I really like the concept of making my own findings and end caps, so I was delighted to come across your video - so simple for anyone who has already worked a sample or two of flat peyote stitch Thank you. It is brilliant to come across a video which gets my creativity going.

Omigosh! I am sooo excited to have found this. I didn't like any of the standard closures for my beaded kumihimo bracelet, and this is perfect. Just perfect. Your videos are so clear. And well-narrated. I'm guessing you do or used to do professional voice-over work. Thanks for sharing!

I'm trying to figure out how to attach a clasp inside the end of the beaded end cap. I'm making a necklace with a beaded end cap that should attach to either a chain or another beaded cord. I don't know how to explain it. The necklace is about 5 inches with end caps on each end. I'm thinking of making a peyote with a twist "chain" that will also have end caps, perhaps metal. But I can't figure out how to connect the chain or whatever I use as a chain to the beaded end cap. In one video I saw a clasp coming out of the beaded end cap. In this video, you show a bead at the end - but how did you attach the bead?

Hello. First let me say thank you for sharing. :-) I can't seem to locate the downloadable instructions for this tutorial. Is there a direct link?

@cathyflesher
Glue or stitch, even better with both

[@sameenshakeel7251]

thanks for the tutorial it helped a lot...😊 but can you tell me what kind of thread should i use?.....

[@AvieMare]

Thank you SO much for this invaluable tool for my beading "toolbox." It has come in so handy.

[@sandrabaumgardner1871]

Great tutorial. Just what I've been looking for to close kumihimo work. Just one concern, should I run some glue under the peyote stitch end cap to be sure things stay together?

[@eponymousIme]

I went to the BeadsEast.com site but didn't see any navigational elements (tabs, links)to get to the Tutorials Page or Fiber Bundles page.

[@monacohaven]

Thank you for the clear instruction's. I made a set today.

I am trying to find a pdf for a beaded bead cap pattern for a kumihimo can anyone help me?

[@Cre8tiveConnexions]

Sorry if this is obvious , I'm just a beginner. I would love to do this on my kumihimo braids, but what stops the braid from just pulling out of the cap ?

[@eponymousIme]

You should probably treat it as you would any other kumihimo end cap and glue the heck out of it. I haven't made it yet, but I'm going to make the end cap loose enough to slip over the braid end, so that I'll be able to apply the glue. I'm also going to try attaching a wire in the tied-off ends (before adding the end cap) and running the wire up through the top of the end cap, and then slide the bead onto the wire. Then make a wrapped loop with the wire that's exposed outside the end cap, and that will serve as half the closure... for that side of the bracelet.

this is a very good idea thanks so much for sharing!!

[@perri_6]

Great idea!
How is the bead added at the end of the cap? (Did I miss this step?)

[@kate4121]

I know - it's kind of like writing a book and forgetting to tell you what happens at the end. Very frustrating.
