The Cute as a Button Kumihimo Braclet 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 three pages long and includes 11 close-up step-by-step photos, and stringing charts for three different bracelet lengths that fit the follow wrist sizes: approximately 6.25", 7.25", and 8.25".
This is not a kit. No materials are included.
Cute as a Button is an all-levels project, and 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 drop beads and lock them in place in the braid
Please download our free Beaded Kumihimo Starter Guide as a reference for these basic skills.
The following supplies and tools are needed to make a Cute as a Button bracelet (not included):
- 12g - 20g Toho size 6/0 seed beads or 18g - 23g Miyuki size 6/0 seed beads
- size 18 Superlon cord
- Hypo-Cement or clear nail polish
- kumihimo disk
- 8 weighted bobbins
- 45g center weight
- scissors
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. 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. The quantity may be listed as a range if the instructions include stringing charts for multiple sizes. If you would prefer to purchase a complete kit that includes both the instructions and all the materials needed to make a project, please reach out. Depending on stock availability we may be able to make you a kit even if that project isn't currently listed as a kit on our website. (There is a "Contact Us" link at the bottom of this page.)
