You can use single-strand clasps

instead of a four-strand version.
To use one clasp, like the magnetic
one in the ruby bracelet, attach it
to the center 80 at each end of the
bracelet. For two clasps, attach them
to the first and third 80s at each end
of the bracelet, as was done with the
foldover clasps in the gray bracelet.

(4.1 m) lengths of S-Lon cord. For the

bracelet, cut four 112-yd. (1.4 m) lengths.
Holding all four cords together, fold
them in half, and tie an overhand knot
near the fold. Feed the knot through
the center hole of the kumihimo disk
from front to back, and attach a weight
or large binder clip near the knot.
2 Referring to figure 1, position a cord
in the slit just to the left of the top-center
or 12 oclock position of the disk
(between 31 and 32 on a numbered
disk). Position another cord in the slit
just to the right of the 12 oclock position (between 31 and 1). Position the
remaining cords as follows:
Just above the 3 oclock position
(between 7 and 8)
Just below the 3 oclock position
(between 8 and 9)
Just to the right of the 6 oclock position (between 15 and 16)
Just to the left of the 6 oclock position
(between 16 and 17)
Just below the 9 oclock position
(between 23 and 24)
Just above the 9 oclock position
(between 24 and 25)
For clarity, in figure 1 the cords are
color-coordinated in pairs, which will
help to show the movements described
below. If youd like, use a permanent
marker to color the very tip of each
cord to match the figure.

rotations, creating about 14 in. (6 mm)

of braid. Note: the slit numbers wont
match up to those in the first rotation,
but the cord movements will always
be the same. When you complete
the fourth rotation, your cords will
occupy the same slits as in figure 1,
although the cord colors will be in
different positions.
7 Thread a Big Eye needle on the topleft cord (31/32 slit), and string 80 80
seed beads for a necklace or 28 80s for
a bracelet. To keep the beads from sliding off, wrap the beaded cord around a
bobbin, and secure. Working clockwise
around the disk, repeat for the remaining cords as follows, always stringing
80 beads per cord for the necklace
or 28 beads per cord for the bracelet:
Top-right cord (32/1 slit): 7 mm button
flowers
Top 3 oclock cord (7/8 slit): color A
4 x 7 mm long magatamas (string
them so they all angle the same way)
Bottom 3 oclock cord (8/9 slit):
color B 4 x 7 mm long magatamas
(string them so they angle the same
way as the previous cord)
Bottom-right cord (15/16 slit): alternate color A magatamas and 80s
Bottom-left cord (16/17 slit): color C
Bottom 9 oclock cord (23/24 slit):
4 mm pearls
Top 9 oclock cord (24/25 slit): color D
8 Continue working as in steps 25, but
as you pick up each cord, slide a bead
down so it rests under the horizontal
cords in the center hole, and then position the working cord in the correct slit
on the opposite side of the disk. As you
work, try to keep the point of the braid
(where the cords are crossing) almost
level with the top surface of the disk,
and again make sure that each bead
sits under the horizontal cords. Nudge
the button flowers and long magatamas if necessary so that they point
toward the outside of the braid.
9 When you run out of beads, work
as in steps 25 without beads for four
complete rotations.

Helen Lamb-Orendorf started

beading 11 years ago. Around
that time, a couple of her
friends were into cutting,
polishing, and wire wrapping
their own cabochons. Helen was soon
hooked. Now she works at Discount Beads
in Las Vegas, where she learned techniques
like bead weaving and kumihimo. She also
teaches beading classes at The Caring
Place, a program of the Nevada Childhood
Cancer Foundation. Contact Helen at
orendorf@att.net.
10 Remove the braid from the disk,

and stretch it to relax the tension. With
all eight cords, tie an overhand knot
as close to the braid as possible. Trim
the cord ends close to each knot.
Finishing
1 Cut a 6-in. (15 cm) piece of 22-gauge

wire. Form the wire into a U-shape, and
slide it through one of the knots. Wrap
one end of the wire tightly around the
braid once or twice, and trim.
2 Apply glue to the knot and the inside
of an end cap. String the end cap onto
the wire, covering the knot, and allow
the glue to dry completely.
3 Repeat steps 1 and 2 at the other
end of the braid.
4 With the wire on each end of the
braid, make the first half of a wrapped
loop. Attach half of the clasp, and complete the wraps. To add length to the
piece, use assorted jump rings and links
to attach each half of the clasp to the
wrapped loops. You may also choose
to attach a charm to half of the clasp,
as in the bracelet. w

the tail is not shown in the photos, only
the working thread.
2 Sew through the next triangle, and

continue through the open hole of the
same triangle. Sew through the open
hole of the next two triangles, and continue through the same hole of the first
triangle. Pull the thread tight so that the
bases of the triangles are centered in
the ring (photo b).
3 Pick up a SuperDuo, and sew through
the same hole of the next triangle.
Repeat this stitch twice, and exit a triangle (photo c). Sew through the other
hole of the same triangle.
4 Continue through the open hole of
the next SuperDuo, and sew through
the corresponding hole of the following
triangle. Repeat this stitch twice, and
exit a SuperDuo.
5 Pick up three 150s, and sew through
the other hole of the same SuperDuo.
Pick up three 150s, sew through the first
hole of the SuperDuo, and continue
through the corresponding hole of the
next triangle and SuperDuo (photo d).
Repeat these stitches to embellish the
remaining two SuperDuos, and exit
a triangle.
6 Pick up a 150, skip the next SuperDuo,
and sew through the following triangle.
Repeat this stitch twice to form a tight
trio of 150s at the top of the button
(photo e).
7 Sew through the beadwork to exit a
triangle on the bottom of the button,
and work as in step 6. End the working
thread and tail.
8 With the working thread from the
band exiting the last three O-beads,
pick up four 150s. Sew through the

center of the toggle button, pick up
a 150, sew back through the button,
and continue back through the last
150 just added.
note
If the opening at the top and/or

bottom of the button is large enough
to allow a 150 to slip through, substitute a coordinating 110 for the 150
on that side of the button.
Pick up three 150s, and sew through
the end three O-beads in the band
(photo f). Retrace the thread path of
the button connection, and end the
working thread.
9 With the tail from the band exiting
the first three O-beads, pick up enough
150s (about 27) to form a loop around
the button. Sew through the three
O-beads again. Test the loop around
the button, and add or omit 150s as
needed. Retrace the thread path of
the loop, and end the tail. w

Wrapped teardrop links

wire, and center the 10 mm briolette
on the wire. Place the briolette inside
a 20 x 11 mm teardrop link. With each
end of the wire, wrap around the teardrop link toward the tip, pulling the wire
tight with chainnose pliers after each
wrap (photo a). When you reach
the tip of the link, trim the excess wire,
and tuck in the ends with chainnose
pliers. Repeat with the four remaining
8 mm briolettes.
Beaded strands
1 Cut two 8-in. (20 cm) pieces of

leather cord.
2 On one end of one piece of leather,

use an awl (or a tack and a hammer)
to punch two holes about 12 in. (1.3 cm)
from the end. Make sure the holes are
centered, spaced 5 mm apart, and in a
straight line across the width (photo b).
Avoid making the holes too big; they
should be just large enough to string a
piece of beading wire through. Repeat
at one end of the other piece of leather.
3 Cut two 8-in. (20 cm) pieces of beading wire.
4 On one end of a wire, string a crimp
bead. Pass the wire through the crimp
bead again in the same direction, forming a small loop around one side of the
crimp bead. Use chainnose pliers to flatten the crimp bead (photo c). Repeat to
crimp the other wire.
5 Lay one piece of leather horizontally
on your work surface. In this position,
one hole is at the top of the leather
(this will be for the top strand), and
the other hole is at the bottom (for
the bottom strand). String one wire
through each hole, back to front, so
that the crimp beads are at the back
of the leather (photo d).
6 String the top strand as follows
(photo e):
Beginning pattern: three 2.5 x 4 mm
rondelles.
Dangle pattern: 4 x 2 mm round
dangle, rondelle. Repeat four times.
Briolette pattern: 5 x 3 mm round
dangle, rondelle, 6 mm briolette,
rondelle. Repeat twice, and then
string a 5 x 3 mm round dangle and
a rondelle.
String the dangle pattern from before,
and end with three rondelles. You will
have two rondelles left over; set them
aside for Finishing.

7 String the top strand through the

corresponding hole in the other piece
of leather, front to back. String a crimp
bead, and hold it close to the leather
so that the first and last beads of
the strand are snug but not too tight
(photo f). Pass the wire through the
crimp bead again, forming a small
loop, and use chainnose pliers to
flatten the crimp bead.
8 Tightly close all the 4 mm jump rings
so that their ends are flush. String the
bottom strand as follows (photo g):
Beginning pattern: 4 mm round bead,
4 mm jump ring, 7 x 4 mm flat circle
dangle, jump ring. Repeat twice more,
and then string a round bead.
Teardrop pattern: jump ring, wrapped
teardrop link with 8 mm briolette,
jump ring.
Round bead pattern: round bead,
jump ring, flat circle dangle, jump ring,
round bead.
Alternate stringing the teardrop pattern and the round bead pattern until
youve strung all five wrapped teardrop
links. The teardrop link with the 10 mm

briolette should be at the center.
String the beginning pattern once
more.
9 End the bottom strand as in step 7.
10 Trim the wire exiting each crimp
bead to 14 in. (6 mm). Fold each piece
of leather where the strands exit, and
glue the 12-in. (1.3 cm) end to the back,
covering the crimp beads (photo h).

This bracelet is worked in cubic rightangle weave (CRAW), a 3-D version of

regular right-angle weave. Instead of
square-shaped stitches, your beadwork
will consist of cube-shaped units. Each
unit is made up of six surfaces four
sides, a top, and a bottom. Each surface
consists of four beads, but since the
beads are shared, 12 beads are used
to make the first CRAW unit, and only
eight beads are used for each subsequent unit in the row. After the first row,
even fewer beads will be needed to
construct additional rows.
follows: Pick up an A, sew up through

the end bead in the first stitch (figure 3,
ab), pick up a B, and sew down
through the end bead in the last
stitch (bc). Figure 4 shows a threedimensional view of the resulting cubeshaped unit. Note that the Bs form the
top surface of the unit.
4 To make the unit more stable, sew
through the beadwork to the top of the
unit, and sew through the four Bs that
form the top surface (figure 4). Sew
through the beadwork to the bottom
of the unit, and sew through the four As
that form the bottom surface.

(15 cm) tail. Sew through the next A, B,
and A. This ring of beads will count as
the first stitch of the unit (figure 1).
2 Work two identical right-angle weave
stitches off of the bead your thread is
exiting, making sure there is a B at the
top of each new stitch (figure 2).
3 Join the first and last stitches as
Subsequent CRAW units
1 Each new CRAW unit in row 1 will be

worked off of the side of the previous
unit (see figure 4). For clarity, only the
beads on this side are shown in figures
58. Sew through the beadwork to exit
an A on one side of the unit with your
needle pointing toward the top surface.
2 Pick up a B and two As, and sew
through the A your thread exited at
the start of this step (figure 5, ab).
Continue through the next B on the
top surface of the previous unit (bc).

unit (bc).
4 Pick up two As, and sew through the

of this step (figure 7, ab). Continue
through the next A at the bottom of the
previous unit and the nearest A of the
new unit (bc).
5 Pick up an A, sew through the A
opposite the one your thread is exiting,
and continue through the A at the
bottom of the previous unit (figure 8).
6 To stabilize, sew through the beadwork
to exit the side of the new unit, and sew
through the four beads that form this
surface (figure 9). Exit an A with your

needle pointing toward the top surface.

a side A of the last unit with your needle
pointing toward the top surface. Work
as in steps 26 of Subsequent CRAW
units to add a new unit perpendicular
to the first row. This is the first unit of the
second row.
2 Continue working in cubic rightangle weave to the end of the row,
taking note of the following:
Many of the beads for each unit
are already in place and must simply
be sewn through.
Make sure that each surface of each

unit consists of four beads and that the
Bs are on the top surface.
Remember to stabilize the side of
each new unit.
You dont have to begin every unit by
exiting an A with your needle pointing
toward the top surface. Begin each unit
with whatever side is most convenient
to avoid unnecessary thread paths and
stiff beadwork.
Check your thread tension by flexing
the beadwork often the band should
be supple enough to drape around
your wrist.
End and add thread as needed.
3 Work a total of 44 rows or the desired
length. Note: the clasp takes up about
112 in. (3.8 cm).
