KUMIHIMO JEWELRY KITS
Kumihimo projects are great on the go. Leave one in your car just in case you have to wait somewhere. Take them on planes, to the beach, or to sit in front of the TV... Kumihimo while watching sports events... Most of these projects have very comprehensive instructions making them accessible even if you have never braided before. Only the Bead Cluster Kumihimo Kit is recommended for braiders with some experience. The PIP Bracelets are the newest kumihimo kit and tutorial. |

CROWN KNOTTING & FIBER ENDINGS BRACELET KIT & TUTORIAL
Crown knotting is a great alternative to pearl knotting for stringing beads as the knots are completely symmetrical. It is the best method for stringing antique beads with larger and irregular holes. Marion came up with the idea of using a kumihimo disk to assist in tying the knots - it makes the process much easier. The fiber endings creates a completely integrated clasp and can also be used for kumihimo braids. |

CROCHET KITS
The tubular bead crochet starter jig and tutorial, designed by Studio Dax is the best way to start bead crochet ropes. Beginning bead crochet rope is difficult, frustrating and often the learning curve is too steep for beginners. Studio Dax came up with this tool and method after trying to teach bead crochet ropes the traditional way. The Starter Jig and Tutorial has helped beginners and professional alike overcome this hurdle. I had given up on tubular bead crochet until I tried this method. The tutorial also shows how to make the a bracelet with a center focal bead. As of March 2021, you will get access to 14 short video demonstrations with ovefr 50 minutes of instruction showing the StudioDax process, plus how to add a cord, connect segments and bracelet ends with an invisible joint. |
