About the Book

Kumihimo crafting is a delightful journey into the world of braiding and beading, and I can't help but share my enthusiasm for this ancient Japanese art form. When I first stumbled upon kumihimo, I was captivated by the intricate designs and vibrant colors that seemed to dance together in harmony. It felt like a good blend of creativity and mindfulness, allowing me to escape the hustle and bustle of daily life. To get started, you'll need a few essential tools: a kumihimo disk, some cord (I prefer satin or nylon for their durability), and beads if you want to add a personal touch. The kumihimo disk is a circular tool with notches that help guide your cords. I remember the first time I used it; I was a bit intimidated, but once I got the hang of it, I found it incredibly user-friendly. Begin by cutting your cords to the desired length-typically, I use about four times the length of the finished braid. Secure the cords in the notches of the disk, and you're ready to start braiding. The basic technique involves moving the outer cords into the center, alternating sides. It's a rhythmic process that can be quite meditative. I often find myself lost in thought, the repetitive motion calming my mind. As you gain confidence, consider incorporating beads. This adds a unique flair to your creations. I remember my first attempt at beading; it was a bit clumsy, but the end result was so rewarding. Just thread the beads onto your cords before you start braiding, and watch how they transform your piece. Don't be afraid to experiment with different patterns and colors. I've found that mixing textures and shades can lead to stunning results. There are countless tutorials online, and I often collaborate with fellow crafters to share tips and tricks. Social media platforms are a treasure trove of inspiration, and I love seeing how others interpret this craft. Lastly, remember that goodion isn't the goal. Embrace the little imgoodions; they add character to your work. Each piece tells a story, reflecting your journey as a crafter. So grab your tools, let your creativity flow, and enjoy the process of kumihimo crafting!
