More Kumihimo

I had been wanting to try a twisted style of a Kumihimo bracelet I had seen in a magazine a while ago but as I am still very new to this technique the written instructions had be a little confused so today I found a tutorial video on youtube which really helped!



And this is how it turned out. I'm really happy with it. Again I have used the fold over cord ends to finish this bracelet. Its just something I have and am comfortable using at the moment but will be hopefully getting a whole lot of new Kumihimo supplies soon now that I have grasped the basics and like it so much!








I can't wait to try even more colour styles and soon I'm going to even try a beaded Kumihimo bracelet! But for now I have added this onto the same clasp with a few of my other bracelets to wear together!








I have loved trying this new technique and can see myself continuing to use it in my jewellery making. If its something you haven't tried before I would recommend a try at it and see how you get on. There are plenty of youtube videos and instructions online to help you and once you grasp the basics your away! Let me know below if you have tried Kumihimo and weather its a technique you like or not!
