Preparation: String 25 beads onto each string and secure them on bobbins.
Start Plain Kumihimo: Begin with a section of plain Kumihimo braid to allow for finishing the ends later.
Adding Beads: Slide a bead up underneath two parallel strings, then cross over and under to incorporate the bead into the braid.
Maintain Tension: Attach weights to the end of your strings to help pull down and ensure the beads sit nicely in the braid.
Repeat: Continue the process of adding beads, making sure each one is snugly positioned under the strings.
