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.

Still had trouble finding the spot where my creator cash was expected it to be with coupons. But that is my problem. The website is fine. The products are fantastic and customer service is wonderful.

I've been playing with my order for over a month. When the free past "Treasure Box" was offered for an order over 50.00, I placed my order. Shipping was to long. Website says next day shipping if order is received by 1pm . My order was placed on a Friday and their post office received it Wednesday. And, when it finally arrived, I didn't get my free Treasure Box. I had to send another email. It finally came today and the beads are to make something Christmas. No pattern, no guide or anything. Just a small box of winter and snow themed beads. My experience was not what I was hoping for. Q
I love your store and everyone that works there. I don’t buy my beading supplies anywhere else anymore.
