[NFB-Krafters-Korner] reminder for upcoming class, Kumihimo 8-strand Braid Bracelet

[guillcat at gmail.com]

Dear Division Treasurer:

I just came across my supplies for this craft in my craft room.  We moved
recently, and the supplies are packed in a beautiful metal can just the
right size.  My craft supplies are all boxed up still, and since I'm working
a lot of hours, I don't expect to unpack everything for several months.  But
Kumi Hemo or however it is spelled will be one of the crafts that I'll be
most excited to return to.  I hope you got a sufficient number of crafters
signed up to teach the class.  If not, consider offering the beginners'
class again.  So glad you have kept this craft alive for us!

If you should want to reply, please do so off list, as I try to stay away
from the list.  It's very addicting, and I love my work.  The list always
offers a great excuse to procrastinate my work.

Keep Krafting,

Cathy Miller

8-strand Braid Bracelet

Hello all,

 

Please note that the sign up deadline for this class is November 5. At
present I do not have enough students to teach this class. So, if you'd like
to learn how to make this bracelet, please sign up soon.

 


Class name, Kumihimo Eight Strand Spiral Braid Bracelet


Craft type, kumihimo

Instructor,  <mailto:catherine5515 at hotmail.com> Cathy F

Class format, zoom/email

Class date, Monday, November 14

Class time, noon Eastern

Sign up deadline, November 4

 


Class description: 


In this zoom and email class, use your Kumiloom to create this 8-strand,
2-colored spiral braid. Use red and white stripes for the holiday, orange
and black for Halloween, or your school's or favorite team's colors or
whatever you would prefer. Unlike the 7-strand braid which had one color
showing more than the other, this braid has an equal two-colored striped
spiral pattern. Though this braid has more strands the pattern is not
difficult.

 


Skills needed: 


You have taken at least one Kumihimo class, so are familiar with setting up
the loom.


Supply list:


12 feet of color A 1.5mm thickness cord (satin recommended)

12 feet of color B 1.5mm thickness cord (satin recommended)

*        Kumiloom with 32 slots

*        8 Bobbins for cords

*        Scissors

*        Tape or beads for marking your bobbins or cords so you know which
colors are which. 

*        Weight to keep braid tight

*        Fabric glue

*        Thread to match one of your braid colors

*        End caps with 7mm or 8mm hole. 

*        (Note, the end caps for braids are a tube in which the end of the
finished braid will be glued into. The clasp can be magnetic with a flat
round end or with a claw clasp attached to the tube. Some stores include the
tube and claw clasp assembled. 

*        One option for purchasing supplies for kumihimo including findings
is
