Continuing on with my kumihimo adventures, I started learning how to incorporate beads. With a normal braid, you need a thicker cord, but this time you will need beading cord and appropriately sized beads. Here, I’ve used 0.5mm cord, size 8/0 seed beads, and 4mm crystals and pearls.
You start by braiding a little with the cord for the end caps, then you want to lay out the beads so that the pattern spirals up the bracelet.
