Kumihimo Disks | Square and Round

Small Disk is 4″ – great for smaller beads or small hands. Large disk is around 6″. The Square disk makes square tubing (remember the lanyards from scouts???) or flat friendship braids. I ran out of daylight but will add sample photos below tomorrow!

Copper Cones and Bead Caps | Slide

These are the copper findings / end caps and slides used in my classes. The cone measures 12 x 11 mm; The filigree end caps measure 10mm; The tube slide matches the filigree cap and allow you to add a pendant to your necklace. 12mm opening should work with size 8 beads or SMALLER.

End caps sold in packs of 2: $4 each set.
Tube Slide: $2 each

Holly’s Tip: Wire wrap several different focal beads onto their OWN lobster clasp and you will have interchangeable pendants for your kumihimo necklace! Simply attach to the slide with the lobster!

Motorized Bead Spinner

Since it is motorized- it rotates at a consistently perfect speed which enables you to string beads more rapidly than with a traditional hand powered bead spinner.

The beadsmith bead spinner includes: four projects with easy to follow nstructions- automatic bead spinner: 3 bowls: 3m of thread: 2 curved needles: 3 bowl lids: requires- 2 aa 1.5v batteries (not included) $25.00

Bobbins for Kumihimo

BobEEZ Bobbins are perfect for Kumihimo or bead crochet. You can unspool thread with ease while keeping beads locked inside the spool. Or open the spool and free up and inch or so of beads to work with. Shown closed and partially open in the picture.

Available in large and small sizes / 2.5″ or 1 1/7″ diameter. 8 per package. $3 – $4. NOTE: Due to the size of the item, extra shipping may be required. You will be notified of your actual shipping costs before your credit card is billed!

HOLLY’S BEADING TIP:

If you have trouble getting your initial wrap of S-Lon cording to stay put, slice a notch in your Bobeez with your wire cutters as I’ve done here. Just know that your cord may get hung up in the that spot when unwrapping… but to me it’s worth it to know my beads aren’t going to come flying off my bobbin!

S-Lon Cording

Super Strong and durable cording for Kumihimo, Crochet, or other beading projects! $2.75 / 77 yard spool
