  Step 1

  If you dont have one, make a bord cardboard Kumihimo disc according to the image. The disc should have 9 cm diameter and 32 equallu spaced slots. The slots should be cut on 5 ou 6 mm. The center should be cut out.

• 

  Step 2

  Cut the thread in two pieces of equal length so to have 8 pieces.
  Knot together the 8 threads in the middle and pull the knot through the center of the wheel
  Stretch the threads each along a radius of the wheel in the slots :
  Color 1 slot 1 and 2
  Color 2 slot 5 and 6
  Color 3 slot 9 and 10
  Color 4 slot 13 and 14
  Color 1 slot 17 and 18
  Color 2 slot 21 and 22
  Color 3 slot 25 and 26
  Color 4 slot 29 and 30

• 

  Step 3

  Beginning with the color 1, take the thread on the right side and from the upper right to the bottom right next to the thread of same color – from slot 2 to slot 16
  For color 2 move the thread from slot 6 to slot 20
  For color 3 move the thread from slot 10 to slot 24
  For color 4 move the thread from slot 14 to slot 28

• 

  Step 4

  Continue until you have made a complete wheel revolution: you should have the same distribution in the beginning but turned by one slot:

  Color 1 slot 32 and 1
  Color 2 slot 4 and 5
  Color 3 slot 8 and 9
  Color 4 slot 12 and 13
  Color 1 slot 16 and 17
  Color 2 slot 20 and 21
  Color 3 slot 24 and 25
  Color 4 slot 28 and 29

• 

  Step 5

  Continue up to the desired length. Detach the threads from the wheel and tie a knot. Cut the remaining threads. Glue the ends of the bracelets in the end caps and let dry.
  Attach a jump ring to one end and the clasp to the other end with the second jump ring
