I am so glad to hear that you are going to give this a try. I really believe that you will enjoy it and like what you create! It is so portable. I braid while watching TV. I have even used old string that I found in my junk drawer. It turned out to make a nice 16 inch necklace. It's unique and is now one of my favorites. Good Luck and have fun with it. There are a lot of ideas on the internet, too.

Great tutorial! It was clear and easy to follow. Plus the examples at the end were absolutely exquisite!

Thank you so much, Rosie! I had written instructions and they just confused me so badly. Your explanation of right/left helped tremendously!

This is the best demo / tutorial on kumihimo I've seen. I especially liked your hint for how to stop / pause. Thank you!

Great video. Very easy to understand and I love the handy hint about leaving the three cords at the bottom so you know where you've stopped. Great job! Thanks!!

You are a really clear instructor! TY.

Здравствуйте! Спасибо вам больше за такое ясное и приятное видео! Благодаря вам заинтересовалась в этой теме и уже плету красивые браслеты ❤

Thanks bunches! I always thought it was difficult, but the way you explained it was easy to understand & made it a joy to learn. 🥰

Thank you Rosie sooooo much. You made this so easy that anyone can understand, and thanks for showing your beautiful pieces. You've raised my interest in kumihimo that looked at one time so boring.

Excellent demo RubberStampRosie. You are a wonderful teacher! Thank you for the lesson.

You are a fabulous teacher - Thank You !!!

So simple, you made it clear. Such a beautiful braid from a simple technique. Thanks

Wow, thank you Rosie, for making it so simple. I had purchased a disc a few months ago but kinda' intimidated to start, and wasn't sure what types of material I could use. Now I know I have some materials around the house I can use to get started, and know how much it takes. I can't wait to make something !

Thank you so much for your video. I just bought the Kumihimo Braiding disk, and your video was the first one I clicked on. Your instructions were clear and I could see everything you were doing very well. In a little over an hour I had my first bracelet made. Since I had such good results I am encouraged me to keep working with the KBD. Thank-you again for the great video.

thanks for this helpful video and we can spread the love by making more friendship bracelets for our loved ones. And appreciating what a bracelet does as it symbolizes the meaning of bonding together. Cheers to all avid bracelets makers

Yes. I would agree that this sound IS very soothing. Good luck with your braiding and selling. Wishing you the best!

Thanks very much for a very good tutorial! I'm a beginner and tonight was my very first time I tried to bind on my newly bought Kumihimo (round) board.

Thank you for such an instructive video - I have really enjoyed making my first braid watching your video.

Thank you so much! This was my first try and you were my first instructor :) Can't wait to learn how to do more.

Miss Rosie, I just received my first braiding disk today, and this is the first tutorial I've watched! Apart from your adorable accent, you gave clear and encouraging instruction that is far better than what is provided with the disk!! Thank you so much. Your new fan, Shaz

Thank U Sooo Much Rosie! U working instruction is very good,& ur finished pieces are Sooo Pretty! Lovely! Keep me posted for new ideas. Bye!

Thanks for a great tutorisl, very clear. Had to research cause other videos confused me. Yours really worked great for me first time. I was so afraid. Now so excited. Another hobby I didn't need but I have all these beads and craft so a new way to use things I have. Again going to watch all your videos.

Thank you so much Rosie for this tutorial. I bought a couple of the different sizes of the looms but never really understood how to do this, Can't wait to try it. Great video

I just found you and can't wait to try this. You explained things so that I think I could even do this

Thank you very much for your easy tutorial of Kumihimo.Now I finally understand!Good work!

Hi Thanks for the Demo I have just bought a Kumihimo bracelet kit I loved the idea of using crochet cotton as I have a large stash. Once again Thank you

Thank you so much for a super tutorial. Your explanation is very clear and well paced. Am going to try this craft.

I am really glad I could help demonstrate how to braid on the loom. It is very relaxing once you get going. I hope you enjoy this and am sure you will be happy with your braids!

Thanks for the reply about the numbers. I may not even think about tackling more than 8 strands for a while, lol. I'm having so much fun using different color cords. Amazing how the number of colors and position of them on the loom make a difference.

Hi Rosie this video was really helpful. At my school we are trying to raise money for a trip that costs £200 and that's allot of money in dollars i wanted to sell bracelets and i searched bracelet making and this was really helpful i purchased a kumihimo disk and it is really easy and after we go i can make friendship bracelets for me and my friends .

Saw another video on this & it looked realy complicated ... but now i understand how it's done as you make it look so simple . thank you .

Beautiful and simple, thank you for sharing. I think this will be one to add to my project list.

This technique is beautiful and so easy to do that is unbelievable!!!!

SO Glad you tried it! Congratulations and hope you enjoy making more!

It looks so complicated when you look at the finished product, but then it's just that simple to do! I like it :)

Well Impressed, You have made this really easy to understand, and in great detail. On some that I have already seen yours is 200% Brilliant . Thank you so very much and So looking forward to seeing your other projects , as it states Show More. XX

this is the most simplest video made about this!! thank you!! going to try and make one someday

I've been searching this for a bit to long lol, and this is literally the first tutorial that actually made any sense!! thank youuuuu

Hi! Thanks for this kind comment and also for the correct pronunciation. I really appreciate it. I tried saying it as you explained and it does sound so much more authentic!

Thanks, I looked at her videos and now trying it with beads. So many possibilities.

I have been doing Kumihimo bracelets and keychains for a couple of year now, and I am starting to make money with it by having big orders. Currently I am doing an order of 50 bracelets for someone, and they are all different. I enjoy using the embroidery floss because it is monetarily more in my ballpark and also, I just like the look of it. I like the satin cord ones also but have not made many of them. Your video is great for helping first time braiders. Its nice to meet you :)

You explain this so well! I love it!!!

Hi! Thanks for your kind comment and questions. Yes, you can use craft thread and embroidery floss, but the braid will be much thinner and more flexible. As far as using more strings than eight, I have not tried it yet, but I think there are some KZfaq videos on this. Good luck in your braiding!

Thanks! You've made the basics very clear; lovely projects, too. :)

Justy got my kumihimo disks, both the round and square ones, looking forward to making some things with them. Thanks for the simple lesson, even I could follow this :)

I bought a disc years ago, haven't really had a chance to use it - I probably will after watching your video!

I love trying different kinds of crafts, and this looks really fun and the results are pretty. I'll try it as soon as I can get a loom for it. Thanks for the tutorial! :)

Thank you for making this so easy to learn. Please show us more with different amounts of strands & or colors. AWESOME!!

Great video. This helped me a lot to get started. When I bought my kid I had put too many strings on it which had me so confused lol. At least now I can get a basic cord done before trying something else. Thank you for this video.

Rosie....Great tutorial! Easily understood and clear instructions. You necklaces and pendants are lovely, too. Thanks much and I look forward to future videos from you. :)

Thank You! Glad you can use this. It is a very relaxing activity and I see more and more ideas for using these braids here on KZfaq. Enjoy!

I've seen these things in the craft shop and could not for the life of me work out what you did with them. I will need to have a go at this soon.

Thanks for posting this video, it inspired me to try kumihimo and now I'm totally addicted to it! :)

Thank you so much for sharing this excellent, very clear tutorial!! :D

Clear and concise, thank you.

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! My daughter got something similar to this for Christmas and I have been trying to figure this darn thing out. U made it so so easy to understand. *hugs* Thank you again!

Glad to hear of your success. You are doing great with all of the bracelet and keychain orders. I like them as keychains too! Often, I make them in bright colors, so that I can find my keys in my purse! Continued good luck to you!

This was great! Now I can start making my own braided obijime!

Everything is beautiful!

Glad to hear this! It is very relaxing!

I love this video! Thank you so much for your help

Excellent video, thank you. I just discovered this type of weaving and its so cool!

Thank You! I really hope you try this. It is fun and addicting. You can use anything that you already have around the house and use up odds and ends and create some really nice braids!

Madame, you've just earned another subscriber, and let me tell you something: It's not actually true there's no Kumihimo instructors/teachers around. You made me your student. Looking forward to future videos and tutorials, I say good bye to you, your voice is so smooth and calming that it really conforts me.

Thank you soooo much!!! Love the music @ the end too!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Thank you for the wonderful, easy to follow video.

Just tried a braid following your lovely easy tutorial, thanks. Hugs

I LOVE YOUR WORK AN INSTRUCTION YOU MAKE IT SO EASY...THANKS

Agreed! This is a very well done tutorial--easy to understand, very clear and methodical! And your finished pieces are gorgeous! Beautiful beaded and wired pendants too! Thank You so much!! (by the way, correct pronunciation--rather than 'kumi-himo' is actually 'ku-mi-hi-mo' stronger emphasis on 'mi' and 'hi')

Beautiful work Rosie....thanks for sharing

Hi Linda! Thanks for your kind and encouraging words. I am still experimenting with Kumihimo braids.I hope you enjoy it!

WOW! Yes, this will add to your many crafting interests! Enjoy!

What a great informative video! Thank you!

Thanks! It is very relaxing to do and fun to try different fibers and different colors! Enjoy!

Thank you for sharing. Happy New Year and stay safe.

Thanks for making it easier to understand.

Thank you. you have explained it so well.....now I will have a go...

Thank you RubberStampRosie now I have more choices to do on my free time other than knitting, crochet, needlepoint, quilting, and latch-hooking.

Thanks for the tutorial, Rosie!

Thank you for this tutorial!!!

I loved this so much that I made a cardboard wheel and made 2 bracelets...thank you so much :)

Thanks for sharing this! You've made some beautiful items! I'm going to have to find one of these & have a go as i have lost my motivation for my beaded jewelry! :)

Oh, also, I use the spools to keep my string from tangling when I do large orders of the same style, and my fiancee said that the sound of them 'banging' together is very soothing. I seem to always help him fall asleep when I do it before bed. :)

I have seen the bobbins recently at Hobby Lobby. Thanks for sharing.

Just watched this... Makes sense now! thank you so much.. will go and have another go.... now that I know how to do it properly.. !!

Glad to hear this! Crochet thread works very well with Kumihimo. Enjoy!

Thank you for this kind comment! Good Luck with the fund raising! Wishing you every success and a wonderful trip!

I'm digging out all my crochet cotton that is too tiny to crochet with now that I have old eyes! Thanks very much for the examples! I bought several balls of the boutique yarns and never liked any thing I started with it. So much cord so little time lol!

Hi Rosie! thanks for this tutorial, it is very helpful for beginners like me! keep the good work and have a nice weekend. Linda

Very nice, thank you for the video!

Thank you for showing the kumihimo process. I had a disc from a different manufacturer, and the weaving was done opposite from kumihimo's, so I could never get the patterns I saw online to work up properly.

Rosie, you Rock! Thank you.

I found you're video very easy to follow thank yo so much

kzfaq.info/get/bejne/apdze9yb2Ju-gI0.html This is the link to a tutorial on how to make the bead collage pendants shown in this video....by request. Thanks for watching. More to come.

you have done awesome work

Thank You! Glad to hear this!

Yes, and relaxing too!

Thanks! You made my day!!

thanx for showing me how to use this because i recieved a gift for my birthday yesterday that had this in it as a braiding wheel with instructions but i didn't get the instructions so this video really helped. THANX again

Great! Wish there was tutorial on the hardware.
