Oimatsu Beaded Kumihimo Necklace $40
October 19, 2024 @ 11:00 am – 2:00 pm
Now that you have done a few kumihimo braids with and without beads, it’s time to expand to this 16 cord braid. Don’t worry – it’s the same finished width as an 8 cord beaded braid. This braid moves cords in pairs and the colors of the cord will frame your beads. Please pay attention to the stand and tutorial listed under supplies and tools, as the bead shop does not carry these 2 items, so you can order in time for class.
Level – intermediate – must have previous kumihimo or beaded kumihimo experience.
Kit Fee: The kit for the class will be added to your ticket on the day of class.
Note: All materials and tools for classes must be purchased at Beadoholique Bead Shop. This allows us to continue providing you with quality classes.
