| Kumihimo is perfect for on-the-go projects. Once the kumihimo disk is set up and beads are loaded, keep a project in your car just in case you have to wait somewhere, or take it with you on planes and to the beach. Braid while watching TV. The kits come with detailed and comprehensive instructions, making them accessible to beginners. Some kits, like the last 3 kits, are better as a second project after you already completed another kumihimo project. The projects in this kumihimo section are arranged by degree of complexity from simpler to more complex. | |||

| CROWN KNOTTING & FIBER ENDINGS BRACELET KIT & TUTORIAL Crown knotting is an excellent alternative to pearl knotting for stringing beads. The knots are symmetrical and have a larger ratio, making them the best method for stringing antique beads with large and irregular holes. I discovered that using a kumihimo disk to assist in tying the crown knots makes the process much easier. So, this is the method taught in this tutorial. Additionally, the fiber-endings create a fully integrated clasp; this design approach can also be used for other techniques, such as kumihimo braids or micro macrame. |

| TUBULAR BEAD CROCHET STARTER JIG + TUTORIAL + VIDEOS 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 can be difficult and frustrating, and the learning curve is often too steep for beginners.

This tutorial also shows how to make the bracelet with a center focal bead. As of March 2021, you will get access to 14 short video demonstrations with over 50 minutes of instruction showing the StudioDax process, plus how to add a cord, connect segments, and create bracelets with invisible joints. |
