I have been a bit late with this post. My in-laws had come for a short visit and so we were busy showing them around, though we had to cancel lot of our plans because of the heavy rains here.There have been lots of things lately that has peeked my interest in the diy front, I got some polymer clay, glass etching paint and I also want to do more shadow boxes. I got 2 likes for my shadow box in etsy store, I know its a very small number, but it inspires me, so lets see.Today I want to share with you my latest and one of my favorite creation - my first kumihomo necklace. I have a necklace I bought from India years ago and it is still one of my favorite, but it was 2 weeks ago that I realized that it was made by the Kumihimo technique and so I want to give it a try right away.Unfortunately, I wont be able to explain the beading process without a vblog and there are many great vblogs about this, so I'll just hope to peek your interest and if you want to try it -1. Get a Kumihimo beading kit (I got mine from Beadaholic)2. Link to the Video I followed - How to Make the Long Beaded Kumihimo Necklace Kit It takes at-least 6 hours, I took longer to complete it. Bracelets should be easier though. So yes, it requires lot of effort, but I did love the end product, so worth the extra effort.Initially I had few starting issues which can be seen in the braid-I missed few beads :), but later on I got a hang of it. This is totally something you can do while watching tv. To be true I found it relaxing, maybe its because I was a bit stressed at work. So I hope you try it.Have a great rest of your day.Keep smiling!
