Kit available in 7 Colorways - Makes one necklace - Includes a 12 Page Manual
This is a great kumihimo project suitable even if it is your first kumihimo project. The 12 page copyrighted manual assumes no prior experience and is easy to follow with step by step directions with lots of pictures. It is a PDF available online. Access to the PDF is included in the kit.
Each kit comes with a pre-cut and ready to braid cord bundle tied together ready to be inserted into the kumihimo disk so you can start braiding right away. It includes hand dyed silk ribbon, metallic accent cords, satin cords, and C-Lon Bead Cord. Three colors of 4mm Magatamas and the toggle clasp are assorted for each colorway.
The length of the finished braided cord is approximately 21 to 23 inches (54-59 cm) long and 6-8 mm in diameter. The 4mm Magatamas add width to the cord bringing it up to 12 mm in diameter. Length vary depending on your braiding style. If you braid very tightly, the braid will be shorter and denser. If you braid very loosely the braid will be softer and longer.
Want to make bracelets? Most of the kits will make double wrap bracelet or several single wrap bracelets > Just get more toggle clasps for the extra bracelets.
For this project, get a Kumihimo Tool Bag with a Mini K-Disk, 8 EZ-Bobs, 1 Weighted EZ-Bob and 1 Mini-Clamp. Plus you will also need a pair of scissors, micro-tip pruning snip, and adhesives to attach the toggle clasp such as Poly Zap Super Glue and either Zap Jewelry Gel or Devcon 5-Minute Epoxy. The larger bag comes with a bead mat, a nice addition to keep your beads from moving. The tutorial is also available by itself HERE.
