hiya, just wanted to ask, are you using a 1mm size rattail cord? thanks :)
@cocoliso853 12 жыл бұрын
Please.... I always buy from you guys (Campeche, Mexico), you need to post a video about the whole project. I have way too many questions! haha. For example: What size is the rattail you are using? Are those seed beads you used? What size can fit rattail?? I so need those! and the focal bead, I have searched your site for hours and cant find it. PLEASE!! Post the products used and/or the video to this necklace. We will be sooooo thankful....well, at least I will be ;)

Thanks for the video. It's very clear and simple. I can't figure out what the stick you said you used to applying the glue. Toothpicks don't really work well for me. The tool you used looks perfect for me. Please tell me what it is and where I can pick one up. Thanks

would this work for a horse hair bracelet? or is the hair to slick?
@beadaholique 8 жыл бұрын
+aknbreeza Good question and unfortunately I do not know the answer. I have never worked with horse hair before but my instinct says it might work just would require more precision and paying attention to all the loose ends.

How do you finish the ends if you want put both ends in 1 finding then add a dangle to it? I have been trying to find a video on KZfaq on how to do that but I can't find 1.

Hi Becky, I don't think we've ever made a kumihimo bracelet with a single non-opening connector. We do have a video on how to add a large bale with a charm loop to a kumihimo project though, which can get you part of the way to that look kzfaq.info/get/bejne/hq-df8xpq5uwqn0.html

Thank you for sharing! It seems like the glue would attach the tape or the tie off threads to the end cap What keeps the braid from just pulling out since only the tiny fraying ends are actually glued into the tip of the endcap?
@beadaholique 7 жыл бұрын
What makes the hold strong is that the cords act like a wick and draw the E6000 adhesive up into the weave as it dries, so it's not just holding the tips of the cords but a little beyond. We've still got several of our favorite older kumi pieces from five or six years ago around the office and they're holding together just fine when worn or used for photography here. That said, while the tape saves a lot of time, hassle, and mess when fitting the cord ends into the findings you could try removing the tape just before fitting the ends into the findings if you want an even more secure hold.

How do you put both ends together in 1 end cap?
@beadaholique 3 жыл бұрын
Hey Becky, I'm not sure I follow what you're asking. Are you looking for an end cap with two sockets that would let you glue in both ends of a braid to make a permanently closed loop? I've never seen one like that.
