22:44 The second I saw this bracelet I fell in love with the colors, I'm surprised it's your least favorite from the collection!

[@sanjana3728]

You should definitely do these videos yearly ! I love them 😍😍😍😍

[@moistcorn2468]

I made #62218 or something similar for my parents' 20th anneversy last yer

[@moistcorn2468]

my anklets get really dirty (I'm a cross country runner and its either dirt that gets on the bracelet or mud if it rains)

[@sabrinaparr8962]

Very pretty different color bracelets

[@ashlynb13]

[@sabrinaparr8962]

Love the pac man bracelet

[@MegMakesCrafts]

Same though. Saaammee!

[@KDMDT]

I keep my bracelets in a quality street container too! And I have that pencil case! Dollarama! Haha love your bracelets!

[@MegMakesCrafts]

That’s exactly where that pencil case is from too! 🤣

[@anonymousleaf7589]

@Megan Morris can you make a vid of beginnings and endings? Or link vids where you have that?

[@MegMakesCrafts]

I don’t currently have one but I can certainly make one!

[@Layla-rv2cp]

These are adorable! How long have you been making bracelets + whats the oldest in the collection? I've been knotting for 2 years and I only have like 50 good ones! XD

[@MegMakesCrafts]

I’ve been knotting for about 18 years! And I think the oldest in the collection is the red, yellow, white and blue one near the beginning with no pattern. It’s about 8 years old I think!

[@myraemanuelson9299]

can someone explain how to tie a bracelet with a loop and one tie? i’m confused because i though you needed two. thank you!

[@MegMakesCrafts]

Do you mean like how to tie it onto your wrist or how to make the bracelet?

[@myraemanuelson9299]

@@MegMakesCrafts on your wrist, but i just found out how to do it on your bordered chevron tutorial haha thank you though

[@MegMakesCrafts]

@@myraemanuelson9299 I was legit going to say check my older videos- I always show how to tie them on! Hahaha! Glad you figured it out!

[@beatlesallys7815]

How do you start and end your kumihimo and do the ties?

[@MegMakesCrafts]

I just do knots on either end and make it long enough to actually knot the cord around my wrist. Some people do covered loops and braid out the ends though.

[@beatlesallys7815]

@@MegMakesCrafts thank you! I'm searching a lot nowadays, how to make start end and ties as kumihimo original accurate as possible, but I think as they weren't woren as bracelets, I won't find anything. But thank you and I loved your Arizona inspired kumihimo

[@MegMakesCrafts]

@@beatlesallys7815 I expect they originally were just a way to braid rope cord but I could be wrong!

[@beatlesallys7815]

@@MegMakesCrafts they were, the flat and round ones, used to tie samurai armour together, for the hilt and also as a scabbard, as they wrapped the kumihimo around the blade and this is why I think I won't find anything 😅 and they are also used as a "belt" on the kimono

[@samsa4650]

3:31 Swastika was originally a symbol of the sun in slavic mythology and culture. The Nazis saw it without knowing what it meant and used it and completely destroyed the actual meaning of the symbol which annoys me so much because i love swastikas and I wear them and people always say that I SHOULDN'T. Educate yourself and then come talk, actually than u SHOULD come and apologize. Edit: and the bracelet is really pretty

[@MegMakesCrafts]

Yes! Many parts of the world still use it to this day as a symbol of peace and religion. I didn’t go into depth in the video about it but someone had asked in the comments about it and I had explained it at that time. It’s rather unfortunate that so much of western culture only knows it’s implication as a hate symbol - despite the two symbols not being entirely the same- but I have a feeling you already know that. Ultimately though, I decided to keep this one in my collection but not on my wrist as I don’t know enough about the religions that still use it and it’s origins to properly educate on it and it’s negative view in the western culture I live in. To this day it still remains in my collection. I apologize for not giving a thorough explanation in the video and perhaps offending you, that was never my intent!

[@johanna-cd5xw]

all your bracelets are soo long

[@MegMakesCrafts]

😂 I think that’s just the perception of the camera, the way I was moving them to show. I have small wrists and so my bracelets generally err on the short side. Most of my bracelets are 5 - 5.5 inches in length +ties. 🙃

[@allie5294]

27:00 like it but would not make it

[@MegMakesCrafts]

I won’t be making another one anytime soon either. It was more of a nostalgia project for me but it’s a lot of string for what it is 🤷🏻‍♀️
