+vermuchosvideo This helped, thank you :)
This is SO helpful, thank you!
Thank you for making this so easy to understand. I am a beginner and you made it clear. You sped up at the end, but that the beauty of pause and replay. Thanks again. I may just learn this after all. Practice, practice, practice.
Awesome!
Sure! I am actually working on one right now. It should be ready in about a week.
I really want to get into Kumihimo! What great Christmas presents this would make for my nieces!
Thanks so much for showing how to use the plate!
great video! so helpul! I love the way you explain! I had to stop the video many times as English is not my mother tongue but got it right as soon as I started!!! thank you so much!!!!!!!!!
I have seen this technique done with a very thin wire but it is much more challenging. I have attempted it myself and became quite frustrated with the wire kinking up and not laying flat. Feel free to give it a try, just please take into account that it is more difficult and you will need to take several passes at it before it looks the way it should.
There are different patterns for round braids as opposed to flat ones. The pattern shown in this video creates the flat shape. Check out our video titled "How to Make a Simple 8-Warp Kumihimo Braid Bracelet". The tutorial shows it on a round plate. You can make a round braid on the square disc as well, the instructions for that come with the disc on the packaging.
Thank you! I love your videos best of all. .....
Hello Nigel
You can use whatever fibers you want Metal rope etc
the fiber just needs enough strength to hold up the TAMA (bobbins)
I tried to use some very low twist Mexican Yarn and it fell apart
Love your site =';^)
I agree with Angela (below), that the square makes doing flat braid easy (easier?), but I taught myself how to flat braid on the round disk and use it all the time without issue.
Either way, thanks for the site and concise instructions.
I've recently started kumihimo braiding with the square plate and find it quite easy! I find the round one looks kinda scary.
love the vid, i've been trying to find a way to do the same thing only with suede cords...hopefully i can get the square braid plate for Christmas and can make my own choker before the new year :)
can you do a video on putting beads on the flat braid kumihimo as well?
Hi, Love this tutorial however have some doubts about the size of each of the 10 strands. I will be using the satin rattail cord. Thank you
It's called Satin Rattail Braiding Cord. You can get it on Beadaholique . com's website. The links for the supplies in this video are located in the video description underneath the video.
Sorry about that. I just fixed the links.
We just uploaded a video on How to Add Beads to a Flat Kumihimo Braid
I have not seen any instructions for a flat braid using a round disc. I hesitate to say that it can't be done, I just have not seen it.
Is there something unique about the square shape for this braid or could a round one be used instead?
This is the first video on kumihimo that I've watched and it honestly feels very, very overwhelming. I gather from the comments that this isn't the case so my question is what tips do you have for someone who is 100 percent new? This is the weave I need for a specific sewing project so it's definitely a goal to learn to make this specific design but like I said it's very overwhelming for someone as ignorant of the craft as I am. Any tips would be much appreciated!
Kumihimo can absolutely be overwhelming at first. Truth be told even though we've introduced so many people to it through our videos I think it can be difficult technique to learn that way. There's a lot of motion, the bobbins can be noisy, it's distracting! So I have a couple suggestions. First, find some illustrated instructions and keep them with you as you work, something you don't have to rewind or fast forward. That can help keep you oriented. Second, I'd suggest starting with an easier braid. The 8 warp round weave is what we've had the most success teaching beginner. Once the basics kumihimo technique has clicked for you you'll find learning other weaves comes far easier. You may not even need to finish a whole 8 warp round braid before you're confident enough to tackle the 10 warp flat. Here's a much more recent video from us where we teach an 8 wrap beaded braid. I'd suggest trying something like this, with or without the beads czcams.com/video/Vo9EOU_D-I8/video.html
@@beadaholique Thank you so much for the advice and the link. Stuff like this is a bit harder for my brain to process. Diving in with a simpler braid may be just what I need. Sometimes it's just easier to do a thing until it clicks.
I'm not surprised this never got real popular except with tweens.
We still see a lot of demand for kumi braids in general but this flat style has never been as popular. The technique really comes alive best when you add spiraled beads
Hmmm... I am sure there is a way to do a more complicated braid such as this without a plate but I unfortunately do not know how to do it. I am sorry, I wish I could be of more help.
es una monada gracias preciosa
I'm wondering if there's a video on a square disk with only one notch on the side?
Oh and the newer one, the one where you tie off, what size is that one?
Hm. . . Is there anyway to do this without the square braid plate? I'm more used to doing freehand plaiting a simple checkerboard pattern.
The link didn't work so Thank you for clarifying!
Do you think you could do this with some thin enamelled copper wire?
can someone share how do you pick a spot for the color of thread? Im trying to make one where yhe outcome I want is if you hang bracelet horizontally, greens will start from left then next colors comes next. help me please?
Julie, Is the the mini or regular sized disk?
'brain power' xD that was fun
Both disk are regular size discs. You can get them on Beadaholique . com's website. The links for the supplies in this video are located in the video description underneath the video.
what website can you get those materials? I love your videos i was sort of trying to find materials but i cant so thanks :)
where do you get those metal brackets that you put at the end of your bracelets? I have been looking for those everywhere. I see them on people bracelets and i want some for mine :c
How long are the braids
Also, what kind of thread r u using????
I want to make a round Kumihimo beaded necklace that just goes on over your head, I can't figure out how long the cords should be. I hope you have an answer. And BTW, this is pretty, love the earth tones.
Hi Lorraine, have you seen the video for our June Exclusive kits? They're kumi necklaces and sound basically like what you're looking to make. For those necklaces we used 7 foot long strands and the finished necklace was about 31 inches long. Now we included magnetic clasps in our design for versatility, but they do go over your head quite nicely even without opening the clasp. Check out the video here: czcams.com/video/AyvC6Qc5kjU/video.html
Oh yeah, that's similar to what I want to make. I'll have to try out one of those kits also, thanks.
Can I use yarn instead of cord? please and thank you for a reply
Hi Fernando, yes you can use yarn. Just be mindful that it may fray quite a bit.
@@beadaholique Thank you

Would have been helpful if you realized the math involved... I know.. MATHs.. but it does make it easier to explain. So.. bottom - up is always -10... top left to bottom is +11 and top right to bottom is +9. Simple to remember and makes you sound smarter too!

You can make this with cardboard. Search on CZcams. ☺
Can I ask what the thickness of the cord is.
The thickness is 3mm. All the items used in this project can be found here:

Thanks for watching!
Thank you for the clear and concise tutorial. I only have a disc right now, but I am going to try this anyway. I've worked with 8 warp to great success. I just have to pay attention to the slot positions rather than their names.
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻✨🌟⭐🌟✨❤😃❤
Julie, in all your videos you need to be closer to the microphone. your voice gets lower as you go along and you are hard to hear. its like your mumbling.
EN ESPANOL POR FAVORI.......
How long is each strand of rattail?
Each color comes in a 3 yard length. You will need a total of 10 cords which are 24" long each. Select and cut your cords.

Beadaholique Thank you so much .... gonna play tonight!
Oh wow, that totally confused me :( I guess this isn't for my math pattern impaired brain ...
this made like no sense to me😞
You are not alone. I feel the same way.
It did not make sense to me at first. I think what helped me is: 1) watch the whole video all the way through before attempting. 2) Have everything at hand when you begin. 3) Make the same exact steps and moves that she does. 4) Pause, and replay, over and over.
I really hope that u can make ur vids with... less intro and get to the point right away
Not a hater ok, pliz dont get me wrong... just saying
