How to end your kumihimo jewellery using the glued method

[@KathyBauer-vd5yy]

Wonderful instructions, thank you!

[@alfkey4155]

Hi Pru , Been using kumihimo ever since I saw you on JM ,,. I find this a very relaxing hobby , giving most of the braids away as gifts ,, when mixing epoxy I use Pringle lids , there are other containers that have similar lids ,, when set , just bend the lid and the glue falls off ,,. Regards Alf

So very helpful tip on gluing end caps to braided projects! Thank you a whole bunch, Ms Pru!

[@Prumihimo]

You are so welcome!

[@elizabethnorris1478]

What a wonderfully produced video, everything thought through and very clear instructions, I have just started on the Prumihimo journey and am very grateful for your first class tutorials...many thanks indeed :)

[@anngray5655]

That was really helpful and informative.

[@helenrussell5634]

Excellent tutorial, very easy to follow and you are going at a perfect speed. I can’t tell how many times I have had to stop and go back over instructions on other tutorials because they are explaining way too fast! Thank you for your time🙏

[@msy439]

Thank you for sharing your techniques. I find you to be a very good teacher and I enjoy listening to you , I only wish I would have viewed these videos before I made all of my Christmas presents, it would have saved me a lot of grief!

[@Prumihimo]

Thank you Mary. I am very pleased to hear that my style of teaching suits you. I hope my techniques will make next Christmas easier for you!

[@DeannaJayChuNim]

You are an excellent teacher!

[@tinajorgensen2558]

Thank you so much for sharing your techniques with us!

[@Prumihimo]

Tina Jorgensen - I am glad you have found them useful.

[@yasminrichmond5339]

Excellent. Thank you so much. Am eagerly waiting to receive both your books and disk which I ordered.

[@RyskerSein]

I know this video is a little old but I absolutely died at the way you pronounced macramé! Otherwise I’ve been bingeing all your videos and I love them.

[@Prumihimo]

I know what you mean because I find the American pronunciation of macrame very amusing!

[@cathymilson4386]

Awesome tutorial! You explain things so clearly! thanks so much!

[@Prumihimo]

Feedback like that is really important to me. Thank you Cathy.

[@sister1976]

This was very helpful. Thanks. Very clear and easy to follow. :)

[@nursejawa7]

Very useful. I wish I’d seen this before I took up Kumihimo. The tutorials from other so called experts cost me a lot of wasted cord, glue and time!

[@suzenmillodot]

Very Helpful video, thank you Pru. I have a question. I am using E6ooo at the moment. I am following the instructions in your book on Kumihimo endings, using glue. You recommend putting glue on the end of the braid then waiting for it to dry but not get hard. Roughly how long does this drying take? Half an hour? Or one or two hours? It would be very useful to know.

[@janweatherley3500]

Excellent tutorial Pru - thoroughly enjoyed it

[@Prumihimo]

Thank you so much Jan. You may be amused to know that my cats had to be locked out during the filming because they tried to get way too involved!

[@Crafty845]

Yeah, I can't wait for the pearl turtorial😉

[@maryanderson9895]

Great Advice on all your videos

[@Bonnie7455]

Your video was very helpful and you explained everything very well. Thanks bunches🤗

[@josephinedeluca1790]

That was a great video!!!

[@marieazrak1951]

Can you make a video about what types of fasteners to use?

[@pachese007]

Hi. Love your tutorials. Is it possible for a tutorial on the last bracelet shown, the green one. It’s beautiful 😍

[@Prumihimo]

Pachese F. - Thank you. I don’t have a tutorial for this one yet, but I hope to get one filmed later in the year.

[@pachese007]

Prumihimo Thank you for replying! I bought your disk and book today and I’m looking forward to a new learning venture. 😍😍

[@helenrussell5634]

Pachese F. Yes, I love that green bracelet too! It immediately caught my eye! I would love a tutorial for that one too!

[@helenrussell5634]

Pachese F. Do u know if she ever did make that particular tutorial?

[@christinegorton8476]

Brilliant thank you. One question please, why do you use the glue on the braid, then cut with scissors as opposed to using a thread burner? Would the glue method be stronger?

[@Prumihimo]

I think it is more a matter of personal preference than strength. I like to use glue because I find it easy to control and see if the braid is properly sealed before I cut it. I know that lots of people like to use burners to melt the braid and it should be perfectly secure, as long as you are sure that all the cords have been melted together. If you want to use this method I suggest getting a CORD burner, rather than a thread burner, because they are bigger and stronger.

[@christinegorton8476]

Thank you. Will try the glue method as you have mentioned.

[@wendytitterton5004]

how long should my cord be for a 6.5 inch bracelet? and many size 6 and size 8 seed beads per inch?

[@Prumihimo]

It is on its way to you!

[@mmap09]

Very informative.

[@Prumihimo]

It is good to hear that you found it informative. Thank you Prakash.

[@Crafty845]

Thank you for this method. I love you pearl bracelet, will you pls do a video tutorial, PLEASE PLEASE

[@Prumihimo]

Is it the pearl bracelet I wear in the giveaway draw video? I would love to do a video tutorial for it. It is made on my Prumihimo disk. I also have other bracelets using pearls planned.

[@marieazrak1951]

What kind of thread are you using

[@albaluciapinedadiaz8338]

Admiro su trabajo y su creatividad , disculpa en sus próximos proyectos podrías colocar por escrito la lista de materiales cantidad etc soy de Colombia hablo español gracias saludos un abrazo bendiciones

[@Prumihimo]

Gracias por sus amables palabras. Para algunos de mis videos, encontrará un enlace a mi sitio web debajo del video. En mi sitio web encontrará más información.

[@OnedayDesigns]

Could I use E6000 or GS Hypo cement instead of the epoxy?

[@Prumihimo]

Yes you can, but be sure to observe the full drying and curing time, as advised by the manufacturer.

[@10beachwood]

No closeup of the glue products she is describing. Not very helpful

[@Prumihimo]

My aim is to suggest types of glue, rather than individual brands.

[@kimmcspedden5970]

Got my disk today, I just finished my first braid....I love it❤

[@Prumihimo]

Well done. I just know it will be the first of many.
