Trace a large circle on a flat piece of cardboard. Trace a smaller circle inside so the ring has about 2-3 inches between the outer ring and the inner ring.

Using a marker or other writing utensil, divide the ring into quarters. Then split the quarters by half, and then split the eights by half so all 16 points have been marked.

Cut out both circles and cut small slit along the 16 points that have been marked.

Cut the thread to 10-inches or 1.75 times the desired length, four threads of each color, and knot all threads together at one end. Place the knot in the center of the Kumihimo Disk.

Take two threads of one color and place them in neighboring slots. Take the final two threads of this color and place them on the opposite side of the first pair. Repeat with the other colors while keeping space between all pairs.

Choose on color and position the Kumihimo disk so one set of that color is on top. Take the right most thread of the top pair and bring it down to the spot directly to the right of the bottom pair. Take the left most thread of the bottom pair and bring it up to the left most slot next to the thread on top.

Turn the ring counterclockwise and repeat on the next color.

Repeat the last two steps until the desire length is reach,

Remove embroidery cord from the Kumihimo and tie a knot at the other end!
