Kumihimo Crazee!!

I am soooo excited about the new items in my shop...KUMIHIMO DISKS!!! I have 2 kinds of disks available now...
the round one...

and the square one but i don't have a picture for that yet...

I also have some very nice cotton thread cords for beautiful kumihimo creatios lie these bracelets ...

here is what it looks like closeup...

I have the materials needed to complete a bracelet like the ones above...

I used these cotton cords (double up to make each strand thicker)...just look at the all colors i have available... YUMMY!!!







Of course...you would also need end cord caps... for now i just have this one kind available...in 3 sizes
cords that will fit 6mm, 8mm and 11mm cords..

and finally you would need locks to finish up your bracelets...here are a few cute toggle locks...
flowers..

and here are some heart toggle locks ...perfect for valentines...

don't forget your other findings such as headpins or eyepins and jumprings...
and of course the glue to secure your end caps (I use either e-6000 or a two part epoxy glue which i like because it dries much faster!!) 

When you have all these supplies..you can sit yourself down and ease into the rhythmic, relaxing braiding sessions of the Japanese art of braiding...Kumihimo!!!

Have Fun!!!
