Handy kumihimo disc

More than 1000 years ago, this art of braid-making was already in use in Japan. Kumi comes from the Japanese word meaning ‘to braid’ and himo means ‘cord’. Luckily for us, we can use modern kumihimo discs which make the whole process a piece of cake. With a round disc you can braid round cords. With a square disc you can create flat cords. The discs are made from sturdy foam plastic with notches in the sides that hold up to 32 strands in place. Check out the kumihimo discs here!
