Kumihimo - tutorial; flat braid with hearts
I thought I´d post a tutorial of a kumihimo pattern; flat 12-tread braid with heart pattern: For about 2 bracelets (finished length 30+ cm), I used 6 x 1,20 m lengths; 5 x 1 mm cords in dark blue satin and 1 x 2mm cord in pink satin. The thicker cord might be a bit shorter if you want. Lay the threads double and place the 12 threads in the starting position as shown under.

Caged Wire-Wrapped Beads Bracelet
Theses headbands I want to keep for myself. Really, I can't decide which I like better the beads or the rhinestones. I know Allie won't want to take them off.
