Kumihimo - Japanese Braiding - PC



This beginner class introduces the art of Japanese braiding, known as kumihimo. Kumihimo is a traditional braiding technique that dates back to the time of the Samurai, who used these intricate braids to hold sections of their armor together. The term kumihimo means "gathering or combining cords" in Japanese.

While Samurai armor is no longer in use, kumihimo continues to play a role in Japanese culture, often seen in ceremonial pulls, tassels, and as clothing embellishments.

In this class, you will learn to create a simple necklace or eyeglass holder. In a follow-up class, I’ll teach how to work with smaller cords and beads to make more detailed pieces.

The kit includes instructions, a foam disk, spools, satin cord (enough for two necklaces), magnetic clasps, glue, and binding thread. You only need to bring scissors and a few toothpicks. I will also provide embellishments if you wish to customize your design.

I’m excited to share this beautiful craft with you!
