The Beyond the Horizon Kumihimo Bracelet Instructions is a downloadable PDF. Nothing will be shipped to you. If you want to print out the instructions, you'll need to have a printer. You'll have access to the download after you checkout. You'll need Adobe Acrobat Reader in order to open the file.
The PDF is four pages long and includes a supply list, detailed written instructions, and stringing charts for five different finished bracelet lengths: approximately 7", 7.5", 8", 8.5", and 9".
The Beyond the Horizon bracelet is a half beaded kumihimo, half strung gemstone design featuring a focal clasp and clear quartz dangle.
Beyond the Horizon is a beginner project, but assumes you already know the basic kumihimo skills:
- how to thread a needle
- how to tie an overhand knot
- how to set up the disk for braiding
- how to string beads
- how to drop beads and lock them in place in the braid
- how to bind off the ends of your braid
- how to glue on endcaps
- how to attach a clasp using jump rings
Please download our free Beaded Kumihimo Starter Guide and Understanding the Braid as a references for these basic skills.
The "Pattern Only" option is best for independent beaders either working from their own stash or willing/able to search for their own materials because we do not provide vendor recommendations nor color names/numbers. Please allow your own creativity to guide you to your own unique color palette.
The supply list is on the first page of each project PDF and includes the type/size of each required component as well as the required quantity. Quantities listed on the supply list are enough to make the maximum length of the necklace.
