This choker features the classic 8-strand kumihimo braid with the addition of some gold glamour.
Several readers have reported a difficulty finding rattail kumihimo cord. This necklace will remind you that you can use other types of stringing material to make a unique kumihimo braid in your Dazzle-it disk.
You can see here that I used traditional rattail but also added cotton wax cord and a gold specialty braid found in the ribbon department of my local craft store.
When the braid was complete I added the end caps and then my lightweight aluminum chain.
The new aluminum chain in the catalog is available in several sizes and colours.
Kumihimo braids will always look different if you add in fibers that are unexpected.
End caps can be purchased in various sizes. The largest one finished this necklace beautifully.
