A video tutorial demonstrating how to make a larger bead kumihimo necklace. The idea is to make the central section with the large focal beads using tigertail, making the crimped loop at the end large enough for four strands of (satin) cord to go through. Then you fold those in half, giving you eight strands to make a standard eight-strand round braid. Then do the same on the other side, and finish as one would any kumihimo braid. Thus you have a central section with the beads, framed by kumihimo braids on each side. Pretty nifty.
