Before you try this, get used to making a standard kumihimo braid. For full instructions see our lilac kumihimo bracelet.

Using S-Lon thread instead of rattail, thread a quarter of a pack of size 8 seed beads on to each thread until you have 8 beaded threads. Tie together.

Set up your kumihimo board as you would for a standard kumihimo braid, winding the threads into the no-tangle bobbins and leaving the beads outside the bobbin.

Braid a few cms using just the threads, then bring one bead up each time you work a thread and position it at the top of the working thread. Repeat until your bracelet is the desired length.

Whip the ends as with a normal kumihimo braid and glue on end caps.
