Please note you will also want a scrap piece of wire or toothpick to apply your glue.To make this bracelet, you will be watching a series of videos. You will also be following the loom pattern that goes with the project.
- Thread 8 feet of nymo thread onto you loom needle.
- To begin, please watch the video: How to Use the Jewel Loom Beading Loom. From what you learn in this video, please thread your loom with 15 warp threads so that you can create a beaded piece that is 14 beads wide.
- Following what you learned in the video and your pattern, do the beadwork on your loom. When you get to within 15 inches of thread, please watch the video: How to Tie Off and Add More Thread in Loom Work. You will need to add another length of thread, again make it around 8 feet long. Add your thread and continue beading. When you are all done, tie your weft threads off and work in their tales.
- To finish off your beadwork and remove it from the loom, please watch the video: How to Finish Off Traditional Loom Work and Add a Slider Clasp.
- Finally, please watch: How to Add a Beadslide Clasp to Loom Work. This video will show you how to add the clasp.
- If at any time during this project you get confused, there is also a video titled: How to Make the Beaded Loom Bracelet Kits by Beadaholique that will show you all the steps in one video. The only difference is that you will be using a different clasp, but still the same general type of clasp (a slide).
