Search Press Beautiful Braiding Made Easy Book

Don't remember thus

Haven’t made any items from the book yet, but there are some interesting ideas.

I love this book, it has easy to understand information. It is a good book for beginners and more advanced users. From using 4 threads up to 16 threads. The more braids that you do, the simpler process becomes. Hope that everyone has as much fun as I did learning to do Japanese Braiding.

I own 8 other kumihimo books, and would heartily recommend this be added to anyone's kumihimo library. It walks you through several different braids on the disk and plate, rather than just endless color variations on the same round braid as some other books do. So if you are looking for some different structures or ways to play with the braids, you should check this out. As another reviewer on this site noted, the plate/square disk used for reference in this book is the Hamanaka brand which has a different slot layout than the Beadsmith brand, which is more common in the US. If you have a Beadsmith plate, you will need to follow the diagrams rather than the numbering guide for the instructions, but it's not that difficult to do.

a nice book. I am somewhat new to kumihimo (I have learned how to spell it, but pronouncing it takes some thought...). I had no difficulty following the patterns.

This book is the perfect gift for someone just learning how to do this craft.

Love the book but there is nothing easy about it. Shipping was very prompt and the price was o.k. I would recommend this book to someone a little more advanced than the beginner stage.

Explains things clearly and has good patterns.

Super livre pour bien commencer le kumihimo.

Non ho ancora avuto modo di provare gli schemi ma sembra molto carino e semplice anche per chi si è appena approcciata a questa arte come me! La consegna è stata rapidissima e l'imballaggio ottimo. Contiene istruzioni per fare intrecci round e flat, più utili indicazioni su come concludere ogni cordoncino e istruzioni extra su come lavorare aggiungendo perline, davvero sfizioso e il formato grande facilita la comprensione. 4 stelle e non 5 solo perché non ho ancora provato a fare gli schemi! Ma sono decisamente soddisfatta!

👍

So easily explained braiding wheel patterns, love it !

Arrived on time as stated, a great gift for crafters
