Alicorn Loom Bracelet

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.

1. If you are new to working with the Jewel Loom, please watch our video: How to Use the Jewel Loom Beading Loom. Then, please watch our Quick Tip video: How to Set up the Jewel Loom for Large Beads. From what you learned in those videos you will set up your loom using the grooves and skipping one notch in-between each warp thread. You will set it up so you have 9 warp threads.
2. Once you have your loom set up, thread your needle with about 4 feet of thread and begin adding your beads. Choose a random color pattern when picking up the beads. Continue weaving until you have added your main length. Keep in mind that the clasp will accommodate up to 2 extra inches. Tie off and weave in your weft thread tails.
3. Then please watch our video: How to Finish Off Traditional Loom Work and Add a Slider Clasp. From what you learned in the video, cut the piece off of the loom, and tie together your threads. Because you will have 9 threads, simply tie off the last three together instead of the last two. Then trim the ends. Before you add the slide clasp, take your pliers and slip them into the tube, and pry open the clasp a little bit. This will help accommodate the larger beads. Do this from both sides of the clasp. To finish the clasp, use a pair of chain nose pliers to help bend down the ends of the clasp.
