Who this list is for
This list is built for anyone organizing a kumihimo key fob activity for six people. It’s right for craft nights, small workshops, or family gatherings where each person will make a short braided key fob using a round kumihimo foam disk and satin rattail cord. If you want a practical, hands-on crafting session—not a friendship-bracelet project—this is the right set of supplies.
How to use this list
Gather all your materials before you start. Each person needs access to a round kumihimo foam disk and eight lengths of satin rattail cord (48 total for six people). Lay out the key rings, lobster clasps, and cord end caps so everyone can reach them. Set out jewelry adhesive, jewelry pliers, sharp scissors, measuring tape, and both sizes of binder clips. Use the bead organizer to keep hardware sorted. As you work, measure cords, braid on the disks, and finish fobs with end caps and adhesive.
What to skip
Don’t substitute embroidery floss for satin cord—the results won’t be sturdy or polished. Avoid using glue that isn’t made for jewelry; it won’t hold. Skip unnecessary extras like beads or charms if you’re keeping it simple. There’s no need for fancy packaging or extra tools. Make sure not to use dull scissors, as they’ll fray the cord ends.
What is on this list
This list includes a round kumihimo foam disk, 48 lengths of satin rattail cord, six key rings, six lobster clasps, and twelve cord end caps. You’ll also need jewelry adhesive, sharp scissors, measuring tape, binder clips (both regular and small), jewelry pliers, and a bead organizer to keep small parts in order. Cross off items you already own, like scissors or measuring tape, before you shop.
Before you go
Double-check that you have enough cord and all hardware pieces for six people. Test your jewelry adhesive to make sure it hasn’t dried out. Sharpen or replace scissors if needed. Set up a clean workspace and lay out the disks and cords for easy access. Having everything ready before the group arrives makes the session run smoothly and keeps everyone focused on braiding.
