[@tyedye571]

I enjoy your tutorials. You have a pleasant voice, you don't subject us to unnecessary chatter, and your instructions are clear and easy to follow. This is a lonely bracelet. I want a Kumihimo disc now. It makes beautiful braids in wire.

[@frasergreenjenjenify]

I love all our designs and enjoy your videos. As usual, you are so generous with your time and I'm truly grateful to you for sharing your generosity with us. Thank you.

[@CSLdesigns]

+fillygreenjen Thank you very much. It really means a lot to me :-)

[@Zolwena]

I do not know if I could ever do this, but if I wanted to try, YOUR video is what I would use to try this! I love watching this! As you talked, you seemed very patient as if you really wanted others to learn from your method! Wow!

This is such a pretty and understated bracelet. Makes it perfect for an everyday bracelet. I love that it is not hard to make at all! I was so worried that I would not be able to make because of the wire, and because I have only made one with the original pattern, and with s-lon. Thank you! Blessings! Lisa

[@connieheydenreich5729]

i love your tutorials you explain it perfect i need to get more wire now thank you i have been doing the round with the satin love it

[@batgurlaqua]

Thank You! your tutorial was easy to follow. I 'm a visual learning type of person and wanted to see how to do the flat braid. I had my kumi disc following step by step.

[@cindysinger8964]

+CSLdesigns Christina, would 24-gauge work as well?

[@CSLdesigns]

Yes, it certainly would :-)

[@cindysinger8964]

+CSLdesigns Thank you.

[@sandramccormick8326]

Kumihimo is something I haven't tried yet. Will keep practising wire wrapping more and then go shopping for these boards 😁 I find it just amazing what you do with wire!!!

[@CSLdesigns]

+Sandra McCormick Thank you. Sounds like a good plan. Once you do get to kumihimo though. I just warn you, it's addictive lol :-P

[@sternentigerkatze]

This looks so great and so easy to make, too! You keep putting things on my ever growing list that I want to try out! (I won't ever have enough time for all of them!) Thank you soo much for another great Tutorial! I really love your accent!

[@CSLdesigns]

+Prinz Mondkatze Thank you very much. Hehe, well I'm sorry about that. At least there is a lot to choose between then ;-P

+suzzie Q No problem and thank you. I'm glad you like it :-)

[@damedesmontagnes]

Beautiful!!!

[@shellyroell6755]

I bought your first kuhimino wire braid book and was wondering if you will have one for the round board?

[@rm7095]

Thank you for the tutorial. Great project and nice looking bracelet. I like that it is unisex.

[@CSLdesigns]

+Rhonda Merson Thank you very much. Yes, I suppose it is unisex. I didn't even think of that :-)

[@palmtreeshenanigans]

Use a light jewellers hammer to compact the bracelet slightly and get the edge straight, don't overdo the hammer part and use very slight force to shape the bracelet a bit more perfectly. Jewellery is all about perfection, straight lines and even curves. If using non enamelled wire, annealing the wire before using it helps make the wire easier to work with as it softens it. Remember when annealing to heat the wire until is starts glowing red but not much past that as it will melt. With raw wire you can use a piece of very fine sandpaper to polish the bracelet, this should harden the wire a lot, helping keeping the shape of the bracelet, but sometimes a softer more forgiving bracelet would feel more comfortable on the wrist, all up to maker's choice.

[@loryacton3945]

I Love this one!!!

[@CSLdesigns]

+Lory Acton Thank you :-)

[@inande]

I'm assuming dead soft wire is used for this since braiding?

[@wishingwut]

I have some square and triangle glass beads with decorations on them and I don't know what i should make them into... Do you have video for them an easy one?

[@marypolicellphone5055]

I love this.

[@CSLdesigns]

+MaryPoli CellPhone Thank you very much :-)

[@robertapascal6962]

I want to try this with 22ga, because it is what I have in blue and silver. I will see if I have two colors in 26ga because I really want to try this now. BUT Will the bracelet be a lot thicker?

[@juliepeck6915]

I absolutely loved your tutorial. Thank you so very much! I'm going to go get supplies and get started asap. I have the wire just not the piece to work with.

[@nikkiwilson7362]

cute bracelet

[@CSLdesigns]

+Nikki Wilson Thank you :-)

[@mbramer1970]

You do amazing work. Can you give us some ideas on how much wire to use for a bracelet. For example: 60cm of wire = ? inches of braid. I want to start making some of these, but really want to cut down on potential waste to minimize cost. It would be extremely helpful to know exactly how much to start with to end up with a desired bracelet length. 7", 8" etc. Thanks, and keep the great ideas coming. :)

[@CSLdesigns]

+Mark Bramer Thank you very much. Not really more than I've already done in the video. I haven't made that kind of specific calculation myself. I have just gotten used how long lengths to use to get an average size bracelet, and you will always have some waste at the ends regardless. But one thing you can do to reduce waste is if you want to make more than one bracelet, work with much longer lengths of wire and just do a continuous braid until you've used all the wire, and then cut the final braid down into sorter lengths. That way you waste a lot less wire :-)

[@kristenblack3930]

beautiful!!

[@CSLdesigns]

+Kristen Black Thank you :-)

[@mokee333]

Love your work. I tried this one and it didn't turn out as nice as yours. Do you have any suggestions for what to do with all the smaller pieces that are left over? Or are they just wasted?

[@SMG_Ca]

More than excellent .thank you

[@CSLdesigns]

+Soheir Ghozzi Thank you very much. That is very kind of you :-)

[@Arantxas47]

you are a biiigg artist

[@CSLdesigns]

+Arantxa Casanova Thank you :-)

[@debrakiger9248]

This is beautiful. What's the length of wire per each?

[@rockguy707]

What gauge of round wire are you using, and is it dead soft or half hard? Thank you Dave

[@whitneybaker9693]

Hello! I love you’re work and I’m just starting to learn kumihimo! I actually just ordered your book! Wondering if you have any tutorials on how to set beads in the center of this weave? Or if that’s even possible? If so, would you please share the link? Thank you so much!

[@delphimichaels164]

Whitney Baker Hi. She has a video called Beaded Wirework Kumihimo Bracelet that is VERY similar that does include beads. The link is kzbin.info/www/bejne/iaazqKRvfJh3sKc. I just happened to watch it a couple vids ago. Good luck!

[@allanpennington]

Is there a name for this braid pattern? Will it work in cord?

[@gert-janrotscheid2549]

does the wire tarnish? This is my first attempt with wire - it this a good bracelet to start with?

[@mddell58]

Gert-Jan Rotscheid No, it does not tarnish. She has a video explaining all of the wire she uses.

[@ahmadar2234]

السلام عليكم .. ممكن تقولي اسم اﻷداه يللي نسجتي بيها أسلاك النحاس

[@tat255987]

could you solder the ends for more security?

[@gailaltschwager7377]

Thank you!

[@cadavrn]

I'm curious...instead of using 32 strands, could you use a larger gage wire (say 1 mm) and get the same effect with only 16 or 8 strands? Going to give it a go, as I have some beautiful purple and green 1 mm wire.

[@moviebuffbabe5651]

i'm curious how this turned out with the larger gauge as I had the same thought :D

[@ceciliamack1195]

On average how long does it take you to do the types of bracelet?

[@Zolwena]

Liked and subscribed!

[@barbnaese]

very nice! what kind of wire is this...aluminum?

[@CSLdesigns]

+barbnaese Thank you. I am using a copper based wire :-)

[@sherrylane5104]

I'm enjoying the wire wrapped tutorials, but am having difficulty with the lengths being used for the 16 wires. Could you tell me how long the lengths are for the Two color flat wire Kumihimo bracelet? You mention 16 lengths of 1 mil each. That is a very tiny bracelet, so I feel I've misunderstood something.

[@barbaragorman738]

The wires are not 1 mil each in length, which is actually one -thousandth of an inch, but meters. Each wire is about one meter long, as she says early in the video.

[@mystellaluminosa]

👍👏grazieeee

[@CSLdesigns]

+mystellaluminosa No problem :-)

[@yanetjaquelinmaganavazquez6975]

Como puedo aserla sino tengo esa reuedita

[@coolkittneon1337]

Mine turned out terrible. :( tips?

[@mawi1172]

My tube of that glue says it takes 48 hrs to dry.

[@cindyklasson371]

How much does your kumihimo weight weigh?

[@CSLdesigns]

+Cindy Klasson The one I used in this is 45-50g :-)
