In this video, I’ll show you how to make a kumihimo bracelet using the Japanese braiding technique. This technique requires a foam disk (linked below), but it is relatively easy to make one out of cardboard (also linked below). If your bracelet doesn’t look as great as you intended, I sell custom sets on my Etsy!
