    NEW     THE DIVA CUSTOM CORD MAKER

    Making amazing cords has never been easier!
    EASY AS 1-2-3!

    Have you tried "kumihimo", beautiful as it is, it does take time to learn.
    Making cords with this Diva Cord Maker is so easy that children can do it.

    If you can count to 3 then you are on your way to a beautiful cord.

    The cord maker comes with 3 acrylic templates each with a different size hole in the middle. 
    You use the template that is the right diameter for the cord that you want to make.
    You can make cords from very fine to cords made from strips of fabric. 
    What a great way to be able to match whatever you need.

    I have had so much fun with my Diva Cord Maker and I know that you will too!

    Acyrlic Templates

    3 acrylic templates with 1/4", 1/2" and 1" center holes depending on the diameter of the cord that you want to make.  The templates are actually clear when you are using them, you just peel off the protective brown paper.

    8 Medium Bobbins

    These bobbins are used for heavier threads or for very long cords of finer threads.

    8 Small Bobbins and a Tension Clip

    These bobbins are used for finer threads.
    The clip holds the threads at the starting point and while you work on the cord.

    DIVA.............$49.98

    INTRODUCTORY SPECIAL.......$43.98

    Everything you need to get started comes in the kit
    except your threads, fibers, or yarns, etc.

    To use:           

    • You need 7 lengths of yarn, fibers, threads - depending upon your desired outcome.
    • You use 7 bobbins and wind each bobbin with your length of fiber--you need 1 1/2 to 2 times your desired finished length of each fiber. 
    • Leave about 5-6"  unwound and tie the group of fibers together in a knot.  Insert the knot through the hole of the disk that is the correct size for your fibers and then clamp the tension clip to the knot.  This serves as a weight to hold the threads downward. 
    • Turn the disk over and insert the fibers into each slot with one left empty.
    • One more thing, place that elastic band that comes in the kit around your wrist.  You will see why later.
    • Now you are ready to start cording. Always hold the disk with the empty slot toward you. Count 3 slots to the right if you are right handed (left if you are left handed) pick up that fiber and place it in the empty slot.
    • Turn the disk so the empty slot is toward you and repeat.
    • It can't be easier than that!  It works up very quickly--depending upon the diameter of your threads.
    • If the phone rings or if you have to set it down, use that elastic band and wrap it around the threads--then they will stay in place. 
    • There is no problem picking it up again wondering where to start as you alway start with the empty slot pointing towards you.
    Easy as 1-2-3!

    You can also buy Large Bobbins for working with strips of fabric.

    You only need 7 bobbins as one slot is always open. The base of this bobbin is 3 1/2" in diameter. (9cm)
