Looming with Different Size Beads

[@Oregonracer2]

I have been hunting for this! Thank you for the wonderful tutorial and I am glad you didn't edit out the mistakes because eventually all of us will make that mistake so we can see how it's fixed.

[@AlluringBeader]

You are so very welcome. I am very happy that you found this lesson useful. I agree that learning to fix mistakes is a very important part of the process.

[@printme2010]

Your "trial and error" was EXACTLY what I needed for bead selection-- thank you for working this all out!!

[@AlluringBeader]

You are very welcome. I have found, over the years, that a lot of designing with beads, involve trial and error. The trick is to understand the thread properties you are working with, to avoid problems with fraying and knots. Have a great day.

[@summer_poems]

Thank you so much for making such a clear and informative video! I'm quite the beginner and this was just what I needed for my upcoming bead projects!

[@AlluringBeader]

You are so welcome! I am glad it was helpful.

[@bintalshamsa]

Finally, a fellow left-handed beader! I've never seen a video explain how to use multiple beads between warp threads. I think this will help me adjust a pattern that I want to alter to include a couple of larger beads or buttons. Thank you!

[@AlluringBeader]

You are so welcome! Good luck with your projects.

[@mikeconrad454]

Thanks for tips! I have the same exact loom. I was having issues with the warp threads coming off the coil thread separator while adding beads no matter how tight I made it. The more threads you have the more likely it is to happen with this loom design. To solve this issue, I took a wooden skewer and placed it between the wooden dowel and the coil on both ends of the loom making sure the skewer goes under the frame, over the warp threads, then back under the metal frame. This keeps pressure on the warp threads making it nearly impossible for the warp threads to come off the coil. I cut the skewers so they extend a quarter inch past the frame and secure the ends to the frame with tape. It was such a headache to loosen everything up to reset the warp threads in the middle of the project.

Hi Mike, Thank you for the cool tip. I appreciate you taking the time to share with us. Dee

[@lauriemontuori2432]

You are gr8. I've never done this before but you make it so easy to understand. Really appreciated.

[@AlluringBeader]

Thank you Laurie. You're very sweet.

[@marjoryayala2470]

I so appreciate that you showed us how you worked through the challenges of your project. The project is beautiful and how you talked it through. I liked how we saw your thought process. Thank you.

[@AlluringBeader]

Thank you so much Marjory. I hope you got inspired to loom a project of your own.

[@jeanettemaxwell1508]

You made stringing the loom so much easier than the other videos I watched ty so much

[@AlluringBeader]

You are most welcome Jeanette. I am glad you found the tutorial useful.

[@kathywaltersshadrix]

Thanks! New to your channel. I got beads from Temu and they seem to be different sizes in one container. Any suggestions? They are small , not sure about what seed beads are exactly. 😢

[@AlluringBeader]

Hi Kathy. Without being able to see them exactly, the best advice I can give is to purchase beads that can be easily sized and have multiples of said sizes. If you are looking for a less expensive option than some full-fledged bead stores, try shopping at Michaels and Hobby lobby when they have sales. The best results in beading, occur with uniformity of beads and sizes. Look around on KZbin for videos that help explain how beads are sized etc. In this video, I do use different size beads but they are knowable. For example, the bead mix has size 11 seed beads, 4 mm crystals and so on. This is very important to looming so that you can space the waft threads accordingly. I hope this helps you. Detrina K.

Thank you so much. I have same loom and was wondering how to do this. Very helpful video!

[@AlluringBeader]

You are very welcome Rosie!

[@phoenix_rising63]

I'm a lefty too! Trying to do it right handed looked almost painful...lol.

[@AlluringBeader]

LOL I would never dream of even trying right handed. I am a total clutz as it is with my left. Haha.

[@hadalamat5039]

I am very pleased to have helped and that you found the tutorial useful. I hope you have fun making beautiful loom projects.

[@tamieh4599]

I love your video !! I'm just starting with my loom. It was so confusing I was getting so frustrated I almost quit. Then I happened upon your video. You made it so easy I actually just completed my first row lol

[@AlluringBeader]

Thank you so much Tamie. I am glad the video helped and I could be of help.❤️

[@sandraceciliamoralescorral9334]

You are welcome Sherry. Have a great holiday.

[@sherrycastro5989]

You too Merry Christmas

[@patriciadollin6421]

Set your loom on the rubberized shelving liner from the dollar store, it won't move around as much.hope that helps.

[@AlluringBeader]

Thank you for the tip Patricia! I hadn't thought of that. Fantastic idea. Thank you

[@gjk540]

Very nice. BTW, it's easier to use the loom on a surface that isn't quite so slick.

[@AlluringBeader]

Thank you for the great advice KC. I am very much a novice to looming so the tips help a lot.

[@behmdaniel]

nice tutorial. thanks!

[@AlluringBeader]

You are most welcome. I am going to try to find more time for looming.

[@curtriceennis2924]

I hope you can help me. When I try to thread the very narrow needles to be able to work with the 11/0 seed beads, I'm unable to get my thread through the eye of the *thin* needle. Is there a certain size thread which can be easily placed through the small, narrow eyes of the small needles? Thank you for any advice.

[@AlluringBeader]

HI Curtrice, The main reason it is difficult to thread the beading needles, is that the eye is oval and the thread is rounded. The easiest way to solve this problem, is to take a pair of flat nose pliers and give a gentle squeeze the the end of the beading thread you are passing through the needle eye. Hope this helps. Dee

[@curtriceennis2924]

@@AlluringBeader I'll try that. Thank you bunches for the suggestion. I do appreciate your advice.

[@tommtommkin]

They need to make a better loom. One that stays still on the table and has numbers on those coils and on the wood so you know exactly where your thread should be. Draw the numbers on the wood use a ruler.

[@AlluringBeader]

I would have to agree with you Bob. This loom is very inexpensive and quite challenging to work with. There are many models to choose from available on the market but the better ones are very pricey. My thoughts on the subject are this... If you plan to loom often or for a living, invest in the best one you can afford at the time. Hope this info is helpful to you. Have a good day.

[@tommtommkin]

@@AlluringBeader Hi :) I'm betting though you can make one like that or fashion one like that. I've seen a few different ones but none that have any kind of ruler or numbers on them. Do you think maybe painting each single coil like different colors might work? Maybe adding some kind of sticky pads to the bottom to keep it still would work? Just trying to make a better mouse trap I guess. It shouldn't have to be so expensive these things but then what's inexpensive anymore right? Keep on doing what your doing I love watching. Thank you. :)

Very nice. Thank you very much

[@AlluringBeader]

You are very welcome. ❤️😊

[@charorodriguez309]

Thank you! It would be easier to pass through the beads with a larger needle.

[@AlluringBeader]

Thank you Charo.

[@caminocutie1]

How did you finish it off at the very end of this bracelet ? Did you use a clasp ?

[@AlluringBeader]

Hi NadineI actually used E600 glue and Ultra Suede to seal the ends and then I added ribbon crimps and a Lobster claw and jump ring to the loops of the crimps. Thanks for asking.. maybe I can get to another looming project and show the ending soon.

Thank you so much Maxine for your lovely compliments. It means so much to me to hear back from you. I am so happy you are finding good use of my tutorials. Love and blessings to you and yours ... Detrina :-)

[@maxxm.5223]

I thought it would be way more complicated. I guess it’s just time consuming to use so many different kinds. 👍🏽

[@AlluringBeader]

It does take a little time but the effect is really beautiful and worth it for me.

[@juliaboster829]

Just a suggestion, if you put your loom on a mat, your loom will not slide around. And if possible turn your work around, since you are left handed. I believe it will work easier and better for you. Otherwise great work.

[@AlluringBeader]

Thank you for the tips Julia. 😉
