Oasis is a stunning new kumihimo bracelet design by Rebecca Ann Combs. A luxuriously rich eight-color bead soup transforms into a strong single-color focal point across two braids. Finished with subtly hammered endcaps and a matching two-strand magnetic clasp. Easy to braid with size 8 seed beads (with just a few size 11 beads hiding under the endcaps), Oasis is a project suitable for all levels. You're sure to get the perfect fit for your wrist by choosing from one of eight included stringing charts: 6", 6.5", 7", 7.5", 8", 8.5", 9", 9.5".
If this is your very first beaded kumihimo project, please review our Beaded Kumihimo Starter Guide before beginning your bracelet.
