I’ve been wanting to get into kandi for a while, but procrastinated until I decided that buying beads is a good enough excuse to get out of the house lol

I bought a sizeable box of various beads from a local arts n crafts store in town. I’m slightly limited as all of the colours they had leaned towards more bright pastel colours (not even a full rainbow, I have no oranges or reds :’3) but it was just the right thing for getting me started so nonetheless.

Starting out was a little bumpy… I remember making my first two bracelets and discovering that they were too loose because I have little bitch wrists, so I had to limit the amount of beads I could use. Took a bit of trial and error but I got the hang of it by my fourth or third bracelet. I remember whilst I was untying one of the loose bracelets I accidentally let all of the beads fall onto the floor and they bounced absolutely everywhere. D: It was disastrous T w T

But anyway, I got the hang of things and here are all of my kandis!!! :3
(Sorry for poor lighting, it was dull weather when I took this photo..)

My favourite one out of the bunch still has to be my puppy kandi. I’ve had these little doggie charms for a while now and have been looking at them and dreaming of the day I finally do something with the damn things lol

I made one kandi based after the colours of my gloomy bear plushie Goober! That was actually the first successful kandi I made on a first try, felt very good in the moment. ^^

My pinkie pie kandi was actually one of the first ones I drafted up but only got around to finishing sometime after I’d made my first three or so kandi.

The Usahana kandi idea came to me based on the colourful flower charms that came with the bead box. I really love this one but today the knot actually came undone! Scary, but thankfully I was just sitting on my bed when it fell apart, and I tied it up again soon after.

And lastly my Ureshii bracelet is based on the cover art for Goreshit’s album Ureshii! which is one of my favourites of his. ^^

I plan to make more edgier bracelets once I get more beads so I can have two kandi cuffs with opposing themed to represent the two wolves inside of me or something like that lmfao

Thank you for reading all my yap if you did! I’ve been having a lot of fun with this new hobby and I wanted to share some of the stuff I’ve made. ^^
