[Nfb-krafters-korner] Kumihimo

[David F]

It can be used to make jewelry and Bookshare has a book about using wire
strands to do just that, but I think you have to use a sturdier loom than
the one we have that feels like flip-flop material.  I think to make jewelry
you use a real marudai--the traditional stool-like loom Japanese
craftspersons use.  

Or you can make non-wire strand jewelry using the Kumihimo loom we have been
using.  You can make bracelets using magatama beads, necklaces, key chains,
and even dog leashes.  I suspect belts can be turned into jeweled
accessories with beads and by using a square loom.
