This colourful and informative beginner's guide to the craft explains how to use a circular kumihimo disc and a variety of braids and beads to create 12 stunning pieces of jewellery, plus colour and style variations, for any occasion. Kumihimo is a transportable craft so once you have mastered the basics of placing your braids over the disc in different formations to make a variety of patterns and motifs, you can create kumihimo jewellery wherever you go.Trade ReviewA nice introduction to Kumihimo, the book includes information on materials, tools and essential techniques. All of the projects are well explained and each is accompanied by bright, well photographed, pictures and colour diagrams. Donna includes lots of tip boxes throughout the book. All in all a great introduction to Kumihimo. * Bead Society of Great Britain, Journal 130 (Spring/Summer 2019) *Even at first glance the book is filled with clear, colourful and informative images printed on good quality, glossy paper which offers the reader a seemingly more expensive book than the RRP would suggest. The initial section on materials and essential techniques is detailed and concise, and offers both written and step-by-step picture instructions. There are clear directions to get you started on a two-coloured, eight-braid bracelet with a further eleven projects, plus braiding idea options. The book offers exactly what the title suggests. It is good value for money, the quality of printing and construction exceeds its price tag and I would buy this book as a beginner's reference guide or as a gift for a crafting friend. -- Kik Knott, Diss & District * The Journal for Weavers, Spinners & Dyers (March 2019) *This stunning art of braiding to make wonderful pieces of jewellery is simple and unique. You will learn basic techniques to braid and bead, which will give a beautiful finished piece of jewellery that will be wearable and stylish. To make the projects you will need a Kumihimo disc or plate, I would have liked to have seen one included with this book, but you can pick them up for a couple of pounds quite easily, and you will need some cord. The instructions are easy to follow and what I liked is that picture demonstration is included along with special hints and tips to give your work that professional finish. Each piece is stunning, the beadwork is amazing and for a 'Magpie' like me I was drawn to the shiny and sparkle of the embellishments. This is a book perfect for beginners, it really is a one to one craft class. 12 projects are showcased and each one is gorgeous and appealing. -- Tracy Shephard * Postcard Reviews *This wonderful Kumihimo beginner's guide (or, to give the book it’s proper title:’ A Beginner’s Guide to Kumihimo’) is by Donna McKean Smith. Published by Search Press, it will come as no surprise for me to tell you that the book is beautifully laid out and illustrated. If you’re someone who enjoys making beaded ropes, then I’m going to tell you why you need this. As the cover advertises, this Kumihimo beginner's guide gives you 12 projects to get you started. It also gives you a wealth of information about the tools and materials you need. Plus, in learning these projects, you are learning general Kumihimo techniques. So, you’ll end up with the skill set to go on and make loads more Kumihimo projects all on your own. In case you’re wondering, Kumihimo is actually an ancient Japanese craft. It is basically braiding. You will get to learn a number of different braid combinations. Each creates a different texture and look. You will start by learning how to braid with ribbon. Then, learn how to add in beads. Both these looks are beautiful. The projects in the book will give you necklaces and bracelets. If you want to try your own thing, then Kumihimo ropes also make fabulous necklaces for hanging a special pendant or cabochon. Donna McKean Smith has been running Riverside crafts for many years. She is an expert teacher and this comes across in the book. She guides you through everything from a beginner’s perspective. So, you don’t need to know anything before you start. Kumihimo is a very therapeutic craft. So, I can guarantee that with Donna’s expert tuition, you will soon be relaxed and enjoying it for yourself. -- Katie Dean, Bead Flowers * www.myworldofbeads.com *Make your own beautiful jewellery with the ancient Japanese craft of kumihimo. This traditional method of producing braids has been updated for the modern crafter with inexpensive disks and bobbins and is surprisingly easy to do. I have been using my marudai to make kumihimo braids for several years; basic fibre braids can be used for so many things. This book does not require any of the larger, more expensive items but if you have them you can use them to make these beaded braids. If you don’t, the disks and other items you require are easy and inexpensive to obtain and you can use any cords or threads plus a wide range of beads and findings. This is a well laid out, user friendly guide for either a total beginner, or somebody like myself who has made plain braids and wants to add beads and make jewellery. A few pages are given to showing what you need and explaining why you need it; if you already make jewellery you will already own most of it. Start making your first braid without the beads and learn the basics of kumihimo in the next chapter. This includes working out how much thread you need, setting up the disk, the braiding sequence and finishing off. Wisely this first piece is not just a cord but made into a bracelet which, even without beads, is a beautiful and wearable piece. The rest of the book shows you how to add beads, make a variety of different cord types and fill your jewellery box with some gorgeous bracelets, cuffs and necklaces. If you want to see them all at a glance there is a double page at the front with a gallery of the finished pieces. Each project teaches you something new and has some very clear photographs and diagrams showing how to set up the disk, use different types of bead and achieve various effects. There is a list of what you need, useful tips, and sometimes ideas and patterns for variations. I would recommend this book to anybody who wants to try kumihimo and make their own jewellery. -- Rachel Hyde * myshelf.com *I found this book very interesting, as I have tried Kumhimo before, but not with beads. It has 12 projects that are clearly set out with photos, detailed instructions and tips. In the projects sections you get a "shopping list" of supplies which takes the guess work out of lengths and quantities required. I intend to try a project soon, but the hardest thing now is to choose which one to try first. -- Sharon Harris * Amazon *Fantastic guide to Kumihimo, 12 beautiful, colourful projects designed to teach the technique in an easy to follow guide. I love that the photography matches the instructions perfectly and don't confuse the reader the way that other craft guides do. I look forward to making the projects from the book and starting a new crafting love affair, a very well written and inspirational book. -- Debbie Mcmurray * Amazon *The book contains 12 projects to make bracelets and necklaces. Each project is explained with great clarity along with detailed diagrams and excellent photographs of every stage of making. All materials and equipment are listed and explained and can be purchased from the author's website which is noted on the inside front cover but not thrust at you on every page. Alternative colourways are suggested and shown for each project. As someone who has done some kumihimo before I was familiar with most of the patterns, but I have never used beads with my braiding before. To be honest I've always been a bit scared of working out how many beads I'd need and the length of thread to use. The book tells you exactly what you require to make an item of a certain size then gives information on how to adapt to be larger or smaller. Whether you are a complete novice or have prior experience of kumihimo or beading you are sure to find this book beneficial and inspirational and with the quality paper you expect of Search Press publications it's a lovely book to browse through and stroke (crafters will know what I mean!). -- Stella Davis * Amazon *I have been intrigued by the technique of Kumihimo for a while and as an avid fan of jewellery - making as a hobby, really wanted to learn this fascinating new skill as I had seen the beautiful braids that can be made using it. As a complete beginner to Kumihimo, I was looking for an instructional book with projects suitable for starters like me and was not disappointed by this lovely book. Although at first glance the technique looked a bit complicated, thanks to the great detailed, step by step instructions in this book, accompanied by clear pictures - a bit of perseverance and time was all that was needed to get me started on braiding. This book contains detailed sections on techniques, the tools needed to make a start, as well as instructions on 'finishing off' (essential to getting a nice professional look) - then twelve projects including bracelets and necklaces. I am really pleased with this book, and look forward trying many of the projects within, once I have perfected the technique further and I'm sure my friends and family will love getting these braided bracelets as gifts. -- Gaynor Lewis * Amazon *I really enjoyed reading the paperback version of this book. It’s the perfect resource for either a beginner or a more advanced Kumihimo braider. Everything you need to know to start Kumihimo braiding is clearly explained and the whole book is well-illustrated. There is an explanation of the materials required and the techniques needed to start braiding and information on how to finish the braids attractively. The book also explains how to progress making Kumihimo braids using beads. There are 12 twelve gorgeous projects to follow which are explained with great clarity aided by clear photography. The projects enable a variety of different techniques to be learned including beading from a centrepiece outwards (in the case of the Jade bracelet); making an eight-braid cuff (Maxine – which is created from two beaded Kumihimo braides); creating a seven-braid bracelet (Jodie bracelet) and making a square cord bracelet (Katie). I’ve fancied learning how to do Kumihimo braiding for a while and after reading this great book I am inspired to start braiding as soon as I can gather the supplies together! -- Christine Lewis * Amazon *Table of ContentsIntroduction Materials Essential Techniques The Projects: Basic eight-braid bracelet Eight-braid beaded bracelet 'Inside-out' bracelet Infinity Knot necklace Four-colour stripe bracelet Flower motif bracelet Beaded popper charm bracelet Crystal kumihimo necklace Eight-braid cuff Simple seven-braid bracelet Eight-braid square cord bracelet Twelve-braid raised cord bracelet Index

Search Press Ltd Beautiful Braiding Made Easy: Using Kumihimo
Book SynopsisAn easy to follow guide to producing beautiful Japanese braids using Kumihimo disks and plates; templates for which are printed on the cover flap ready to be cut out and used. There is advice on the yarns or threads to use, arranging the threads on the disk or plate, producing many different types of braid, braiding with beads, finishing off and using the braids to make bracelets, necklaces, bag handles and much more.Trade ReviewThe author is an experienced braider who started out on a wooden Madurai before discovering Kumihimo disks and plates. She subsequently found that some of her students, previously put off by complex instructions and expensive equipment, were thrilled that they were able to make braids using these simple little tools. Having recently progressed in the opposite direction, from disk to Marudai, I expected to find this small book a little too simplistic. Far from it. The first eight-thread braid was one that I recognised. On the very next page was a sixteen-thread braid that I might have been reluctant to try, but her diagrams and explanations were so clear that I fished out my disk and made one straight away. In the next section she explained how to change the patterns using different arrangements of the coloured threads around the disk at the start, which I now understand. Later sections covered how to reverse the spiral, hollow braids with and without inserts, triangular braids, chevrons, flat braids, woven braids, zig zag braids and braids with beads. In just 45 pages the author has managed to rekindle my enthusiasm and I will be making much more ambitious braids using my old disk. I have no hesitation in recommending this book to both novice and experienced braiders. -- Sarah A. Pape * The Journal for Weavers, Spinners & Dyers *December 2014 As you can see from the cover of this book you know it's going to be packed full of different designs for you to try. Not only do you get easy to follow instructions you also get your own disk & plate to cut out. This book is an easy to follow guide to Japanese braiding. It covers everything from yarns or threads to use. How to arrange the threads on the disk or plate. How to braid with beads and how to finish off. There are an amazing mix of designs to make. Each looks more amazing than the last. Not only that you are given examples of how you can use the braids. I must admit that there were lots more ideas than I had thought of.

Using a Japanese technique she discovered in Australia, textilist and author (Dyeing in Plastic Bags, for one) Deighan not only demonstrates how to use the Kumihimo disk and plate but she also incorporates two ready-to-cut-out versions on the book’s front flap. (For library consideration, tape over the disk and plate with a note about where to order them online.) In all, about 30 patterns are featured, with the disk producing round braids; the plate, the flat version; and then, using beads in the designs. It’s hard to envision, exactly, the process without selecting appropriate threads (usually thin) and simply beginning. At the end of each chapter, a gallery of finished patterns, with page references, appears for crafters; what would make this unusual method even more appealing is the addition of a fourth chapter—ideas for making braids a part of home decor, of clothing, of accessories. * Booklist *Table of ContentsAn introduction Using the Kumihimo disk More ideas for using the Kumihimo disk Using the Kumihimo plate More ideas for using the Kumihimo plate Braiding with beads

He also contributes to newspapers, magazines, encyclopedias and partworks. Lewis learned about knots in the 1950s from herring fishermen on his ancestral Isle of Man. Pupil and teachers have long gone their separate ways: the former, like most Manxmen, to the British mainland through economic necessity; the latter into the history books after the Irish Sea was trawled to near exhaustion. Lewis retains the traditional knowledge and here demonstrates that knots can give us so much more than the means to catch the traditional accompaniment to chips. SELLING POINTS: .

We say: Just as macramé homeware has been given a contemporary, stylish makeover in recent years, here, Isabella Strambio does the same with jewellery. Ideal for beginners, this book contains 20 contemporary jewellery and accessory projects, including necklaces, earrings, bracelets and headbands. * Craft Focus, October/November issue *Macramé artist Strambio (Macramé for the Modern Home) shows how to create knotted jewellery in this chic guide. To help beginners get started, she provides instructions for creating basic knots and knotting patterns and offers guidance on choosing types of string, noting that braided string doesn’t unravel while suede string’s softness makes it ideal for bracelets and necklaces. The 20 projects include such boho-style accessories as a diamond-patterned headband, earrings with unravelled string made to look like feathers, and a necklace made of black tassels tied to a wooden ring. Strambio also shows how to make a white and teal belt, a white camera strap, and a white and terracotta–coloured keyring with knots that resemble daisies. Sharing tips of the craft, the author recommends wrapping the end of a string with masking tape to avoid fraying when adding beads (as in her gold-bead bracelet) and using a pet brush to straighten unravelled fringes. Macramé novices will appreciate the simple yet elegant designs, and though the projects are light on visual instruction, the author’s directions are easy to follow. Those eager to try macramé would do well to start here. * Publishers Weekly *Oh, we do love combining our crafts. Especially when those crafts are macramé and jewellery making, two of the most beautiful techniques around. "A celebration of creativity and of women," is how Isabella Strambio describes Macramé Jewellery, which aims to tap into the healing power of crafts. Whilst providing you with some knockout projects of course! The whole book has a calm, serene feel to it, with muted colours never looking so beautiful. * Crafts Beautiful, January 2023 *Just as macrame homeware has been given a stylich makeover in recent years, Isabella Strambio does the same with jewellery. Ideal for beginners, this book has 20 contemporary jewellery and accessory projects, including necklaces, earrings, bracelets and headbands. * Machine Knitting Monthly, February 2023 *This book shows that macramé is not just for plant pot holders, it is versatile enough to make unique items of jewellery and accessories. The book explains exactly what is needed for each project along with some health and safety advice. The explanation for each of the knots is clear and photographs accompany each stage of making the knot. This book is excellent for beginners to macramé and also for those who have some knowledge. As someone who used to do macramé a lot, this book provides a nice refresher and I have also learnt some new knots. -- Sarah Dennis * Customer Review *This book provides the know-how to make 20 small, simple projects which include a belt and camera strap as well as jewellery. The various knots are given in one section at the front with photos and material lists in the project section in the second half of the book. It’s full of excellent photos. -- Ginnie Willis * Customer Review *Jumping on the macramé trend, this gorgeous book offers 20 stylish projects using simple knots. Macramé Jewellery walks you through making necklaces, earrings, bracelets, headbands and more. Perfect for beginners, you'll learn the ins and outs of knotted designs. Explore how to size and resize the pieces to suit, as well as how to attach jewellery finds, beads and fastenings. * Sew Magazine, April 2023 *All hail the 1960s and 1970s for crafty ideas that strike a chord again today. Macramé goes in and out of trendiness quickly, yet there’s a mystique in the art of knotting that appeals over the long term. Former interior designer Strambio deftly uses her creative talent to offer 20 projects: mainly necklaces, along with bracelets, earrings, and a few headbands, key rings, and belts. Expect instructions on the basics are provided, from tools and materials to descriptions of a dozen or so different knots (two favourites: Endless Falls and Eternity). The projects are easy to conquer, with time estimates at roughly an hour, though level of difficulty is not indicated. Tips help get the tangles out: look for wooden beads with a hole large enough to accommodate the string; keep scraps 15 inches and longer. Interesting factoid: if household allergies suddenly emerge, look out for cotton dust emanating from the string. -- Barbara Jacobs * Booklist, January Issue *Table of ContentsIntroduction 6 How to use this book 8 Safety and looking after your body 8 Tools 10 Materials 12 Knots 14 Patterns 22 Macramé tips 24 The projects 34 Earrings 36 Feather earrings 36 Loop earrings 40 Triangle earrings 42 Bracelets 46 Bracelet with gold bead 46 Natural linen bracelet 48 Bracelet with brass ring 50 Necklaces 54 Purple and white necklace 54 Statement bead 56 Large tribal necklace 60 Flower necklace 66 Chunky necklace 68 Black tassel necklace 72 Summer necklace 74 White necklace 76 Other accessories 80 White headband 80 Terracotta headband 84 Tassel keyring 86 Daisy keyring 88 Belt 92 Camera strap 96 Acknowledgements 112
