Remember Elle Woods?
She's the really superficial and fashionable law student from Legally Blonde.
{played by Reese Witherspoon}
Full disclosure: I L.O.V.E this movie...and I'm a lawyer who
is more obsessed with beading than with the law.
So there's that.
A few years ago, people literally went KUMIHIMO crazy.
Everybody and their mother had a Kumihimo Key Chain, perfectly
paired with a cord known as rat tail. (Yeah...the name doesn't
do the cord justice)
Eventually, however, people got tired of it. As is to be expected.
Fast Forward a few years, and here we are today... re-discovering
this beautiful knot known as Kumihimo.
Except this time, we're doing Kumihimo in a much more fashion
forward way. We thought to ourselves:
How would Elle Woods wear a Kumihimo Necklace?
This tutorial is our answer to that question. Find out exactly how Elle Woods
would do it in the video at the bottom of this article.
