How to Make the Long Beaded Kumihimo Necklace Kit (Abridged Version)

[@lauraeisenschenk9386]

Explaining how and where the beads need to catch is exactly the information I've been looking for. This tutorial is the clearest I've found, thank you!

[@beadaholique]

I am so glad it was helpful!

[@Dacoljr]

Ya know, I watched your video on how to make mala beads and I've just realized that this is just an amazing resource for all types of beading and jewelry work. Coming from a true beginner I love these videos!

[@brendaisabelchamberlain8935]

After I got over the pennies, I bought a kit and love doing this. So simple! Thank you for the video helps instead of the written instructions. Thank you

[@beadaholique]

Hi thanks for buying a kit! We make a free video for all of our kits, glad you found it helpful. The pennies do look a little janky but they do the job, If you'd like tho we also sell kumihimo weights that look much nicer: beadaholique.com/products/kumi-weight-with-gator-clip-for-kumihimo-braiding-3-1-ounces-1

[@inesramirez5950]

Thanks to Beadaholique for having this video. It seems like young people are not doing any kind of crafts and it's very difficult to take a class in a shop but this video was perfectly explained. I will go to your page and see what you have to order it and make a necklace for me, love this video.

[@beadaholique]

Thanks Ines, so glad this video was helpful for you! You can find links to the necklace kits in the video description here on KZbin. If you're looking for anything else let me know, I'd be happy to help :)

[@tanyajuli4145]

I didn't realize how time consuming these are to make. Love these necklaces and particularly the pattern here, but wow what a labor of love/

[@staceydigitalduckie3400]

My goodness the patience required for this is mind blowing

[@kobelskidesigns3068]

I don't remember how my grandmother would do it but she made beautiful things like chokers, crosses, roses, and other things. If she looks at something she could make it. She would even crochet with beads. I would do it for a bit but my grandfather would have his fishing poles and I would go fishing instead. I can make some awesome fisherman knots. But she could knit, crochet, tat, and many other things.

Do you know how relaxing and enjoyable it is making these and watching an expert get you started

[@beadaholique]

Glad you're enjoying it Jeanette :) We love how relaxing kumihimo projects are and we're pretty sure that's why it's such a popular technique

[@marylouwilks4545]

I do a lot of crafts and I wanted to tryout these necklaces. I was having trouble figuring the pattern.My stitches had different size so I made a chain with just the thread and it really helped me. I thought if anyone else was having trouble with the tension it was a good exercise.

[@holasarrita]

This is incredibly relaxing to watch. 😌

[@YsabetJustYsabet]

Okay, I have to say: you really surprised me. I've been doing kumihimo for more than a decade now, the kind where you use a wooden marudai and weighted spools and silk thread and so forth, and I initially kind of looked at the title of this with kind of a "Yeah, kumihimo? She may *think* so, but..." I still would say that what you're doing is closer to the handwoven South American patternwork, but that stitch is definitely a simple kumihimo pattern, and the work is lovely. I wouldn't want to try a 16-spool Genshi pattern with beads (I'd lose my mind, it's hard enough with just silk) but your necklaces are beautiful and worth the work. Thank you!

[@kashkaaniaspen5799]

[@caryllipira3005]

Love this pattern. If we reduce the initial section by 5 beads so only loading 35 of the initial main color, will the pattern still line up the same on the disc as if we use 40 beads?

I'm so glad I stumbled across this video. I bought a kumihomo book last year that had a cardboard disc. after one simple project, the disc was useless (fell apart), so I sorta lost interest. Well, after seeing this tutorial I'm picking it up again. Purchased a kit from your website, AND a refill...ha!

Glad you found us :) Your foam disk should last you through more than a few projects. They're not indestructible, but we get a lot of use out of the ones we have here in the Design Space and we do a ton of kumi.

Buenos días. Yo empecé con su tutoría desde la primera vez que lo vi. Pero tengo una duda, usted dice que gira el disco en el sentido de las agujas del reloj pero lo pone al contrario , pues los demás lo hacen así girando hacia la derecha pero usted lo gira hacia la izquierda. De todas formas la prenda sale igual de bella pero quería que me aclarara esto. Muchas gracias y estoy muy contenta de haber conseguido su tutorial.

[@alyy1022]

hello I recently finished the black & rainbow teal necklace and I love it! however, I would very much like one that is red & black or red & white. how many tubes of each color would I have to buy in order to make the full necklace. I want to know before hand cause I don't want to have to stop and wait to get more beads. Thanks!

[@beadaholique]

For your "focal color" you will need 2 tubes (possibly 3 depending on your length). For the "main color" you will need 4 tubes (possibly 5 depending on your length). Since the tubes are not the "quantities" we use for the kits, I would err on the side of safety in having more. I know how frustrating it is to get half way done with a project and have to stop because you need to order more.

[@elisadallomo]

When you say "tubes" you're talking about the 8 gram tubes, right? So for the focal color we'd need 16-24 grams and the main color, 32-40 grams..?

QUESTION: Does it really matter whether you turn the disk clockwise or counter-clockwise as long as you stay consistent? Thanks!

While you can certainly braid Kumihimo clockwise or counterclockwise, when following a pattern or design, we recommend following the steps of the original designer. Thank you!

you were more than brilliant ,I understood evey minute detail thank u soooo much just wanna ask if there any idea for another kind of clasp I think it isnot available in my country

[@beadaholique]

Finding the right clasps for kumihimo projects can be difficult. Glue-in clasps like these are the only option we've found that work well. We can sell and ship our kumi necklace kits internationally, you can see a list of countries we currently ship to here: www.beadaholique.com/support-center/help-shipping If you don't see yours on the list I'd suggest emailing our customer service, it is sometimes possible for us to add countries. If we're not able to ship directly to you some of our customers use a package forwarding company such as www.viabox.com to get a US address that we can ship to.

[@mmap09]

I would like to order but the website does not say the size of the beads. Also I would like to know the quantity of each color of beads.

[@rebeccajns]

Hi Prakash, the size seed beads Kat used were Toho 8/0. The project will take 40-45 grams in total. But because beads are measured by weight when u purchase them, it's always a "Rough guesstimate" So, I personally would make sure to have 50 grams for the project. That will give you enough with a few grams left over. U don't wanna run yourself short so you have enough to complete your project. So, Basically there's 40 beads per gram (if your using toho brand) and it's an 8 warp project. So u multiple the 40 beads times the 8 strands. That equals 320 beads for the first 6 inches of the project. Then multiple those 320 beads by 5 (because it's a 30 inch necklace & its done in 5 separate intervals. Again, each interval being 6 inches long).. If you search on Beadaholique website they have the kits & refill kits for a really good price. I hope this is able to help you. :) If u have any questions, I'm always happy to help. (if I can) lol... :)

[@beadaholique]

The beads are all 8/0 tohos. By purchasing one of the kits you'll get all the beads and other supplies necessary to complete one necklace at a discounted price.

Besides technique, will this look different if you do a beaded crochet rope versus kumihimo?

[@beadaholique]

I don't think you would be able to tell much of a difference. From the side by side comparisons that I have personally seen, the end results look pretty much the same. It's really a matter of which one do you prefer doing. I hope this helps!

Hello, how are u able to capture the seed beads so clear on camera? I'm trying to do same but it's not clear?

[@beadaholique]

We use a camcorder with a long 30x optical lens which helps us get very clear close up shots of the beads that's difficult to do with a phone or DSLR camera. Careful lighting also helps, you want to make sure that your lights are coming from an angle that won't cast any shadows on the beads.

[@carolineyurilee]

Hey, there! I recently found about Beadaholique and have been binge watching a ton of tutorials. I LOVE this pattern and I'd love to adapt it to a bracelet. Any suggestions? Many thanks!

[@beadaholique]

Hey Caroline, welcome to the channel! So we haven't tried this sort of gradated pattern as a bracelet, but what springs to mind is doing it as a wrap bracelet using slightly smaller 10/0 beads. You really want length for this pattern so the gradation can happen slowly and you get a lot of that blended look. Take a look at this video we did for another kumi kit of ours, I think if you apply the pattern to this style of bracelet it'd be lovely: beadaholique.com/products/instructions-for-making-the-beaded-kumihimo-wrap-bracelet-kit

[@n.lindemann1144]

I find that if I try to make a long necklace like this it starts out great, but once the braid gets long and heavy the beads start popping out and the braid collapses. Even when I take it apart and redo it that section I have the same problem. Do you have any ideas on how to fix this? Thank you.

[@beadaholique]

Oh! How are they popping out? Are they actually somehow falling off or is it that they (and the braid underneath) are bulging out? If you have a photo or can describe it a bit more, I can try to help.

[@loletaangil8159]

When you say you can take length out of the teal area at the beginning, my thought is you need to take the same amount of beads out at the end teal area for balance. Am I thinking right?

For example: on to strand 1 - 3 accent, 3 main, 2 accent, 5 main, 2 accent, 8 main, 1 accent, 10 main, 1 accent, 5 main. Then continue and reverse the pattern of each individual strand in the same manner, then braid. Finally, string 40 beads of your main color each on to each of the eight strands. And braid.

I have never done this, can you make a shorter necklace by just not using as much thread?Thank you!

[@sutikansalewit]

All ur kits are sold out but when they do come back in stock does Beadaholique ship to Canada?

[@patticrissbaum1873]

Thank you for this. I have a question, though. How do you keep it from stretching out after you've woven it together? Are you using a heavy weight in order to "pull" the braid down? I am finding I get different lengths with different types of cords and weights and am rather lost :)

[@beadaholique]

For this project we are using Super Lon Nylon thread, size 18 (0.5mm). We recommend pre-stretching the cord just a bit. This can simply be done by wrapping some thread around your index finger and gently pulling the other end with your opposite hand. You should stretch about a foot at a time or so. You can find the S-Lon thread here: beadaholique.com/search?type=product&q=S-Lon

Hi, I just started today with this bracelet but I can do it wright😢...my thread keeps showing threw.! What am I doing wrong? I use 8/0 and same cord but the beads don't even touch correctly I did the 1/3th off the bracelet but I can stop because this isn't working *Help* (in bed now for about 6 to 8 hours than I can respond) if needed, thank you Bianca

[@beadaholique]

Hi! If your thread is showing, I am guessing it's a tension issue with the cord. Do you have some sort of weight on the bottom of your thread knot? It sounds like perhaps the beads are not sinking down properly or the thread is too loose so it's creating gaps causing the thread to show. I hope some of this helps. If you do have a weight on your threads, how heavy is it (approximately)?

Красиво получилось! Спасибо за урок.

[@shadyladiestrading5206]

I would love to learn this technique for western hat bands. I use a loom but would like to offer more variety for my business. I generally use size 11/0 seed beads. Would the mini disk work better for this? Have you had any experience in using seed beads with this technique? Thank you!

[@beadaholique]

We have not made any western hat bands using the Kumihimo technique, but we imagine it would work well. If you're working with 8 warps or less, the regular size and mini disk will work. If you plan on using more than 8 warps a larger disc will work better. Thanks so much!

[@laurarychlik5048]

i think that you can make the same necklace with another way by crochet beading ?? and it will be more easy and have a lot of patterns

[@beadaholique]

Yes you could make a very similar necklace by crocheting, it's mostly a matter of preference. We've seen a lot of interest in the kumihimo projects we've shared over the years so we like to offer kumi kits for designs like this.

[@NoOoDYSAMO]

i really like this way so much but can i make another pattern by this way + this one the circle is 8 beads can it be more than 8 ? cause in crochet beading if the pattern is more than 10 beads it's getting tough and not fixable

[@hannahprindiville7825]

Could you do this ombré type pattern but made into a bracelet? Just trying to figure out how you would adjust the pattern? I’m thinking a bracket would roughly be a 1/3 or 1/4 of the necklace? If you have a pattern for that I would love it!

[@beadaholique]

Regrettably, we do not have a bracelet with an adjusted pattern, but we have a similar bracelet project available here: www.beadaholique.com/heavy-metals-rock-kumihimo-bracelet.html Thanks for watching!

[@LoretoCarlota]

Amazing!!!👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 Espectacular en español!! Thank you.,, Gracias🙋🏻

[@Incapt]

I just started and finish the first section of this necklace but for my surprise the video ONLYt explains the degradation pattern of 1 string. How can I know the rest?😒😒😔

[@alexanderlightwood2100]

When you start can’t you just do 4-14 foot strands and just cut them in half or is it just faster to do 8-7 foot strands?

[@beadaholique]

Cutting strands in half like that is a good method. It can be faster for a lot of people, but that can depend on other things too like their range of motion and how big of a space they have to work in. The thing that effects speed the most is practice really, both methods can be very fast after a few years of crafting.

[@mycatzluvme2]

Oh, just a thought, I marked the numbers on the bobbins with a sharpie marker, the fine tipped one, you could use the other one too. It comes off with alcohol in case you want to change the numbers.

[@shaistahasan2491]

thanku very much mam for this fabulous work.

[@sathyathulasikumar9243]

Can we do it using 8/O size beads and beadlanding transite cord. I tried with these but braid is not coming as expected. Please advise

[@beadaholique]

8/Os are the right size so I think the transite cord is the problem. We haven't tried doing kumihimo with it here in our design space, but monofilament cords like that can have difficultly holding in traditional knots because the material is so slippery. I'd recommend a twisted nylon chord, this is what we use in the kits: www.beadaholique.com/beadsmtih-super-lon-cord-size-18-twisted-nylon-turquoise-77-yard-spool.html

[@sathyathulasikumar9243]

Beadaholique thank you

[@alyy1022]

Is there a way to use 4 colors with this design? Like just do the pattern part 3 times and the 4th color would be the center part and repeat it going back up?

[@beadaholique]

That could look very cool! Not sure how the beads would divide to get the graduated look. Might take some trial and error but worth it!

[@zahraranjbarian3946]

Oh that was a very good tutorial 💖🙌🏻

[@3arcovich]

gorgeous!

[@larisaorlova.radugapodarko9440]

У вас катушки подписаны. Имеет значение как ставить в пары собранные нити ? You have coils signed. Does it matter how to pair the assembled threads?

[@minib7176]

Madam please upload more videos. It is very beautiful and interesting.

[@beadaholique]

Thanks Mini, we're still uploading video every week and if you'd like to see more kumihimo braiding we're got a whole playlist you can check out there: kzbin.info/aero/PLdGWVJ-tb1bHGMZuegvUqiksO7yV7p86O

[@meghaacharekar7222]

To make it flexible which thread should we use. It getting stiff when I used wild fire.

[@beadaholique]

This kit/tutorial does not use Wildfire, it uses BeadSmith Super-Lon (S-Lon) Cord - Size 18 Twisted Nylon 0.5mm thick: www.beadaholique.com/catalogsearch/result/?type=simple&q=BeadSmith+Super-Lon+%28S-Lon%29+Cord+-+Size+18+Twisted+Nylon You could try Stretch Magic Clear Stretchy Cord 0.5mm: www.beadaholique.com/stretch-magic-clear-stretchy-cord-5mm-019-inch-width-10-meters.html

[@faithmly]

Does the pattern work the same if you spin the disc counter clockwise?

[@beadaholique]

Hi Emily! Yes, the pattern will work. It will simply spiral in the opposite direction.

[@nityatripathisharma5806]

It's amazing.. but can I know the easiest way . I just loved this necklace . I want to make it

[@beadaholique]

We have a more detailed version of the tutorial here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/p2GWpntprpmLrLs

[@jeantaylor2308]

I used to make a very similar necklace by crochet. Wish I still had those instructions.

[@rhondaroberts9581]

Love it!

[@amandadebock86]

I noticed that u start at the bottom of the disk and go bottom left up, top right down. Does it matter if you start at 32 and go top left down bottom right up? you also turn to the right, can you turn to your left?

[@beadaholique]

For your "focal color" you will need 2 tubes (possibly 3 depending on your length). For the "main color" you will need 4 tubes (possibly 5 depending on your length). Since the tubes are not the "quantities" we use for the kits, I would err on the side of safety in having more. I know how frustrating it is to get half way done with a project and have to stop because you need to order more.

[@PennyCandy10]

Great pattern .. About how much time would it take to complete this length ?

[@beadaholique]

Depends on how quickly you work but I would estimate it around 6-8 hours of work. It's a great project to start and leave off if you have to walk away. Just move one strand up as shown in the video so you don't lose your place.

[@PennyCandy10]

+Beadaholique thank you very much for the reply :-)

[@barbaracrawford3712]

This is beautiful and thankyou for the tutorial, well appreciated.......

[@beadaholique]

Thanks Barbara, glad you like it. We're really flattered with the response this video's gotten :)

[@TheArt4nails]

What are 7 feet in cm ? THIS BRACELET IS WONDERFUL !

[@beadaholique]

7 feet would be about 213cm.

[@karenscott7511]

Look it up if you would like to learn conversions. Just use your browser!

[@nicoleosmond4442]

What size of seed beads are these? I originally bought the blue and rose gold, but I want to order from you guys and do another, but not in the colours you offer.

[@sindy5100]

I absolutely love this necklace, normally I make different kinds of beading jewellery. I would like to make it with the beads that I already purchased from this shop. I have everything I, the disc enz I was just wondering, are all strands stung the same way as the first that you did you did in the in the tutorial? Or do really need to by the refill kid as well ? Greetings from Belgium, Sindy 😉

[@sindy5100]

😆😆 refill kit

[@beadaholique]

The strands are not all strung identically. We decided not to show the stringing of each strand because it would have made the video 50 or 60 minutes long but we've included a write-up of the pattern in the video description here on KZbin. If you click "Show More" beneath the video's text and scroll to the bottom you'll see the stringing pattern.
