How to make a loop of kumihimo to carry a pendant

[@rlsterud]

There is just no end to your creativity and ideas for kumihimo! I love this spiral!

[@Prumihimo]

Thanks Lynn. I love to think up new ways to use kumihimo. This is just a simple idea, but it seems to work well.

[@Prumihimo]

I hope you will agree that this is a very useful technique and if you watch to the end of the video you will see how it can be used to make a very pretty and unusual bracelet.

I remember seen my grandmother using this disc, round always been so crafty person, your explain so easy

[@Prumihimo]

Dina Pabon It is so lovely to reconnect with the crafts from the past!

[@kathleenguy3472]

I have not yet done any wire wrapping. This video was most helpful in demonstrating how to measure and make coils I shall certainly try it very soon. Thank you.

[@Prumihimo]

Thanks Kathleen. Sometimes those little tricks are what makes all the difference. It is worth practising first, but once you have got the hang of making the spiral I am sure you will find lots of other uses for it.

[@patriciamorgan6545]

What a nifty technique, and a great, simple way to change up the look of so many types of projects! Thank you, Pru---you truly are the kumihimo master!

[@Prumihimo]

I am so glad you can see the potential in this technique. Sometimes the quick tricks are the best ones!

[@hoochsmom]

I make my own pendents and I want to use my kumihimo skills when I make jewelry, with your tips i am finely able to put the two together. thank you so much. love you videos. please keep in teaching us.

[@Prumihimo]

Thanks Judy. I think that wire work and kumihimo are a great combination. I have got lots of other ideas lined up, so I hope you will enjoy them.

[@vincenzaderamo4380]

This is a great and such a simple idea. I've had problems with one of my pendants slipping around no matter how much a tighten the bail, the hook fastening seems to slip round. i love the bracelet too, thanks Pru,

[@Prumihimo]

Thanks Vin. The way something hangs is so important. I do lots of wearer trials with my designs and I am always interested in how they hang after they have been worn for a while. I hope this works for you.

[@katecommon4456]

Great technique for necklaces and bracelets!

[@Prumihimo]

Thanks.

[@LaTrica01]

[@kathleenrobbinsartist]

[@ha13ven]

[@patdenning2239]

Another great video Pru!

[@Prumihimo]

Thanks Pat. I am glad you enjoyed it.

[@GB58able]

This is very nice, a nice way to make a bracelet. I'd love some ideas for hanging pendants on Beaded Kumihimo, usually I use nice bails, especially for the ones I want to sell, but I do have others that I keep or give away as gifts. Thank you for sharing!

[@Prumihimo]

I am glad you enjoyed this and I will have a think about beaded braid ideas for pendants for a future video.

[@maggiecolusa]

Such a pretty way to do this! Thank you!

[@Prumihimo]

I hope you will have fun with this technique.

[@roserose28]

Love it love it love it! Thanks so much . Love your videos

[@katecommon4456]

I like the curtains! 😊

[@Prumihimo]

I am glad you approve, Kate!

[@katecommon4456]

They make a good background/backdrop 😀

[@jodiepotter6029]

Hello Pru! Thanks for demonstrating another great technique!! As always, you make it look so easy... great job!👍🏻

[@Prumihimo]

Thanks Jodie. This one really is easy. If you have not done any wirework it is worth practising on scrap wire first.

[@jeanbaker-haynes2307]

Great ideas. Thanks for sharing.

[@Prumihimo]

I hope you will find it useful, Jean.

[@cookiesmith8545]

You are amazing at explaining details. I LOVE your videos! This is such a great idea. Thanks again!

[@Prumihimo]

Thank you Cookie. I could do with a good overhead camera, but I have to do my best with what I have. I am glad you like my explanations.

[@anitacampbell6460]

Another very informative video! Very clear, detailed instructions. Can you use this method of making a loop using beads - say 8/0 (I'm in the U.S. so I don't know the European sizes)?

[@Prumihimo]

Yes you can Anita, but the beaded braid would be wider so you would need more wire. Try using the wire from the reel. Make the first spiral, wrap around the braids as many times as you like and then mark off what you need for the second spiral and cut through the wire.

[@cgovier9978]

Thank you! I am going to try this. It is very pretty.

[@Prumihimo]

I hope you will have fun with this technique.

[@mockingbird3564]

Dear Pru. What a brilliant idea! I'm new to Kumihimo, but I can see from your videos, that I have to get my hands on the Prumihimo disk too ;-) Where do you get your materials; I can see a lot of things in your videos, I've never seen before? I buy most of my materials in UK and US. I love your videos; you are truly a born teacher!

[@Prumihimo]

I am in the UK so most of my materials come from UK bead shops, such as spoiltrottenbeads.co.uk, riverside beads.co.uk or Stitchncraft.co.uk

[@katecommon4456]

Great video again. Pru. 😊

[@Prumihimo]

Thanks Kate. I tried a different background this time!

[@kateward7785]

Love this, simple but effective. Am really enjoying watching your videos Pru :-) x

[@Prumihimo]

Thanks Kate. They are great fun to film too!
