Clusters of Fun Kumihimo Necklace Kit - Fancy
Description: This is a fun necklace to make and even though many of you have made "clusters" this one is a bit different. But you'll have to try it to find out! This is very easy and pretty quick. I have used C-Lon Tex 400 for the "rope" portion of the braid and a combination of 8/0 and 6/0 Toho and Miyuki Seed Beads for the Clusters. The pattern is written for a 27" necklace (give or take) with 13 beaded clusters. You can make the necklace shorter if you like. For someone that likes a shorter necklace and has a small wrist, you could buy an extra 5mm All-in-One magnetic clasp and make a necklace and a bracelet. Kit includes:- C-Lon Tex 400- 8/0 Toho/Miyuki Seed Beads- 6/0 Toho/Miyuki Seed Beads- 5mm All-in-One Magnetic Clasp - Instructions with Photos You will need: - Kumihimo Disk (I use the Beadsmith THICK Mini and it's great) - 8 Bobbins (I use the Small EZ Bobbins) - Scissors- Tape Measure- Needle & Thread, Cord Zapper or Fray Block to finish ends- Glue (I use WeldBond Universal Glue - available at Ace Hardware stores & some craft stores)You should know:- Kumihimo Round Braid (Kongoh Gumi)- How to drop beads (see Kumihimo Tip #14 if you need a refresher). It's easy.
