Braiding with Beads 2: Braiding Solutions for the Kumihimo Disk starts with just adding beads and then gets more creative with every variation. It has more advanced beading techniques.
Kumihimo Combinations is about combining different colors, materials, stitches, and braiding patterns. Keep your projects interesting and add some spice.
Karen DeSousa was a Des Moines native. After retirement, she discovered the craft world of beading design and later, kumihimo, a traditional Japanese braiding art. She took classes, advanced rapidly and “unretired” to start a successful web-based business, Accent Bead Design, creating beaded designs and craft design books and selling materials in the U.S. and internationally. As an emerging American expert applying kumihimo to jewelry arts, Karen attended international conferences in the U.S., Kyoto, Japan and Manchester, England. She published 11 bead craft and kumihimo braiding books that were sold around the world. She also taught classes throughout the U.S. [source]

This is a foam Kumihimo disk that helps to keep strands of your braid organized. It is sturdy with numbered slots to make it easier to keep you organized. The hole in the middle is a good size to fit your cord with a enough space to grow. This is a must tool for working with Kumihimo just shy of a Marudai.
Thread snips are great for all kinds of crafts, yet especially for seed bead weaving. You can get a very close cut. This product lasts a long time and when it does finally get dull, it is not costly to replace them.
