Kumihimo is MORE than just friendship bracelets! Kumihimo, the ancient Japanese art of braiding, includes more than 100 different kinds of braids that can be used for jewelry, belts, keychains, leashes and more, using dozens of different materials, with or without beads. Learn the basic 8-warp braid (Japanese name: Kongo Gumi) and complete a bracelet. All materials are included; take home a finished bracelet along with a disk, bobbins, measuring tape, counterweight, and instructions so you can continue to practice on your own. No prior experience needed.All supplies included. TMA members receive 10% off all registrations.
