I've never seen this technique before nor have I seen a handmade loom like this one. No muss or fuss, just a simple design with the flexibility to expand or reduce one's work.Brilliant.

Will do! I have a leather western style hat from the Hensel Hat co. that I wear a lot and could use a band. gives me something to practice for

[@gloriathomas9873]

Love your looming video my problem is finishing of for chat band. By suggestions

[@moo1bug2]

I started a piece of beading for a bracelet, but my pattern turned out to be too long. It turned into a hat band, but I don't know how long to make the beaded part. Are they all the same length? By the by, your beading style is great. Gotta try that.

[@OzziesOddities]

Wow that's impressive. How long would a project like that take?

[@AxePaddleBushcraft]

About a day

[@jenny9249]

Can you do more videos on weaving

[@karryvalencia1901]

[@midnitewaterchief]

Any suggestions on good looms for hat bands? Other than the hazel stick? All of the ones i find are very small! Thank you :)

We can make up a kit for you for £45 plus P&P

[@pricklypear7934]

you can roll your extra cordage(beaded warp threads) around the base of a loom(dowel rods at the ends of the looms) and as you progress you take the piece off the loom and wrap it around the other end. Kind of like a scroll. You weave in tension threads at the base of the warps threads to hold the tension while you are scrolling the piece up. For better understanding pull up an image search for "anatomy of a beading loom. " This technique can be a clumsy to do at first, but with more practice it becomes second nature.

thanks for the video

[@robertbrunston5406]

Thank you.

[@maxinelinley1450]

What size needle

[@drummz1661]

Hey man! What thread is that? I’m new to this and want to do it right so that my work lasts, thanks.

[@AxePaddleBushcraft]

Just a strong cotton thread. Good luck!

[@prophetpit]

what's the difference between bead weaving n the other way of looming?? where u go under with beads n then lock em by going thru the upper ???

[@AxePaddleBushcraft]

You don't go back through the bead here. They're held in place by the threads. This kind of beadwork typically would have been backed with leather or something similar and sewn onto clothing/blankets etc.

[@robineisenberg7548]

its one extra correct of the warp theads im a beaded tapestry artist

[@craftbegins9463]

Nice

[@robineisenberg7548]

you dont find it easier the bead loom way stringing all the beads across on your warp thread and then bringing it under the threads and put one bead in-between every 2 threads much easier my pieces are like 275 across
