Instructions

Note: Components and tools listed within this INSTRUCTIONS box and the printer-friendly PDF, if available, may have been discontinued since this project was published. Refer to the PURCHASE COMPONENTS and TOOLS AND OTHER SUPPLIES sections for current availability.

This pattern will give you a bracelet that is approximately 6 inches. To adjust the length you can add white beads equally to each side. Just make sure to adjust the initial set up to accommodate the length. The length of the loom work is 5 1/4 inches.
  1. Before you begin, watch the instructional video: How to Use the Ricks Beading Loom. This video will walk you through the process of beading on this loom.
  2. Use white NYMO thread to set up your beading loom with 28 warp threads about 5 1/4 inches long. Remember, this is the length from the outside edges of the warp rods.
  3. As demonstrated in the video, begin to weave your bracelet. Using size 11/0 Miyuki Delica beads. Follow the pattern provided.
  4. Finish the piece as shown in the video, removing it from the loom, spreading the beads evenly to take up the slack in the warp threads, and then tie off and weave in your thread tails.
  5. Use pliers to fold down one end on a gold plated 2 loop tube slide end. Slide the last row of your woven piece into the tube, and then bend down the other end of the tube. Repeat with the second tube slide end on the other end of your woven piece.
  6. To one end, open one jump ring and attach it to the loop of one slide end. Close the jump ring. Add three more jump rings. To the final jump ring, attach one bar from the toggle clasp set. Repeat for the other side of this slide end.
  7. To the other end, open one jump ring and attach it to the loop of one slide end. Close the jump ring. Add one more jump ring. To that final jump ring, attach one circle from the toggle clasp set. Repeat for the other side of this slide end.
  8. All done!
