Thank you so very much!! I am watching from Maple Ridge, BC CANADA (60 mins from Vancouver ) I absolutely LOVE your work. Very creative‼️🙏🏻‼️🇨🇦🦋🌻

[@ellenaltecore9715]

Your videos really helped me find my creative outlet. I had some very difficult times last year and this helped me find my courage and invest more time in myself and creativity.

[@mawi1172]

After TRYING to follow other tutorials, I have a new found appreciation for yours! 💕💕

[@tammygurl64]

I love this! ❤ I've never been good at any kind of braids using more than 3 strands and doing it with wire was challenging trying to keep it neat and consistent in size but with your guidance and this loom I have no doubt I'll do just fine. You always explain everything so well in ALL your tutorials and I really enjoy watching. I'm coming up on 2 years of watching and you have no idea how much you have helped! Thank you for sharing your videos!

[@monecaryane6238]

Thank just did this braid. My braiding was a bit uneven, so I twisted and curled this braid into a base for an attached bead floral focal. I will attach a chain or beads to complete as a necklace. THANK YOU!!! Another great job!

[@GB58able]

Totally loving it! There are times when I want to make a Kumihimo beaded bracelet but haven't prepared a disk for the beads. This procedure is fantastic for those days, I can just get my wire and start braiding !! Your tutorials are just fantastic, great instructions, beautiful projects. Thank you.

[@CSLdesigns]

You're very welcome and thank you very much. That is a very good point. It's easy to just take out and sit and make, and the result can be used for several different things. I have been playing around with the idea of incorporating the braid into a woven bracelet, so I'm excited to try that out :-)

[@carmabinel76]

You do amazing work. Your videos are awesome and you're very detailed. I love being crafty and this is right up my alley. Thank you.

[@MrAluminox]

Many thanks. The braid is very easy and the result is gorgeous. I made it with 1 mm Nu Gold wire, which looks like a 14 karat gold, and a lot of polishing. I think it could be done with dead soft 1.2 mm pure copper. I'll try it with twisted wire.

[@patiencep2667]

Never tried a flat dusk before. Perhaps I'll try it soon. Great job.

[@Synzora]

Another brilliant tutorial and design! Thank you so much!

[@CSLdesigns]

You're very welcome and thank you :-)

[@christymccullough7306]

this is gorgeous!!!! I'm thinking matching choker and bracelet. you're brilliant!! Thank you so much

[@CSLdesigns]

Thank you very much. That sounds like a lovely idea. I think that would be really nice :-)

[@stefaniaponitz5738]

Wonderful video! Great inspiration!

[@luissantiago108]

Gracias por compartir😅❤

[@grlygirl1264]

So I bought a book by you..and then discovered you here. I've been working on the diagonal kumihimo and mine curves to the right instead of staying flat. Where am I off track? Do you pull yours tight as you work it or no???? And how do yo get your wire so close together??

[@adriennemacdonald7266]

thank you so much and I just bought your book, l love it.

[@elenaravuvu7880]

Красивый узор👍

[@kfeil8788]

what is the wire placement if I want to use two colors?

[@brendahughes3787]

Christina where are you now getting the large reels of wire I cant get it from jewellery maker any more so can you tell us where you get yours from please

[@catnelson3064]

How much turmeric? How many beats?

[@marialuisa5302]

A bit awkward at first but it really starts to look good, great instructions, thank you. I’m wanting a wider band for a bracelet, Im thinking I could as long as the wire strands are at an odd number 🤔 is this correct?

[@shannanhiguera1839]

Hi i was wondering if you can do a tutorial for a flat baraid uing leather cord on the ends and some gemstones in the middle. TY.

[@davidpaul9365]

If you want a wider bracelet could you increase the number of wires to 9 or perhaps 11. ?

[@vergolution]

can I make this wire bracelet with a round kumhimo broad?

[@toniearnest1861]

Love this Braid !!! How long is the braid you end up with using 20" of wire ? Thank you so much for your vids !!!

[@LivingLarrystyle]

Do you need the board?

[@HR-dk9lw]

Beautiful work and tutorial as always. I was wondering as I have yet to try wirework kumihimo braid flat or round can you do this braid on the round disc?

[@renzo623]

Can I do this on a Project Board???

[@twistedimaginings]

Brilliant and beautiful x

[@CSLdesigns]

Thank you so much :-)

[@cindysinger8964]

Christina, can you use the round disc rather than a square one? My square disc doesn't have all the same side slots as yours.

[@jaymewitcher7852]

Cindy Singer Cindy, I am going with square as she said you need square to do a braid if your still wondering. the size shouldn't matter as long as it's square.

[@oniapleasants4787]

Ugh. I'm having a terrible time with the wire work hardening before I can even get a 1/4 inch braid. I've went down to 22 gauge and still the same. Any advice?

[@chimera91977]

Use a torch and heat it to anneal (soften) the copper. Copper work hardens very easily so the least bending or drawing of the wire you can do the better.

[@gigglegiggles3189]

Thank you!

[@saniamarinho78]

Thats so cool. Thanks you

[@CSLdesigns]

You're welcome and thank you :-)

[@michellegilfillan2515]

i love your videos=).

[@CSLdesigns]

Thank you so much :-)

[@lalune59]

I always just put wire to right like a loom weave but both sides is neater • »★ᵗʰᵃⁿᵏ ʸᵒᵘ☆« •

[@catherinehammacott705]

Very useful however very long winded and no demonstration on how to finish.

[@melody3741]

I'm gonna make a vape coil like this.

[@qaosqitty8098]

Nooo! Another thing I want to try :( LOL. You can bead that as you go right?

[@CSLdesigns]

Hehe, yes I have a tutorial coming up soon where I do a beaded version of this :-)

[@pinkvanf7186]

Can you do without flat kumihimo?

[@inventor2010]

Check this out: imnium.deviantart.com/art/Free-wire-weave-tutorial-573297050. I'll be trying it soon.

[@samdelapp9042]

"from the top to the bottom from the bottom to the top"

[@purd6142]

I’m gonna wrap that bracelet into some coils and vape on em. Gonna rip the fattest clouds *_VAPE NAYSH YALL_*

[@elainelily9910]

This is the exact same wire weave as if you were to stick your wires in a clamp to hold them and then go up down up down up down up down over repeat. Except then you are see what you are doing and make corrections and with kumihomo all your work is hidden and you cant see your what are doing.
