Thank you for helping this 57 year old how to use a kumihimo! I love the way you teach.

I am not a teacher, but seriously, this is the tutorial I needed! I especially loved the hints about how to figure out where you are and keeping the strings untangled. Thank you!!

You are such a gifted natural teacher! FYI your "pretzel" knot is officially a single overhand knot. It is also half of a reef knot. Love your style and this video has inspired me to take up a new craft (because you can never gave 2 many crafts)! I furst learned how to make braid from a medieval re-enacter at a history event in bonnie Scotland. She had card circles or octogons with 8 notches and 7 strands knotted like yours. She took the strand 3 notches from the space to the space, crossing 2 strands. Move circle/octogon card clockwise or anticlickwise (it doesnt matter button keep the pattern, keep rotating in same direction), and repeat many many times. This summer I learned about card weaving which can be used to make a flat braid, say for a medieval belt with more complicated patterns.

"you're never too late to learn" this is something I'm going to learn and teach to my siblings cousins, and future kids lol. it looks so relaxing and a stress reliever.

It has been very well explained and even motivated me in the age of 62 as a meditation ,listening music gona creative hoby for me.

Wow! Thank you for generously sharing this fun-looking project! I'm a silk painter and I think I'm going to dye some silk pieces, then make a silk cord in this way to add onto my silk scarves! The cord's colors will match or complement the colors that I've painted on the scarf. Thank you! You seem like you're a fun teacher and one of those teacher's that a student can learn so much from! Your students are very blessed to have you as a teacher. I know I could never teach in school! God Bless 😃

Thankyou SO much! I have done this is AGES, I’m an older person, I found your teaching methods FANTASTIC! I can now make more sense of my Japanese kit I got years ago. You can use embroidery thread or even say 4ply cotton for bracelets. I find a cotton thread is not only easier to work with but makes a sleeker finish. But I get why you use yarn in class, it’s cheaper etc. Thanks for teaching an old doggy new tricks👏🫶🤗

I make medieval clothes & need to make this kind of braid for a kamakura period project- this is literally the perfect tutorial and so clear! I can't wait to try it out.

Really well done tutorial. I've watched a lot of videos on the kumihimo basics. You were easy to follow and gave lots of great tips, some I had to learn on my own by playing since none of the other videos explained it as well as you. I'm 63 and really enjoy the weaving part (not loading the beads so much) and I'm excited to incorporate kumihimo braids into my needle bead woven jewelry designs. I shared your video on Facebook for my friends with kids. Thanks for sharing.

This is truly the easiest kumihimo tutorial I have seen, and in 10 minutes, I started my own bracelet! Thank you for the video!

I admire a teacher with method - You've made the top of the list. Thanks

I heard the word Kumihimo for the very first time today and was lucky to find your tutorial. Thank you so much to share how to make Kumihimo. I am sewing and was looking for matching strings for hoodies and the likes. No need to search any more! Thank you!

Thank you for making this wonderful and easy to follow tutorial. You made it fun and easy to learn. My granddaughter is going to love making these. You’re an excellent teacher! ❤

Very great explained even for absolute beginners - and you can make all the necessary utensils yourself ✨✨🤩🤩

Excellent presentation! This is exactly what I need to make to add decorative interest to a puppy sweater I am knitting! Thank you!

You are a great teacher...thank you

You are such a good teacher, thank you 🙏💚

Great war of explaining - thank for the details on possible mistakes and color patterns!! 😊

Absolutely brilliant - creative teachers showing techniques simply 👍👍👍👍👍 to you

Thank you! Enjoyed watching & learning from your video. Kumihimo is new to me. I now want to give it a try. Your video instructions are excellent. Those who said the same were not wrong!😊

Thank you for making this super easy for us to follow. Im an adult and a beginner this has been the easiest to follow tutorial on how to do kumihimo style bracelet.

Thanks! This was very helpful video and I loved that you included the disk making.🤟😎👍

Hey! I had some free time today and wanted to fill it by making a bracelet, couldn't decide on what type and then I remembered Kumihimo from middle school art. I put it in the search bar on youtube and to my surprise I came across this video. 8 years ago you taught my middle school class to do this in our free time, it is still super fun and addicting. glad I came across this.

Wow, you are incredible, it's a lot easier with your explanation. Thanks 🙏

An excellent tutorial!! Thank you

Thank you!!!! I don't even know how many videos I have watched, hoping to catch on to how it's done... I couldn't even come close to figuring out how to know which color/strand to move or where to move it to and which one to move next and so on... So thank you!!!!! You're awesome & I finally get it! 🙂

Thank you!!!!! My kids got this as a gift and the instructions left me so confused! Then I looked at other videos and felt like crying under the bed with confusion! Finally, I understand! 🎉🎉🎉 Thank you!!!!

Fantastic! You’ve made it possible for me to trying this! Thanks. X

I've seen many ppl teaching kumihimo, but u made it so easy for me... I don't even speak english so well, but I could learn it and now there are many good ideas for these different possibilities of weaving. I can make them in bracelets, bags, necklaces... Wow! Thanks for sharing! 💕 BTW, I am Emmy, from Brazil.

You are a wonderful teacher! Well done!!

You’re amazing! Thank you.

great tutorial. thank you!

You are a fantastic teacher. I really enjoyed this tutorial, as you made every step crystal clear. This is by far the BEST and useful tutorial I have saw on here. I have made macrame and friendship knotted bracelets and necklaces for years. This is one type I could never get the hang of, but I believe I've got it now. Thanks so much for an excellent and useful tutorial. Again, you're a fantastic teacher!!! ❤

This was so good! Thank u!

The best easiest explained tutorial ever

So simple tutorial, thanks ma'am 👍👍👍

Thank you very much for that and greetings from Germany!!

I learned to do this but it's was very difficult manually and I invented this way with the circle to make it more easy for anyone. Thanks to presentit was in the 80's I have to remembered more I have to remembered more Thank you Good for kids for anyone and to make many beautiful things good brain excersice and Hobbie Y una entrada de DINEROOOO

Amazing kumihimo . I like it verymuch

Thank you. Excellent.

Do you have photos or copies of those papers you showed at the end? So helpful! Can't wait to try this with my students!

This tutorial is great! It's easy to understand and follow along. I personally found constantly combing out the strands I was working with tedious, so I used bobby pins to make makeshift bobbins. The bobbins have just enough weight to help the strands stay mostly detangled with minimal effort and I can unravel more string as needed. I'm looking forward to trying out the different patterns!

Thank you so much for this💜

This is a fantastic tutorual, thanks so much! I

Fab tutorial thanks!

Merci beaucoup pour votre vidéo j'adore

big chefs kiss to you miss.

Thank youu... very good 👌🏻

Thank you! As an 8th grader who did this in like- 3rd grade and forgot how to braid it, this is very helpful! Thank you! (P.s, I already have a pre-made loom! =D)

THANK YOU!

Very clearly taught. Makes me want to try. What is the best material to use … yarn? cording? something else?

Thank you!

Thank you❤

You are a gifted teacher!

Very well done, my favorite part was the showing at the end of all the varieties you can make!

Gracias 👌🏾

Thank you.

So helpful! Thank you! Do you think it’d work with embroidery floss?

Excellent lesson on this really fun activity!! Thanks for making this video :)

You might show how to end while working on your Kumihimo by bringing down just the first right hand cord leaving three at the bottom and one at the top. When you pick it up again. You will see that now you move the left cord up to the left and resume.

Nice and easy video to follow - just have one question, though :) Can I alternate directions while making the bracelet or do I have to turn the disc in the same direction until I'm done?

3:57 It is called an overhand knot. Interestingly, a pretzel knot is a name for a different knot.

I dont know how did i end up here but i understood the video and has made my first braid. You're an amazing teacher ✌

Thanks

Ameiiiiiiiii nota 10

You’re my teacher on KZfaq

Com este tutorial, será muito fácil a confecção deste trançado.

THANKS!! I can't wait to try with my kiddos

I remembered I invented that in y he 80's thanks to present my project

I am forced to be here because school ;-; Edit: can't believe this is more than 6 months ago... 6 months ago I was struggling with kumihimo... And now I've finally finished 10th grade... That's so fast...

Skoobidoo.. but more nature friendly . :)

❤merci beaucoup une découvert pour moi

Great tutorial and introduction to this ecraft. Thanks so much

I love this ❤️👏🏻

You should add metric measures too and teach them to your students.

So if I use 3ft of string how long is my bracelet going to be when it's finished

Wouldn't it be easier to number the notches, so that kids lean faster which string goes ahere and in what order? THX

Do you have a video showing how to make it into a bracelet.

Me gustaría que fuera en español por qué me encanta tejer con el kumihimo 👍👍👍😍

Cmei MONTEVERDI - muito interessante o curso
