Kumihimo Braiding for Jewelry Designers
by Anne Dilker
Making cords is fun, easy and fast. In fact, a technique that looks this great shouldn’t be this easy!
Kumihimo (pronounced koo-mee-HEE-mo) is the ancient art of Japanese board braiding. While there
are many braid structures that can be worked within the universe of board braiding, this booklet will
concentrate on one easy-to-master braid. This braid can be made by children as young as 7; ’tweens are
huge fans of it; teenagers tend to be “speed braiders”; and adults find it to be “Zen-like”, relaxing and
engaging without requiring concentration. The projects in this booklet progress from easy to more
advanced. Hangable softcover, 24 pages, measures 5-1/2” x 8-1/2”.

Braiding for Beaders, 2nd Edition
by Anne Dilker
This second edition of a highly popular book on kumihimo braiding for jewelry designers adds:
4 new pages with instructions for a focal Celtic knot and 2 new bracelet projects; more discussion of
beaded braids; and an expanded explanation of the 4-warp braid. The bulk of the projects use a very
easy-to-make 8-warp round braid that seems to be the most popular with beaders & jewelry designers
(there is also one 4-warp braid project). The 8-warp braid is quick to produce on a foam kumihimo
disk, is easy to master, and lends itself nicely to jewelry design. Add the explosion in textiles available
to modern artists and there is no limit to what you can do with this one simple braid structure!
Spiral-bound softcover, 32 pages, measures 8-1/2" x 11".
