Recommended for long autumn nights. I found a handicraft goods "Kumihimo Maker" at the 100-yen shop "Daiso" and bought it.


Kumihimo is a traditional Japanese craft made by assembling fine silk and cotton threads. I sometimes buy it, but it's a pretty good price ...


You can make such a braid yourself! I immediately made it with the embroidery thread that I had at home.

The braid maker is a soft disc with multiple notches. Each number is assigned, so hook the thread while looking at the layout plan.


All you have to do is move the thread to the other side according to the procedure. Once you remember it, you can do it with almost nothing, so it's an ant to make it during a commercial while watching TV.



However, there is also the drawback that no matter how much you concentrate, you will only progress little by little. I understand the reason why the braids introduced at the beginning are expensive ... (Silk thread in the first place). However, making braids was easier than I expected. There are about 3 types of patterns in the instruction manual, so please try making them by changing the combination of threads, thickness, and material!
