The flooding here is keeping everyone close to home. Yesterday, we played with beads. I finished a Stars and Stripes Kumihimo bracelet with beads. The pattern is by Gerry Dahm and the button loop tutorial is by Carolyn on her website, "Kumihimo Disk & Plate."
Notes: I used size 6 Czech seed beads by Bead Treasures. Beaded part is 6", and the button is a Buffalo nickle type button, 3/4" long. Button Loop is 7/8" inches long (tight fit), button loop end is 1/4", and button end without beads is 3/8" long. Fits K's wrist which is 5 3/4". About 1/2 tube of each color. Beadalon thread size Tex 210, #18. Red and white: 16 beads each strand. Blue and white: used 12 white beads each strand and 11 blue beads each strand. Red section is 3 1/2", blue section is 2 1/2". Button fastened adds 1" to length of bracelet.
J. made a pretty macrame bracelet with stars and beads for K, and she loved it.
My granddaughter made a Kumihimo fiber bracelet and chose a teddy bear button for a closure.
It turned out so cute.
She also made a beaded door sign for her parakeet named Tiki. So cute!
