How to Make the Beaded Flat Kumihimo Bracelet Set - An Exclusive Beadaholique Kit

[@brendaisabelchamberlain8935]

So nice to see anyone can do these, this elderly lady makes it looks so easy! Thank you for the easy instructions. I got a kit and the instructions did not show all this!

[@beadaholique]

Oh good I'm glad the video helped, sorry the instructions weren't fully clear. We design the videos and the instructions so that one or the other can be used on its own, but somethings are easier to show in video form. Thanks for buying this kit!

[@reginahudson9909]

Hi , always enjoy your tutorials, one thing I did not understand is when did you add the other bead on the other strings? Thank you .

[@veronicatampus5461]

Awesome job Julie. Great tutorial. I’m excited to try it.

[@beadaholique]

Thanks Veronica, let us know how it turns out, and we're always here to answer questions if you have any!

[@nancehug888]

Hello, where did u get those big bobbins?

[@pattiesdoghouse1]

I have taken mine apart 10 times, no exaggeration, still cant get it right. Is the 5 bead in the front and the 6 bead in the back?

[@AFidianti]

Thank you for the tutorial, now I can make flat beaded kumihimo wirh 3 line of beads only in one side, wish I can show here..

[@Bifmaniac]

Hi Julie ! Thanks for another awesome tutorial ! Do you think it would work to use 2mm satin rat tail and step up to a 6/0 ? Hugs from Denmark 🇩🇰

[@anneatkinson3388]

That looks great! How can I make a braid with beads down each outside edge and none in the middle?

[@beadaholique]

This is an excellent question. We currently do not have a tutorial on this subject, but we will take this suggestion into consideration. Thanks so much!

[@anneatkinson3388]

@@beadaholique Thank you so much for your reply! I will look forward to further info. Another idea that occurred to me is how to design ones own beaded kumihimo patterns...

[@Lady_of_Ishpeming]

Awesome! Would like to see 2 rows along the edges (1row of beads on each edge). Maybe one with 3 rows of beads. Can't wait to make this!

What size are those gold beads?

[@beadaholique]

They are 6/0 seed beads and you can find them here: www.beadaholique.com/genuine-metal-seed-beads-6-0-gold-tone-gilding-metal-33-grams.html

[@berthacruickshank2288]

Love this bracelet. Thanks for sharing. How long should I cut each warp if I only want to make the triple wrap. I see in the video you have allowed extra length to remain on the bobbins to also make a single additional wrap.

[@beadaholique]

We recommend 8 feet for each wrap. Thanks for watching!

[@bySusuko]

Hi! Thank you for this great tutorial! Question: Is it possible, to make the pattern having the beads only on one side, not on the under side of the bracelet? Thank you!

[@beadaholique]

I have not personally tried that pattern, but yes it should work. You're bead placement will change when loading the beads on to the strands. I'm not certain of the exact pattern.

[@elainesutherland6903]

@@beadaholique the only change is to only drop one bead either the right or left on each rotation. The bead on the right is one side, the bead on the left would be the other side.. be sure you use the same side each time.

[@hazelmckenzie9348]

I am totally addicted to your tutorials. My sister is starting to learn from you also. Keep up the awesome tutorials. Do you ship to Canada?

[@beadaholique]

Thanks so much for watching our videos!! We are so glad to hear they are helping out with your jewelry making. I am glad to confirm we ship to Canada. Shipping fees will vary depending on weight, but please use the "Estimate Shipping and Tax" feature located beneath the list of items in the shopping cart. Thanks again!

[@julie6092]

Hazel McKenzie... I'm in Alberta, and placed an order on Jan 23 it arrived Feb 5.Their packaging is very good! Everything came in a nice box, all safe & sound. They also provide a tracking number so you can see where the order is during shipping. Hope this info helps. And just fyi, it's SO relaxing!! Once you get the rhythm down, you just zen out making them 😊😊

[@kjchannel5726]

So pretty.

[@shariboragine5073]

I love this pattern, but my pattern is a wrap bracelet with 108 beads. 108 does not go into 10 evenly. Can I either add more beads to balance the count out and stop when I have 108 woven, or can you provide help with making this a 12 strand weave? Thanks! ShariB

[@beadaholique]

Hi! I believe you can just add your 108 beads and then stop. I assume you are trying to achieve a mala effect. We do have other videos that show you a more traditional Mala www.beadaholique.com/how-to-make-a-mala.html Currently we do not have a video for a 12 warp flat kumihimo braid but I will add that to our video requests. Thanks for watching!

[@zacdavid184]

Are the beads in this kit 5/0s or 2/0s? (Or 6/0, for that matter?) Thanks!

[@beadaholique]

I can confirm they are 6/0 metal seed beads. The individual colors can be found here: www.beadaholique.com/catalogsearch/result/?type=all&q=Genuine+Metal+Seed+Beads+6%2F0+ Thanks for watching!

[@trishrodenbaugh3149]

I would never return anything. But you are right, I have been doing it and I finally got it. Thank you 😉

[@winningnumbers]

Is this cord you use here, the same as chinese knotting cord?? tia

[@beadaholique]

Yes it is, good eye! Here's the exact kind we used: beadaholique.com/products/lovely-knots-asian-knotting-cord-1mm-thick-navy-blue-50-yards-on-bobbin

[@winningnumbers]

@@beadaholique Thank you for the reply. I am doing this as we speak but I can't get the beads in a straight line. I am using 6/0 but i think those are smaller aren't they? Are they 10/10?? 12/0??

[@beadaholique]

@@winningnumbersSorry you're having trouble! The metal beads in the kit are 6/0. They're a bit smaller than a standard Mikyuki 6/0, but much closer to that than to an 8/0, and they're a good snug fit for the 1mm knoting cord. You can see them here: beadaholique.com/products/genuine-metal-seed-beads-6-0-matte-gilding-metal-28-grams Not sure what the issue might be, could it be a tension problem pulling them out of alignment?

[@beadaholique]

8 pies = 2.4 metros

[@aleidabaptista322]

gracias

[@beadaholique]

De nada.

[@glowgloworiakhi3372]

Beautiful as usual. I want to make more than one color, so I'm guessing I can buy the kit for one color and then a refill for the other colors?

[@beadaholique]

That is correct! We have links to the kits and refills in the description. Thanks for watching!

[@trishrodenbaugh3149]

I LOVE this bracelet, but my beads never come out straight like yours 😣

[@beadaholique]

It can be a little tricky, but we highly recommend practicing these techniques a few times. If you would like to make a return, please contact our customer service team at [e-mail]. Thanks!

[@Tinkertotz13]

I love your tutorials, and I don't even bead yet lol. But why do you always use gold everything? I look awful in gold but you never seem to offer silver options :(

[@beadaholique]

Thanks for watching. This is the silver option we have. www.beadaholique.com/beaded-flat-kumihimo-bracelet-set-black-silver-exclusive-beadaholique-jewelry-kit.html

[@livealittle2397]

What is the size of your ribbon end clasp?

[@beadaholique]

They are 10mm. You can find them in silver here: www.beadaholique.com/silver-plated-ribbon-pinch-crimps-cord-ends-10mm-or-3-8-inch-20.html In antiqued brass here: www.beadaholique.com/antiqued-brass-plated-ribbon-pinch-crimps-cord-ends-10mm-or-3-8-in.html And in gold here: www.beadaholique.com/22k-gold-plated-ribbon-pinch-crimps-cord-ends-10mm-or-3-8-in-20.html

[@AngelaWiser]

It is difficult for me to see, but is it one bead on one side and the the other bead on the other side? My first three beads stack directly on top of each other and after that they become unruly and my braid becomes wider.

[@beadaholique]

The beads are added 2 per braid rotation. See minute mark 17:10. We suggest playing the video at a slower speed to help see all the steps.

[@lesliemohr7790]

Can you make s with the disc

[@beadaholique]

You would need the Kumi disc specifically for flat Kumi braids. See the following link. www.beadaholique.com/lightweight-kumihimo-square-plate-for-japanese-flat-braiding.html

[@pattidorion6603]

My bracelet came out very wonky, is there any advice so I don't do that again?

[@beadaholique]

Please contact our service department at [e-mail] or call us at 1-866-834-4618 on a weekday between the hours 9 am - 5 pm (Pacific Time). Thanks so much!

[@donnamarshall2276]

[@jaclynstoner6633]

What kind of cord are you using?

[@beadaholique]

We are using nylon Asian Knotting cord. Thanks for watching!

[@MichellesHandmadeCreations]

Love this design. I already have what's needed to make this design. Couldn't find the instructions pdf on your site. Pdf's give me the freedom to work away from my computer when making your designs. Please advise or provide the link. Thanks!

[@beadaholique]

Regrettably, the instructions are only available with the exclusive kits. Thanks for watching!

[@MichellesHandmadeCreations]

OK, thanks.

First time I watch ground as terrified. I want to this the flat I only have 8 bobbins but this video was relaxing.
