Test run


Done in leftover Chinese knotting string from a pattern that came with the kumihimo disk (the instructions were in Japanese so I tried to follow the diagrams and prayed it would come out right!) 

First time gluing on end caps (I used craft glue because superglue dried too fast). Wearing it to work today to see if it's flimsy. I don't really trust glue... 

Does anyone have any tips for starting and finishing kumihimo braids?

hey, sometimes we weave the ends back though and sometimes we burn them so they don't fray and place them with a sliding bead closer, may want to check out you tube for clearer tips!
Love the color and great work!
