This is the beginning of my kumihimo journey. :D
About 3 weeks ago, I ordered a bundle of embroidery floss and it finally came 3 days ago.
I ordered 300 of them off eBay because it wasn't that expensive ($20) and normally they cost 85 cents per floss. The only drawback is that there are no repeated colors since they're all random. I guess it's alright because the different colors will make them more unique.
I'm still waiting for kumihimo disk, so I had to make one myself. I made it by printing off a template online in the school library and gluing it to a part of a plastic folder. It's not the sturdiest thing to use, but it'll have to do for now.
With my makeshift disk, I started braiding the floss by following simple tutorials on Youtube, but they look awful because I don't have the proper tools to end them. My first bracelet looks the worst because it still has loose ends dangling around. I'm still in the process of learning how to braid them, so they're definitely not perfect.
After watching more tutorials on Youtube, I found many different methods to end my bracelets. I bought several lobster clips on eBay, so I'll wait for its arrival before I finish my other bracelets.
