It's a Making Workshop session today. This time we are in the second phase of a Flat Kumihimo Project. We are producing the braid with 16 lengths of embroidery floss. The Kumihimo disc is used to create the resulting material in a flat, tight braid. The braiding does take quite a long time but is very simple, once the weaving sequence is mastered.
Our Makers started the project last time and today we will add the findings, to finish the bracelet. There will be a choice of end cap and fastening options for our Makers, I'll be interested to see the choices made. We will also develop ideas and make mini charms for the bracelet.
Finishing the braids can be a little tricky and making a neat job will enhance the bracelet, so it's important to think through the process and choose the right technique, possibly practicing before finally deciding on whichbtechniquentomuse. An untidy attachment can completely trash the whole bracelet !
I'm sure all our Makers will produce amazing bracelets. I'll get a few images to share on here.
Thanks for calling in today.
