Kumihimo is a type of braiding most of us probably did as a kid. We made friendship bracelets out of string using this type of braiding technique. What turns these braided pieces into an artform is selecting the types of beads and creating the patterns to make each piece unique. The prices will range from a standard beaded piece ($30) to a more intricate design with one of a kind beads ($180).
