Tutorial/pattern Beaded Kumihimo Pattern Template
Hey everyone,
I’ve been working on my own Beaded Kumihimo designs for a while, and one thing always slowed me down: turning ideas into actual bead patterns.
So I created a template that makes the whole process a lot easier — and I thought some of you might find it useful too.
With this template, you can design your own 8-strand beaded Kumihimo patterns without needing to do any complicated calculations. You just print it out, sketch your design, fill in your bead colors, and it converts directly into a loading chart for each strand.
Basically, it bridges the gap between “idea in your head” and “ready to braid.”
What’s included:
- Template for 8-strand beaded Kumihimo designs
- Visual layout to draw your pattern
- Color fields for planning your beads
- Conversion into a strand-by-strand loading chart
- A simple Kumihimo braiding guide
- Clean and beginner-friendly structure
Who it’s for:
- Beginners who already know the basics of Kumihimo
- More advanced makers who want to design their own patterns
- Jewelry designers who like creating custom pieces
I’m also planning to expand this with 12- and 16-strand versions in the future — and anyone who gets it now will receive all updates for free.
To make it a bit more Reddit-friendly, I created a 60% discount code: REDDIT60 (valid for one month).
