KUMIHIMO is a centuries-old Japanese technique for braiding threads together to make beautiful, complex cords. Now you can use the same technique to craft unique beaded jewelry. Our designs combine seed beads and magatama beads to create spiraling bead swirls.

 

Our kits that will help you learn this technique while making a beautiful bracelet. From the endless combinations of beads possible, we have selected our favorites for these kits.

 

You can also mix and match your own bead combinations from our

Miyuku bead selection.
