I feel like you deserve a lot more views than you have because this is the only tutorial that finally taught me how to make these

AudreiseIsHere -Randomness So glad you were able to make one! 😄 I had a hard time finding a tutorial too and ended up having to google and search through random websites! 😂

Honey you are a God send. "If left up to me I'd get right down to business". Is now my mantra for kumi and life 😆.

Thank you so much for this! I've been wanting to learn how to do the kumi bracelets but the only video I found was a wheel with only 8 slots and you use 7 strings, then move every 3rd string into the free space. And that's the only one I know how to make! You're really good at explaining and teaching so I hope you will decide to do some more videos like this with different patterns! Much love!

I'm a beginner so I'll only use 4 strings for a long while before I go on to more strings, like 8, and so forth.

@kale8931 4 жыл бұрын

so i’ve always done these down to the right and then up to the left, would i have the flip the pattern for this to work?

@MegMakesCrafts 4 жыл бұрын

Kale I honestly can’t say for sure as I’ve never tried it that way. But I think... I think it should be fine so long as you are consistently doing it right then left every time because your strings still end up in the same spots.

@selman762 2 жыл бұрын

Can I do that without a wheel ? I already did one simple type of these bracelets with 7 strings and I used to cut 8 cuts a circle of paperboard but I see that if I want to do other patterns I should have more cuts.

@MegMakesCrafts 2 жыл бұрын

I feel like you probably could but it would become a lot to manage and hold in place. The wheel really helps keep the strings from shifting and moving to where they aren’t supposed to be. However, the craft at its core is just braiding. If you try, let me know how it goes!

It means Japanese or Chinese braid, you can use silk cord for them also, or rattail cord.

Hey Megan. I love your videos and I have a doubt in your tutorial .The question is does this method work for every kumihimo pattern ?

@MegMakesCrafts 4 жыл бұрын

Sanjana Rajkumar the patterns I have encountered can be done like this, like the patterns in friendship-bracelets but I know there are kumihimo plates that are square and I know you can even do spirals with kumihimo so I don’t think this is the only way to do it.

Do you have a pattern generator? I don't understand how you went from the hexagonal pattern to the pattern on the wheel.

@MegMakesCrafts 3 жыл бұрын

That pattern is pulled from friendship-bracelets.net where there is a kumihimo pattern generator. The hexagon is broken into ‘slices’ and each slice is broke into two sections. Each section is a different colour that represents a string that you put on your wheel.

I just finished a kumihimo bracelet that require 40 strings so I made a kumihimo disc of 80 slots, the pattern reads “ I ❤️ U “ came out beautiful, you can find the pattern on www.friendship-bracelets.net on the search bar type in k752 and you will see the pattern.

How do you know if you should rotate it clock-wise or in the other direction?

@MegMakesCrafts 2 жыл бұрын

So far as I know you should always work your sections clockwise, technically I suppose that means you turn your wheel counterclockwise.

In this video I just tied a knot and made sure the piece was long enough to go around the wrist. You could do a button if you put a loop in the beginning of your strings, or you can do a loop and ties like I did in my other kumihimo video!

@MegMakesCrafts Жыл бұрын

The pattern is only used for the initial positioning of the strings and that’s it. Then you repeat the left up, right down working around the circle! Each segment on the pattern is divided into 2 with each half of the segment representing a string. Hope that helps!

@khadijahussain5587 3 жыл бұрын

terrible, cant see half the wheel, and at least say the numbers!

@MegMakesCrafts 3 жыл бұрын

Hi there, I’ve made a newer tutorial with a newer setup where the wheel is more visible. Referencing the numbers on the wheel is useless unless you’re using the exact same wheel as me. Wheels can come in a variety of sizes with a large scope of numbers on them- some don’t even have numbers. I’m sorry you didn’t like my tutorial, but I hope you stick with the craft and find something that does work for you!

Caryn Grant all wheels are different sizes and some don’t even have numbers so referencing the numbers would be completely useless unless you’re using the exact same wheel. I’m sorry you don’t like my tutorial. I hope you don’t give up on the craft and find a tutorial that works for you though 😊
