of  cardboard for Kumihimo support

To begin, cut a circle of about 20cm in diameter from a piece of rigid cardboard, then make a hole of about 2cm in the center of it.

In pen, traced  2 perpendicular lines in a cross. Make 2 more perpendicular lines in the intervals. You will thus obtain 8 lines.

Make notches at the edge of the circle on the 8 lines. And to make assembly easier, number the lines from 1 to 8 in a clockwise direction.

Cut 7 cords of linhasita thread. Here we have cut 6 colored cords in 0.5mm and 1 gold cord in 1mm. This will allow us to obtain a cord of 4mm diameter corresponding to our supports.

You can also adapt this technique with more wires for a wider cord. To do this, simply make more notches in the support.

Tie a knot with the cords to bring them together and then pass the knot through the central hole of the holder. Then place the cords in the notches following the numbers.

Start braiding... Take cord No. 3 and place it in the empty notch to the left. You will always take the 3rd cord to the right after the empty notch.

Continue with the 3rd cord to the right after the empty space, No. 6 which you take to the left into the empty notch. Then No. 1, No. 4, No. 7...

Remember to tighten your wires throughout assembly.

You will gradually see the braid being made on the back of the support.

Once you have the desired length, remove the braid from the support then thread the metal beads onto the cord.

On the central pearl, place the pendant with a ring passed through the hole in the pearl.

Tie a knot with the cords to block the braid then cut the threads.

Place glue in the end caps then insert the cords.

Finally, place the clasp and the extension chain with 4mm rings.

And there you have it! Beautiful creation!
