Your videos really helped me find my creative outlet. I had some very difficult times last year and this helped me find my courage and invest more time in myself and creativity.
I love this! ❤ I've never been good at any kind of braids using more than 3 strands and doing it with wire was challenging trying to keep it neat and consistent in size but with your guidance and this loom I have no doubt I'll do just fine. You always explain everything so well in ALL your tutorials and I really enjoy watching. I'm coming up on 2 years of watching and you have no idea how much you have helped! Thank you for sharing your videos!
Thank just did this braid. My braiding was a bit uneven, so I twisted and curled this braid into a base for an attached bead floral focal. I will attach a chain or beads to complete as a necklace. THANK YOU!!! Another great job!
Totally loving it! There are times when I want to make a Kumihimo beaded bracelet but haven't prepared a disk for the beads. This procedure is fantastic for those days, I can just get my wire and start braiding !! Your tutorials are just fantastic, great instructions, beautiful projects. Thank you.
You're very welcome and thank you very much. That is a very good point. It's easy to just take out and sit and make, and the result can be used for several different things. I have been playing around with the idea of incorporating the braid into a woven bracelet, so I'm excited to try that out :-)
Many thanks. The braid is very easy and the result is gorgeous. I made it with 1 mm Nu Gold wire, which looks like a 14 karat gold, and a lot of polishing. I think it could be done with dead soft 1.2 mm pure copper. I'll try it with twisted wire.
So I bought a book by you..and then discovered you here. I've been working on the diagonal kumihimo and mine curves to the right instead of staying flat. Where am I off track? Do you pull yours tight as you work it or no???? And how do yo get your wire so close together??
Christina where are you now getting the large reels of wire I cant get it from jewellery maker any more so can you tell us where you get yours from please
A bit awkward at first but it really starts to look good, great instructions, thank you. I’m wanting a wider band for a bracelet, Im thinking I could as long as the wire strands are at an odd number 🤔 is this correct?
Beautiful work and tutorial as always. I was wondering as I have yet to try wirework kumihimo braid flat or round can you do this braid on the round disc?
Ugh. I'm having a terrible time with the wire work hardening before I can even get a 1/4 inch braid. I've went down to 22 gauge and still the same. Any advice?
Use a torch and heat it to anneal (soften) the copper. Copper work hardens very easily so the least bending or drawing of the wire you can do the better.
Cindy Singer Cindy, I am going with square as she said you need square to do a braid if your still wondering. the size shouldn't matter as long as it's square.
This is the exact same wire weave as if you were to stick your wires in a clamp to hold them and then go up down up down up down up down over repeat. Except then you are see what you are doing and make corrections and with kumihomo all your work is hidden and you cant see your what are doing.

Gracias por compartir😅❤
Красивый узор👍
thank you so much and I just bought your book, l love it.
A bit awkward at first but it really starts to look good, great instructions, thank you. I’m wanting a wider band for a bracelet, Im thinking I could as long as the wire strands are at an odd number 🤔 is this correct?
what is the wire placement if I want to use two colors?
Do you need the board?
If you want a wider bracelet could you increase the number of wires to 9 or perhaps 11. ?
Hi i was wondering if you can do a tutorial for a flat baraid uing leather cord on the ends and some gemstones in the middle. TY.
How much turmeric? How many beats?
can I make this wire bracelet with a round kumhimo broad?
Brilliant and beautiful x
Thank you so much :-)
Beautiful work and tutorial as always. I was wondering as I have yet to try wirework kumihimo braid flat or round can you do this braid on the round disc?
Love this Braid !!! How long is the braid you end up with using 20" of wire ? Thank you so much for your vids !!!

Can I do this on a Project Board???
Christina, can you use the round disc rather than a square one? My square disc doesn't have all the same side slots as yours.
Cindy Singer Cindy, I am going with square as she said you need square to do a braid if your still wondering. the size shouldn't matter as long as it's square.
Thank you!
Thats so cool. Thanks you
You're welcome and thank you :-)
Can you do without flat kumihimo?
Check this out: imnium.deviantart.com/art/Free-wire-weave-tutorial-573297050. I'll be trying it soon.
i love your videos=).
Thank you so much :-)
I'm gonna make a vape coil like this.
I always just put wire to right like a loom weave but both sides is neater

Very useful however very long winded and no demonstration on how to finish.
Nooo! Another thing I want to try :( LOL. You can bead that as you go right?
Hehe, yes I have a tutorial coming up soon where I do a beaded version of this :-)
This is the exact same wire weave as if you were to stick your wires in a clamp to hold them and then go up down up down up down up down over repeat. Except then you are see what you are doing and make corrections and with kumihomo all your work is hidden and you cant see your what are doing.
"from the top to the bottom from the bottom to the top"
I’m gonna wrap that bracelet into some coils and vape on em. Gonna rip the fattest clouds
