My big beads are left overs from when I used to macramé all the time! Fun way to incorporate them into a different knotting technique. Thanks for sharing this idea, Pru.

[@Prumihimo]

This is the perfect quick make, so hunt through your stash for a feature bead or two and grab a few cords!

Love this bracelet and the large bead. I will definitely try this bracelet design. Thanks for sharing.

[@Prumihimo]

Thank you. I always like to be able to share designs like this, which can be made up quickly with a few left-over materials!

Love it. I have a couple of large beads that I didn't know what to do with...but now I do...thanks so much...I'm gonna be busy for a bit!!

[@patriciamorgan6545]

Great idea! I was trying to figure out how you added the bead, until you explained the construction process (using the bead as the starting point---of course!) This looks like it would work well with 1mm leather, as well. The colors are beautiful, by the way.☺

Could you tell us more about the cord you are using? Where did you get it and what is it made of and the mm of it? TFS..LOVE THIS IDEA.

Hi I was looking online and I was thinking about dog collar kumihimo what do you think

[@deborahperez2451]

Each time I try this technique my braid is wonky. I use a medium sized carnelian bead, two Tex 135 go through it and the rest of my cords are rat tail. Do you know why please ?

[@Prumihimo]

Deborah PEREZ - The way to combat wonkiness is to make sure you make the braid tight against the bead.
