You'll learn three versatile techniques with this kit: 1) Starting in the middle, 2) Loading beads for a specific design pattern and 3) Attaching Magnetic End Caps. This necklace is designed with 20 \"sections\" of color-blocking with a contrasting swirl that winds the entire length of the braid. The finished necklace is about 19\" or so or as short as you like (just use less beads). \u003c\/span\u003eThis necklace showcases a gorgeous handmade Boro Glass focal bead. The focal bead has metallic accents that give the bead alot of sizzle. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eYou will need\u003c\/strong\u003e: Kumihimo Disk (I like to use the Beadsmith THICK Mini), 9 Bobbins, Scissors, Tape Measure, Glue to attach end caps (I use WeldBond available at Ace Hardware and some craft stores), Needle \u0026amp; Thread or Cord Zapper to finish ends.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eYou should know\u003c\/strong\u003e: Kongoh Gumi braid structure (also called Round Braid) and how to drop beads.
