Seafoam NecklaceThis project is made on a Japanese Marudai braiding table. The literal translation for Marudai is “round table” and that exactly what it is—a round table about three feet high with a small hole in its center. With this kit, you will learn both how to set up the Marudai and how to do the actual braiding. You can complete this necklace in just a few hours. Making the Kumihimo necklace is so very fast that you will no doubt want to make lots of them. The braid used to make the Sea Foam Necklace is a most unique and inventive kumihimo braid. When completed, it will seem as though strands of interior beads are caged inside of an exterior braid. And you can see that the color way is reversed for the second side of the necklace to achieve a complete color transformation.
