In today's video, I show you how to make this fun kumihimo bracelets! I love making friendship bracelets using this method because it's so easy to do and it's perfect to do while watching a good film/TV series on Netflix!

I fail and don't have any ends to finish off the bracelet with findings, but here is a video by Beadaholique that explains really well how to add findings to Kumihimo projects! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aL52HQmC7XI

- But Hannah, what is Kumihimo?

"Kumihimo is the traditional Japanese technique of braiding strands of silk to create intricately colored cords. The cords, also called kumihimo, are strong but slender, and have a multitude of uses. Samurai once used kumihimo as laces for their armor. The traditional belt of the kimono, the obi, was once bound by a cord of kumihimo called an obijime. It is an art both culturally significant and beautiful.

In Japanese, the word kumihimo means to gather or combine cord or thread. As the ornately jewel-like ropes suggest, modern kumihimo can involve many strands. At first, the process was done entirely by hand without the help of any sort of tool. These earliest kumihimo are generally monochromatic or at least very limited in color. Later, weavers developed tools that could accomplish more complicated patterns, permitting makers to include more colors. The first kumihimo looms, called takadai and marudai, are rather large and unwieldy, and fairly stationary."
