Retired - Red and Green Candy Cane Christmas Ornament

PROJECT C703
Designer: Julie Bean
Skill Level: Intermediate
Create a fun and festive holiday decoration using one of the most popular jewelry making techniques - kumihimo! Red and green seed beads have been braided into a spiral pattern to create an iconic candy cane design.
Instructions

Note: Components and tools listed within this INSTRUCTIONS box and the printer-friendly PDF, if available, may have been discontinued since this project was published. Refer to the PURCHASE COMPONENTS and TOOLS AND OTHER SUPPLIES sections for current availability.

This candy cane is made using the same 8-warp kumihimo technique that you would use to make a bracelet. You will also be finishing the ends in a very similar manner to how you would finish bracelet ends. The only real variation is that you are braiding around a wire core which will allow you to shape the braid into a candy cane.
  1. To see how to make this project from start to finish, please watch the video: How to Make a Beaded Kumihimo Candy Cane Christmas Ornament.
  2. In the video you will learn how to add beads to your threads, wind a bobbin, place the threads on the disk, braid with beads and without, how to add a wire core, and how to finish your ends.
