this! Thank you!!!

[@Prumihimo]

Have fun!

[@monymo950]

I love you so much 💗

[@annitahenkens]

Heel mooi uitgelegd. Als ik zelf een patroon wil ontwerpen, is er een techniek om te weten waar je welke kleur op je schema moet zetten?

[@alisonwarlow1911]

Very informative. Can you advise how you work out how much 'thread' you need for the bracelet and you also mentioned a 'stop bead' in the video .. what is this? Thanks in advance Pru ;o)

[@Prumihimo]

You need 3 times the required finished length for each cord. This video explains all about stop beads. kzbin.info/www/bejne/m6ekmoaoad2fp6s

[@clairesumner1875]

Great video, so informative

[@prumcrae2779]

Thank you Claire.

[@fleurspijker1677]

Do you also have a video in which you show the pattern with making a bracelet?

[@audreyburman3023]

Thank you. This is something that I have been very interested in but do not understand how to make a pattern. I certainly will want to try some of yours out. Are you using size 8 beads? Most of mine are size 6 on a size #18 cord.

[@Prumihimo]

The samples are made with size 8 beads, but the patterns will work just as well with size 6 beads.

[@alisonwarlow1911]

Tried doing the wide stripe however something has gone wrong - My stripe ended up twisting around the bracelet rather than been a solid line down the middle of my braid .. any suggestions .. thanks in advance Pru.

[@Prumihimo]

It sounds as if your tension might be either too tight or your disk is a bit worn and the slots are not gripping the cords properly.

[@elviraguerra6981]

Porfa lo puedes traducir al español

[@Prumihimo]

Unfortunately I do not speak Spanish, but kumihimo is very visual, so I hope that most of the video can be understood through actions rather than words. If there is anything specific you need me to explain please ask.
