Thank you so much for this! I've been wanting to learn how to do the kumi bracelets but the only video I found was a wheel with only 8 slots and you use 7 strings, then move every 3rd string into the free space. And that's the only one I know how to make! You're really good at explaining and teaching so I hope you will decide to do some more videos like this with different patterns! Much love!

so i’ve always done these down to the right and then up to the left, would i have the flip the pattern for this to work?
@MegMakesCrafts4 жыл бұрын
Kale I honestly can’t say for sure as I’ve never tried it that way. But I think... I think it should be fine so long as you are consistently doing it right then left every time because your strings still end up in the same spots.
@selman7623 жыл бұрын
Can I do that without a wheel ? I already did one simple type of these bracelets with 7 strings and I used to cut 8 cuts a circle of paperboard but I see that if I want to do other patterns I should have more cuts.
@MegMakesCrafts3 жыл бұрын
I feel like you probably could but it would become a lot to manage and hold in place. The wheel really helps keep the strings from shifting and moving to where they aren’t supposed to be. However, the craft at its core is just braiding. If you try, let me know how it goes!

I just finished a kumihimo bracelet that require 40 strings so I made a kumihimo disc of 80 slots, the pattern reads “ I ❤️ U “ came out beautiful, you can find the pattern on www.friendship-bracelets.net on the search bar type in k752 and you will see the pattern.

How do you know if you should rotate it clock-wise or in the other direction?
@MegMakesCrafts2 жыл бұрын
So far as I know you should always work your sections clockwise, technically I suppose that means you turn your wheel counterclockwise.

Do you have a pattern generator? I don't understand how you went from the hexagonal pattern to the pattern on the wheel.
@MegMakesCrafts3 жыл бұрын
That pattern is pulled from friendship-bracelets.net where there is a kumihimo pattern generator. The hexagon is broken into ‘slices’ and each slice is broke into two sections. Each section is a different colour that represents a string that you put on your wheel.

In this video I just tied a knot and made sure the piece was long enough to go around the wrist. You could do a button if you put a loop in the beginning of your strings, or you can do a loop and ties like I did in my other kumihimo video!

@MegMakesCrafts4 жыл бұрын
Sanjana Rajkumar the patterns I have encountered can be done like this, like the patterns in friendship-bracelets but I know there are kumihimo plates that are square and I know you can even do spirals with kumihimo so I don’t think this is the only way to do it.

The pattern is only used for the initial positioning of the strings and that’s it. Then you repeat the left up, right down working around the circle! Each segment on the pattern is divided into 2 with each half of the segment representing a string. Hope that helps!

Hi there, I’ve made a newer tutorial with a newer setup where the wheel is more visible. Referencing the numbers on the wheel is useless unless you’re using the exact same wheel as me. Wheels can come in a variety of sizes with a large scope of numbers on them- some don’t even have numbers. I’m sorry you didn’t like my tutorial, but I hope you stick with the craft and find something that does work for you!
