Kumihimo isn't just for bracelets
Watch this useful tutorial and learn how to make simple 8 strand kumihimo braids!
There are so many possibilities to explore using different shapes and sizes of seed beads. From simple braids like the examples of kumihimo above, to creating intricate loomed designs with delicate patterns across the surface. These brilliant seed bead shapes can all be used alongside smaller round seed beads and larger glass beads such as faceted round fire polish or bicones.
Make note of the brand of seed beads you're choosing as you plan out your designs. The different shaped beads made by Par Puca will slot together perfectly, as will different Preciosa beads such as pip beads, twin hole beads and farfalle beads.
