AudreiseIsHere -Randomness So glad you were able to make one! 😄 I had a hard time finding a tutorial too and ended up having to google and search through random websites! 😂
I don't think the tutorial is terrible at all, I understand everything and I can't wait to do my first kumi bracelet! People who complain need to work out mentally.
Thank you so much for this! I've been wanting to learn how to do the kumi bracelets but the only video I found was a wheel with only 8 slots and you use 7 strings, then move every 3rd string into the free space. And that's the only one I know how to make! You're really good at explaining and teaching so I hope you will decide to do some more videos like this with different patterns! Much love!
This is literally the best tutorial on this I've seen!!!!! I makes it look so easy. Thank you so much! I have a bunch of embroidery thread I want to use up so Im gonna go grab some discs now lol
I prefer to do right down first then left up turn counter clockwise. does this make much of a difference? Is your newer video of this weaving for the pattern K10279? thanks!
Kale I honestly can’t say for sure as I’ve never tried it that way. But I think... I think it should be fine so long as you are consistently doing it right then left every time because your strings still end up in the same spots.
I just finished a kumihimo bracelet that require 40 strings so I made a kumihimo disc of 80 slots, the pattern reads “ I ❤️ U “ came out beautiful, you can find the pattern on www.friendship-bracelets.net on the search bar type in k752 and you will see the pattern.
Can I do that without a wheel ? I already did one simple type of these bracelets with 7 strings and I used to cut 8 cuts a circle of paperboard but I see that if I want to do other patterns I should have more cuts.
I feel like you probably could but it would become a lot to manage and hold in place. The wheel really helps keep the strings from shifting and moving to where they aren’t supposed to be. However, the craft at its core is just braiding. If you try, let me know how it goes!
That pattern is pulled from friendship-bracelets.net where there is a kumihimo pattern generator. The hexagon is broken into ‘slices’ and each slice is broke into two sections. Each section is a different colour that represents a string that you put on your wheel.
Sanjana Rajkumar the patterns I have encountered can be done like this, like the patterns in friendship-bracelets but I know there are kumihimo plates that are square and I know you can even do spirals with kumihimo so I don’t think this is the only way to do it.
How do you finish the closures please? Do you use a button? Can I use a button end? Could you please make a video showing this? please please and thank you
In this video I just tied a knot and made sure the piece was long enough to go around the wrist. You could do a button if you put a loop in the beginning of your strings, or you can do a loop and ties like I did in my other kumihimo video!
@@winningnumbers I do not currently have one as it’s not an ending I typically use. But if you search friendship bracelet button closure it would be the same concept!
This video would be so much easier if you would show the WHOLE WHEEL throughout the whole video so we can see what numbers you're working with!!! I had start over 4 times & finally gave up all together because I kept getting lost and confused!!! If I had to rate this video on 1-10 I'd definitely be giving it no more than a 5!!!! Show the whole wheel!!!!!!
Hey thanks for your comment! This is an old version of this video! I have made an updated one once I had a little more experience recording that shows more of the wheel!
The pattern is only used for the initial positioning of the strings and that’s it. Then you repeat the left up, right down working around the circle! Each segment on the pattern is divided into 2 with each half of the segment representing a string. Hope that helps!
Hi there, I’ve made a newer tutorial with a newer setup where the wheel is more visible. Referencing the numbers on the wheel is useless unless you’re using the exact same wheel as me. Wheels can come in a variety of sizes with a large scope of numbers on them- some don’t even have numbers. I’m sorry you didn’t like my tutorial, but I hope you stick with the craft and find something that does work for you!
Caryn Grant all wheels are different sizes and some don’t even have numbers so referencing the numbers would be completely useless unless you’re using the exact same wheel. I’m sorry you don’t like my tutorial. I hope you don’t give up on the craft and find a tutorial that works for you though 😊
