Repeat Step 2 but this time use the sharp end of the needle as you work back across the beads. Note: This is not easy the first time, the fifth time, the fiftieth time! Take your time. Thread on your first row of beads. Press the beads up through the warp threads. Pass your needle, eye end first, through the beads working from right to left, making sure you are above the warp threads. Pass the thread, from left to right, under the warp threads. Anchor the end of the thread to the loom.

This design at 6-1/2″ long takes about 5-6 yards of thread I work with about 2-1/2 yards at a time. Add a needle to a comfortable length of thread. Repeating all the way across so every other thread is above the separator. Insert the warp separator, passing it working from right to left, over the first warp thread, under the next. I’m using a clasp that slides over the end of the beadwork and, determined with Delicas, the design needs to be 12 beads wide for this size clasp. Once you establish your warp threads, you can’t change the length.Įstablish your warp threads. Set up your beading loom according to manufacturer’s instructions and based on the length of your design.

Beads – most looms will work with any size and type of bead.

Thread – you can use any you prefer that is suitable for the beads in your design.Loom – there are so many on the market, use your favorite or try a new one! These instructions are based on working with the Little Ricky Beading Loom.Here is the project for each of you to share, and if you have any questions please leave a comment. One of the ladies asked my mom to watch as I made a second bracelet so she’d be able to help when they sat down together to loom. My mom snapped a quick picture of the beaded design made on a beading loom then texted it to a few of the ladies. L to r: Tammy Honaman, June Beach, Julianna Avelar, inventor of the Jewel Loom And I was excited for her (not to mention, shamefully boasted that Julianna and I are friends! Here we are with June Beach in the middle). She was so excited to share her purchase and her excitement over trying the techniques, a dding that her “Beading Friday” ladies were also excited and would be bringing their looms to an upcoming Beading Friday.

Was it something I said? Coming back a minute later, she held out her new loom (the Jewel Loom) along with the Jewel Loom Inspirations book, and Friendship Bracelet DVD. I did just that this past weekend (sharing my latest beading loom “creation” with my mom) along with the new Little Ricky Loom I used to make the design. It also takes me back to those summer camp days, when we shared our creations and stories with our parents at dinner. It took me me right back to those hot summer days. All things I remember well, along with being really hot and thirsty! (We didn’t carry water bottles around with us “back then.”)įast forward to today, looking at all we do and create during the summer months, how many of us still draw from those early experiences? I know I do and I know it gave me a thrill to sit down and create a new loom-woven bracelet on the new Little Ricky Beading Loom. During summer break, my sibs and I would bounce from one park to the next to attend various “camps.” Nock Hockey. Growing up we had a lot of public parks in our area.
