1. If you are new to working with the Jewel Loom, please watch our video: How to Use the Jewel Loom Beading Loom. From what you learned in this video you will set up your loom using the grooves for each warp thread. You will set it up so you have 18 warp threads.
2. Once you have your loom set up, thread your size 12 beading needle with about 4 feet of thread. You will want to use a size 12 needle with this project. See and example of this here: Quick Tip: Switching out your Loom Needle When Using Smaller Beads. Then 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. Then trim the ends. Slide the beadwork into the clasp. Then finish the clasp,by using a pair of chain nose pliers to help bend down the ends of the clasp.
