How To Finish Bead Looming

Leslie shows you how she finishes woven bracelets made on a bead loom. She also gives advice about threads and materials to use. A wide eye needle is helpful!

[@debh8001]

Hi Leslie, I loved this video! It would be so great to see you set up a bead loom and how you go about getting such amazing tension throughout your pieces. I am in awe!

[@darlahall6583]

Beautiful Work!! I just finished my First Beaded Bracelet, I’ve made since I learned it at Bible Camp when I was 9 yrs. old. I forgot how to finish it off. So Thank You For this Wonderful Tutorial! I’m now 70! And getting back into the Beautiful Art!. 🪶❤️

[@oreocookies7831]

Thank you for your tut! It explains where i have been going wrong with the stretchy threads and i like your way of threading back into the piece…hopefully this solves my looming problems! Thanks ✌

[@deirdrem9320]

Just the right amount of detail, not making it complicated with too many words to explain the same process.. Thank You!!!!

[@chrispaddock4809]

Just found your channel. Beautiful work love it xx

[@vanishingpearl7522]

Thanks for sharing this with the world! I was hoping someone would find my old blog posts and make a video.

[@meondarocks]

Thank you so much for the video! This will work great for small loom pictures!

[@FaileasCreations]

LMAO!!! SOOOO, I was really hoping for a easier way. Why be lazy now, right! Thanks so much for the video. You did it beautifully!

[@alexislimter3705]

Thank you for making this video it has been very helpful! I was wondering how do you add a clasp on?

[@olgashevchenko4001]

This is brilliant! Thank you so much for this!

[@jessicavaliente8247]

Thanks so much for this video. Its a lot easier than I thought it would be. Now to buy a loom. 😄

[@judyhoeft4462]

thanks for this tutorial. Perfect timing. Am rewarpping loom, only had 2 rows in. have you ever done 2 needle loom beading, thanks again

[@candyflairsprojects6612]

Your work is beautiful.

[@sondramagnus3795]

Thank you for showing this.

[@marlasmakins2833]

Thank you for sharing your knowledge with everyone! I am curious as to what the difference is between tying off the thread in knots at both ends as compared to weaving the threads back into the bracelet and pulling them out the side. Is it so that the bracelet will be more durable for wear and last longer?

[@ConcettaSpiteri]

Thank you for showing us how to finish. Bigger job, then the actual weave work ah!😮😊

[@debyzimmerman6617]

I couldn't get it to go through the threads like you did ..it caught several but then went through the other side and outside of all threads. You zipped thru like butter. .. I'm still trying to figure out how to get through at any speed. Thanks for showing this tho, at least with time ( HOURS, I'm thinking) I think I may get this licked. I don't want a bracelet but a strip to put on a leather purse strap and this will work whenever I can get it completed by your method. Thanks for sharing.

[@jessicapliego767]

I tried this with a much thinner bracelet and the last column started to get messed up when I began to weave the threads back into the bracelet. Not sure how you ended the bracelet before removing it from the bead loom but it would be great to get some advice to ensure the last column doesn't get messed up. Thank you.

[@lyndagibson9699]

One more question: what loom do you use? Thank you!!

[@lishajohnson7362]

Great video easy to see to follow ty

[@broneciamchuen8195]

Thank-you,, that looks nice and neat,, I always whant to lean how to do that,, Now I know,, my projects are going to look nice,, Thank-you again..

[@gloriathomas9873]

Great video thank you it's always been the worst part for me. Do you have a pattern for these lovely peacock feather bracelets😇 I adore them.💅🏻

[@TarHeelForevah]

Can you list the thread in the description please? 👍 Edit: nevermind! I actually had some in my stash! Thanks so much for the tip! I've been looking for a an alternative since certain beading thread is very expensive!

[@delsieritchie1900]

Can I ask how did you attach a button to this work and have yoy a video on it please. great video

[@lyndagibson9699]

Thank you so much for this!!! Questions: where can I find those patterns? What type of clasp do you recommend for a bracelet of that width (30 beads)?

[@Yocyndie]

I find patterns on Etsy

[@jenny9249]

Have you a video on attaching a clasp

[@gretheingeborgbull6623]

Do you take the needle up and down when you end this Bead loom?

[@kathysunshine699]

If you hate the ends so much,why don't you do a square stitch with just a needle they say it is a loomed pattern without the loom.It is really fun and goes quickly when you put your last bead in sides and ends are finished and you just push thread on needle through the last 3 or 4 rows inside the the actual beads of and the edges are automatically enforced....It is a firmer finished project which is great for bracelets and rings. You can make them as wide as you want, as well.....I am pretty new new to beading,so I am asking only because I would like to know the difference between the 2 and why one is a better application than the other,and what each is best for...Thankyou...If you have a video already on this topic,that would be awesome!

[@madisonrogers9881]

Great video! Now, when you're running that needle up through, am I understanding correctly that you are going through the two weft threads running between those beads? Or over and under?

[@vanishingpearl7522]

Between is very important. They stay snug. :-)

[@nativewind1174]

Great never know about that method. Did u use double thread when u loom ur bracelet? To get those ends in between? Thanks for sharing. 💕

[@SeedBeadBliss]

I use double thread on the outside edges for reinforcement. Singe in the body of the piece.

[@dormordedor]

Hello Leslie! Thanks for this great tutorial. I consider you my teacher. Please, what do you think about the Ko Beading Thread? Where I live I didn't find the Coats Dual Duty Plus thread. Thank you and I admire you a lot!

[@SeedBeadBliss]

Hi and thank you. I like KO for certain uses, but not for loom beading bracelets. You need something a little stiffer to make the bracelet more sturdy. For the warp you need something that doesn't stretch because it will mess up the tension when you are finished. Good luck!

[@jenny9249]

Great video, very helpful. Can you do a video on adding various clasps

[@SeedBeadBliss]

I'm afraid I mainly use buttons and snaps as I like an integrated closure, so I don't buy many clasps. But thanks for your interest.

[@MsCameshaMiller]

How do you make the button holes

[@ann-ri4ch]

I have some large tapestries that I finished using this method. Are there any products or techniques for hanging them on a wall? Would it be safe to just pin them up with a tack?

[@davenevarez4738]

Very nice.

[@debyzimmerman6617]

Where did you get your peacock pattern for that beautiful feather?

[@shannontorres6690]

Have you ever had a bead break or shatter while threading back through, and if so how do you fix it? Also how do you attach button??

[@gracielaferrero9185]

how do you close this bracelet?

[@nilikivko8386]

Hi, what type of beads did you use in the video? It is very helpful, thank you!!

[@javagirl69]

Those are Myuki delica seed beads

[@suzanne8249]

I'm trying to find the specific thread you use for the warps. However, it seems like they may have changed the packaging on the spool? Do you know whether they have?

[@winningnumbers]

How do I add a jump ring and a clasp to this then??? please could you make a video? thank you

[@denameeker6407]

I made a bracelet and Im not sure how to end it and make it look smooth without glue or a knot. I made it with button holes so that the bracelet was all beads. But I took it off the loom to add the buttons to the end and my last row of beads came off. So I took it apart and made it again. Any advice I dont want to cut it off the loom until I am sure of what to do next.

[@SeedBeadBliss]

after the button holes weave at least 5 more full rows. I hope that helps.

[@ConcettaSpiteri]

What is the smallest size bead you large eyed needle can go through?

[@uggie]

Do you have a tutorial on how to make a button hole on the loom?

[@SeedBeadBliss]

I don't.... but you basically just skip a bead and weave back and forth on either side. Hope that helps!

[@leonardohernandez541]

What type of beads do you use? Mine from Michaels make some rows bigger than the other ones

[@LakelandLoom]

It looks like she may be using Miyuki Delica beads - they are lovely and very consistent in size :)

[@christijacobs3199]

Now what. Unless this is a bookmark, we still dont know how to finish it

[@AmKDWIFE]

Question: how do you keep from unraveling? You used zero ties.

[@GuacamoleKun]

It's just held by tension, by the tight weave and the reversing of the threads. Even if one got pulled out (and it wouldn't come out unless it got pulled) the bracelet would be totally fine because of the ones around it.

[@heidipilla2323]

Anyone know where I can get that needle?

[@annglowacki7475]

Any one have sources for clasp ends for loom work. I’m in need of something to do with my approx 2” (51mm) wide bracelet.

[@LadyT0828]

So over under when you are going up?

[@kloworseipiangin]

This Is The conteant good..🤝❤👍

[@mariamahecha9901]

Muy bonito muchas gracias por compartir Jehova te bendiga feliz tarde

[@Pennuo_o]

yea but what do u connect it to after to make it into a bracelet? thats what i was searching for

[@anca-danielabejan5296]

I use special clip for Miyuki sead, it slides the bracelet in the clip

[@anca-danielabejan5296]

I think here is closed with buttons

[@LuciaBijoux]

Please, come fai a fare le asole per le chiusure? Grazie thanks 9:09

[@lucybeebee6018]

Thats a hard way of doing it..Just tie each strand and add a bit of glue .. works a lot better..less time consuming

[@pamelajoy3530]

But if you aren't adding a clasp to cover the knots it looks like crap.
