[@SilentNoMore64]

Csldesigns, you are the most dedicated jewelry maker I know. I have seen you all over Pinterest, and I love and admire the way you go the extra mile to share your work and your patterns. You are truly one in a million, and my all time favorite youtuber!!!!

[@Bagheera23608]

What a wonderfully detailed project. This could easily be something you could have charged for. How nice of you to put it out there for free. Can't wait to try one!

[@croshaylady4031]

I have read the instructions for an eight string braid but I just couldn't see it in my mind. Someone recommended I watch you on KZbin. So easy!! Now that you showed the process to us on KZbin!! Thank you so much!

[@CSLdesigns]

+Charlotte Dougherty You're very welcome and thank you very much. I'm really glad it was helpful :-)

[@rosemartin4702]

I love your patterns. Thank you so much for sharing your lovely and creative designs with us.

[@chelseaduke7288]

I’ve watched a few of your videos now, and I got to say you’re very talented! Thank you for sharing the tutorials ❤️

[@judith8161]

Beautiful... watching your tutorials is just so inspiring! Plus, the way you explain things makes me feel like this isn't rocket science but something I could actually do myself. Thank you!

[@lizmed4]

Awesome! Try it on nylon elastic cord. You love them! Recently i brought this bracelets in nylon elastic cord (maybe 0.5mm or 0.8mm) with glass beads (rondelles 6mm ) in all colors! Without claps, only elastic nylon cord. Looks awesome.

[@arawen72]

Absolutely awesome. Very clear instructions. Thank you so much for sharing. I can't wait to make it.

[@CSLdesigns]

Julianna Hollenbeck Thank you very much. I'm really glad it was helpful :-)

[@colorada3938]

Thanks for showing how to make this wonderful bracelet.

[@catherinehayer6269]

I've made this three or four times now. Really great tutorials and this one makes a particularly pretty bracelet. I may have to try making a longer version as a necklace :)

[@CSLdesigns]

+Catherine Hayer Thank you so much. Yes, making a longer version for a necklace for instance would be nice I think :-)

[@judithmcknight8914]

I made this last night and I loved how it came out! Great tutorial. Looking now for more of your designs

[@whoseeswho]

you really really explain this so well. thank you!

[@jusuiselisabeth]

Such a nice person to give a detailed description. Will visit yur Etsy site to purchase your kit.

[@msbratt55]

Great description. Beautiful bracelet. Thank you!!

[@wabowers51]

I love this bracelet, it's beautiful! Thanks for sharing!

[@CSLdesigns]

Wendy Bowers No problem and thank you :-)

[@CSLdesigns]

To Sofia Gomes. I hope you get this as I can't seem to reply straight to you. No problem and thank you. I would think that size 9/0 seed beads would work just as well. They are just ever so slightly smaller, so the final length of the bracelet will be a little bit smaller, but I can't imagine too much. You could always extend it a little at each end with that colour if you need to. But the pattern itself would be the same yes. I hope that was helpful :-)

[@SofiaGomesPT]

CSLdesigns Thanks you for the help! :D A hug from Portugal! :D

[@kizmit6545]

You are such a great teacher coming from a former teacher! Very inspiring to say the least. I have a question for you I have a ton of 3 mm Swarovski crystals : do you think I can use them to make this type of bracelet ?thank you very much fran

[@elim3986]

As usuall beautiful. Thanks for video🌺

[@ephitania]

@CSLdesigns You are truly gifted. Your pieces are absolutely beautiful. This particular piece caught my eye and I wanted to purchase one of your kits but they are sold out. will you be making anymore? Or have I missed out?

[@CSLdesigns]

+ephitania Thank you very much. Yes, I am currently sold out, but I'm working on getting some more together, so they should hopefully be available again soon :-)

[@marystoddard9138]

Very pretty . I want to make one or two.

[@CSLdesigns]

Mary Stoddard Thank you. That sounds great :-)

[@marialawler7392]

Beautiful hope mine comes out as good as yours.

[@CSLdesigns]

maria lawler Thank you very much. I'm sure it will ;-)

[@cindybrook0520]

Beautiful bracelet. I love how you blended the colors. Have you ever finished a kumihimo with macrame or some other kind of knotting instead of bead caps? I'd love to learn how to do that.

[@CSLdesigns]

Cindy Brook Thank you very much. No I haven't yet, but I have actually been playing around with some ideas in my head along those lines, so watch this space ;-)

[@cindybrook0520]

CSLdesigns I have seen it done, but have not tried it. I'm going to try this bracelet and use macrame to close it off. Good luck to me, ha ha, since I'm so new to kumihimo braiding!

[@alaredhead1]

Hi from Birmingham, Alabama, USA! I would like to know what the approximate size of this beautiful bracelet is, based on the amount of beads/S-Lon you indicate we need to finish the Kumihimo portion of this bracelet?

[@catronautorin356]

Really good explanation!!

[@Beaware427]

I watch all your videos and you are amazing. I love your work. Question, as it is first try at kumihimo, can you use wire instead of cord?

[@marykayewaterson6771]

Hi! I made this tonight - it's gorgeous. It's also a little short, by maybe a half inch. How do I increase the length and keep the color ratios the same? I thought about adding one bead to each color group on each thread but it seems like that might be too much. Math is not my strong suit LOL. Help?

[@elainewilliams6456]

Just received my kit and am already to start. I have always done “Bottom left UP, Top right Down”, turn counter clockwise and do the same... I have read and reread your instructions and video and for the life of me can not figure out which cords to change...Starting with cord between 16-17 as cord ONE etc.. which ones do I switch to do it the way I mentioned above.. thank you.

[@pollypagan1]

hi. lovely bracelet. thanks for sharing it. I was thinking it would be nice to extend it by repeating the pattern a few times to make a necklace. would you mind telling me how to thread the beads so that the red and the blue could blend together like the other colours do. I've been driving myself mad trying to work it out!...with no success. thanks again

[@charlenebrown1357]

Hi, I would love to make this into a necklace. What would be the bead count for that?

[@ladybugg69]

Just curious how long start the finish does it take you to make this?

[@ivetteespinal2006]

Thank you so much for the video. I made this bracelet and it came out awesome. I have a question for you, How can I extend the pattern to make a necklace? I'll really apreciate your help on this.

[@CSLdesigns]

ivette espinal No problem. That's great. It really depends how you want it to look. You could either extend the individual sections of colours by adding extra beads in them, or you could continue the pattern as it is but in reverse so it goes from red to purple and then continues from the purple back to the red and so on, until it has the length you want it to be. I hope that was helpful :-)

[@ivetteespinal2006]

CSLdesigns I'll try your first sugestion. Thank you very much. Greetings from the Dominican Republic.

[@MondritaOde]

Hi, what should be the length of each strip and how would be the distribution of the stones if I wanted to make it a necklace?

[@kaykaygirls3145]

can I use 4lb tests fishing linn instead of cord?

[@marystoddard9138]

The web site you listed has a different size thread than you said?

[@albaluciapinedadiaz8338]

Gracias por compartir, disculpa en.proximos videos podrías colocar por escrito cuántas rocalla van en.cada hilo por favor saludos desde Colombia un abrazo

[@andreianal5546]

Can you post a link to the seed beads?

[@crazywolf013]

Not sure if you answered this in a pervious comment already, but how do you figure out the ratio of beads on each string? Like if I wanted to do the rainbow pattern but longer?

[@redbird1965]

crazywolf013 I am wondering the same thing

[@angiedj62]

Hi. I'm just starting Kumihimo and want to try a beaded design. All I have are 6/0 and 10/0 beads. Can I use 6/0 beads for this bracelet or will they be too big? Will I have to change the bead count? I love how well explained your tutorials are.

[@pamelaquintana8622]

Hola,me encantó esta pulsera, muchas gracias por compartir...una pregunta... Alguien me podría explicar en español cuántas pelotitas o cuencas se ponen en los hilos? Se ve que no tienen las mismas cantidades de colores en cada hilo..porfa

[@suscpay]

Hello, I love this bracelet and want to learn how to make it. I would like to purchase the kit but does it also include the numbered disk ? I looked for your Etsy shop but was unable to find it. Is it DSL Designs or some other name?

[@ritab8248]

Beautiful bracelet! Thanks so much for the tutorial. Where is a good online source to purchase beads?

[@Ahmeed-mm8xl]

انا من مصر وبصراحه اشغالك كالها ماشاء الله الله اكبر لكى جزيل الشكر ويارب اقدر اعمل ولو واحده

[@Angela-Ruby]

I was wondering why the first pair contains 40 beads and the remaining pairs are only 39? Is that correct? Also I want to try this w 4mm bicone crystals and need to shorten the pattern quite a bit as the crystals are a bit larger than seed beads. How do you recommend I do this? Thankyou

[@rainforestcrafts3766]

Hi Christina, I am really enjoying all your kumihimo tutorials, thankyou! I was wondering if there is any way to make a kumihimo bracelet on the round disk or square 'disk' using those square and round plastic letter beads to spell someone's name out? Thanking you, :-)

[@SofiaGomesPT]

Beatiful bracelet! Thanks for sharing! :) This project is for size 8/0 seed beads... but i can only find 9/0 seed beads. In this case the pattern is the same?

[@xyz7572]

Sofia Gomes with smaller beads the finished bracelet will be slightly smaller/shorter, with bigger beads the finished bracelet will be slightly bigger/longer

[@gmindlis]

Hi, if I wnat to make a shorter one for my grandaughter, where do i put less beads?Or if I want to make a necklace how many beads do I need to add? thnak you very much for this awesome bracelet

[@CSLdesigns]

+Graciela Mindlis You're welcome and thank you. To make it shorter you could either take a few beads of each end, depending on how much shorter you need it. Or you could take a few beads off each coloured section to still keep them even. For a necklace it really depends how long you want it to be. You could either extend each coloured section or you could 'repeat' the bracelet over and over again so you have multiple rainbow sections that blend into each other. I hope that helped :-)

[@gmindlis]

+Graciela Mindlis thank you very much fron Buenos Aires, Argentina

[@TheCHF92]

Its so nice

[@CSLdesigns]

+TheCHF92 Thank you very much :-)

[@kamanisauc2152]

how big is this bracelet?

[@alaredhead1]

Sorry to be a bother again, but I just went to the link you provided re: purchasing the Kit on Etsy. The description reads that the Kit bracelet measures approx. 7" and "upward by using the extender chain.Does the 7" measurement you give in the description include the end caps and clasp? I have a "baby" wrist (size 5) and am trying to determine just how much of each color I will need to decrease and still maintain of the beautiful design you have created. IE, how long is just the "beaded" portion of the bracelet? Many thanks in advance, Viki

[@cathymilson4386]

Great Video! Thanks! I move the cords right down first and turn the disk to the left. In what order would II set up the beads on each cord? Thanks!

[@CSLdesigns]

Cathy Milson Thank you. If you basically flip over the positioning of the cords on your disc, so you end up starting with the same cord that I did in the video. So if you imagine holding a mirror in front of your disc and then that will be the setup, if that makes sense. I hope that helps :-)

[@cathymilson4386]

Thanks so much for the fast reply! Looking forward to making this in the rainbow pattern, I just love it! Thanks so much for sharing this video! :-)

[@CSLdesigns]

No problem. Glad I could help :-)

[@kasiamuzyczna]

Hello :) How many beads are in one package? Btw, I love ur jewellery :)

[@lucybaptista9928]

Buenas tardes amiga me podría envíame o dame los colores que colocas porque no los puedo apreciar muy bien busque en tu blog pero no aparece gracias

[@teressa7666]

How long is the bracelet?

[@CSLdesigns]

S Soutache It measures 7 inches in length without the extender chain :-)

[@SvetlanaOstrovskaya27]

Dear sweet girl - thank you so much for the work you doing here for us. I wanted to send a PM with my question, but maybe someone else is interested in the same thing, too. I'm impressed how easy you are with these braids, and my question might look a little stupid for you, but could you, please, help? I'd like to make a braid (for a necklace) with just 2 colors, but I need them to transfer from one into another gradually. If it's not too much bother for you, I'd be really happy to get an advice how to place the beads for this braid. Thank you again for your patience, kindness, and generosity. Big hugs and wishes for your talents never fade away.

[@cleonicepereira6647]

lindo parabéns

+Cleonice Pereira Thank you :-)

[@cleonicepereira6647]

Bom dia Amei muito lindo parabéns obrigado

[@Rmeyer1226]

This is a beautiful project, but the number of beads was far too long for a bracelet. finished piece was 8.5 inches long.

[@marykayewaterson6771]

What size bead did you use? I just made this and it's just short of 6inches; I just asked her, above, how to lengthen it. She used size 8/0 seed beads for this.

[@Rmeyer1226]

I thought I used 8/0, but perhaps it was 6/0. I think the different brands of seeds beads are also different in size.

[@marykayewaterson6771]

Yes, you can't go by the brand name alone. And it's next to impossible to find 8/0s in the stores - I had to order mine.

[@Rmeyer1226]

That was probably the problem. I just ordered some 8/0s, so I'll give it another try. I'll use the longer one...add a chain and make a necklace. It really is a pretty pattern.

[@marykayewaterson6771]

Then you'll have the bracelet to go with! :)

[@carmenrosario398]

Muy bonito pero hablas demasiado.

[@ArgentumBombus]

why are you speaking forever before beading? It gets boring and as you just speak and not really show it's difficult to understand.

[@SvetlanaOstrovskaya27]

She never tells anything extra - her explanations are full and meaningful - lots of people appreciate it. You are so rude and selfish. Why wouldn't you try to make a one meaningful tutorial once? Then you'll never say any bad word to people who makes them for you because it's hard and time consuming work. BTW, smart people know how to move the video to the place that is needed, too.
