These instructions will give you a bracelet that fits a 6.5 inch wrist, but is adjustable. The bead weaving loom portion is 4.5" and the faux leather portion adds about 1 1/4 inches. When you tie the ultra suede cord, you will be able to tie it an adjust the length.
- Begin by watching our video: How to Use the Jewel Loom Beading Loom. You will use the Nymo to set up your loom as shown in the video. For this pattern you will need 18 warp threads.
- Once your loom is set up, thread your loom needle with a length of Nymo. Use a length that you are comfortable working with, you will need to tie off and add new thread to your loom as you work. Please note that you will need a long tail of at least 2 feet at the beginning of your loom work to tie off and finish it at the end.
- Follow the pattern image in this tutorial and bead the length of the pattern.
- For this next step, please watch our video to learn How to Finish off Beaded Loom Work with Faux Leather. From what you saw in the video you will weave back and forth with the thread to create a section for your ends to attach. Cut the faux leather and the ultra suede. The two faux leather pieces will be a 1 1/4 inch square. The ultra suede can be about 10 inches each. Please note these are guides, if you need to adjust the length please do so for your wrist. Continue to add the glue, remove the piece from the loom and add the final faux leather portion as seen in the video.
