Retired - Dancefloor 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. 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 new type of loom.
2. You will need to tie off and add new thread as you work. If you are not familiar with how to do this, watch this video.
3. Use white NYMO thread to set up your beading loom with 26 warp threads about 5.25" long. Remember, this is the length from the outside edges of the warp rods.
4. As demonstrated in the video, begin to weave your bracelet. Using size 11/0 Miyuki Delica beads in opaque chalk white, luminous lime aid, luminous creamsicle, and luminous cotton candy, follow the pattern, adding one extra row of white beads at the beginning. These will fit inside the slide ends. Repeat the pattern four more times, then add one extra row of white beads at the end.
5. 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.
6. Use pliers to fold down one end on a silver 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.
7. Open the attached rings on one of the tube slide ends and insert a magnetic barrel clasp into each ring. Close the rings.
8. On the other tube slide end, open the attached rings and attach the other sides of the magnetic clasps. Close the rings.
