KUMIHIMO Braided Cords Paper Plate Loom! Art of Japan! Middle School Jewelry
- PDF
What educators are saying
Description
Warning: These Braided Cords are Addictive! If you need a fun and easy jewelry or textile-related lesson, this is a FUN art activity that can be created using a paper plate!
- I used this lesson last Spring as students finished their Kente Cloth Cardboard Weaving lesson. These braids were a great "early-finisher" activity to keep students engaged while other students finished up their weavings.
- I used simple paper plates to introduce the braiding method to students using craft yarn.
- Both boys and girls enjoyed making these fascinating round braided cords in a variety of colors. Once students mastered the easy braiding method, I provided store-bought foam Kumihimo looms to highly motivated students.
- I also provided students with nicer, smoother yarn so that students could take the braided cords to a higher level to make finished jewelry with glued-on end caps and clasps
I must admit, I got hooked on the variety of beautiful colors and design combinations that can be created easily. I spent a good amount of time this summer making myself a supply of bracelets to match my work clothes and school colors!
