The Basics of Bead Weaving On A Beading Loom

[@reginewelch8052]

Best video I have come across! Thank you for using different colors of string for the warp and the weft. Thank you for excellent zooming on the warp and then how it looks once the first row of beads is on (you tilted the loom vertically). Excellent!

I’m so glad to know you found the video helpful. Thank you for your kind comments. 😊 Yes, I do try to add those details that *I* would want to see in a video. Thanks for noticing!

Thank you for this tutorial, Sandy! As a kid, I used my beading loom a lot but haven't thought about it in years. This really got my creative juices flowing again!

[@SandyHuntress]

Hooray for flowing creative juices! :-D

Wonderful video. Like you, I have avoided looming for various reasons, but I’m pretty sure you have changed my mind! Thanks to your friend for the great Christmas gift 🎁

It was my son who got it for me! He went in to a bead store and asked, “What do you get the beader who has everything?” Smart guy, that one. 👍😆😀 Happy beading, Linda!

Thank you Sandy, makes me want to get back into weaving. I really like the loom too.

[@SandyHuntress]

Happy creating, Leona!

I just got into this recently, started with the jewel loom and then got a Clover too. Just to let you know the Wrap It loom is for doing wrap bracelets like the 1 you show near the end, the only downside I see with it is that you finish the knotting before you even start beading, personally I'm getting a tying station to do that type of bracelet.

The Jewel Loom is so much better. It’s just one piece when you start the beading, much more taut and a better finished piece. plus it’s only $15. Thanks for demonstrating this !

[@SandyHuntress]

Thanks for the tips!

I have never done this before. My she shed is finished today, so I can move into it. I may have to go shopping for a bead loom...

[@SandyHuntress]

I'm so glad to hear your she-shed is finally finished! Maybe try the looming on a board first, to see if you like it. Honestly, in some ways, I think I prefer doing it on the board. Happy creating, Lila!

[@SandyHuntress]

Then my work here is done. 😀 ✅ Happy creating!

I have the plastic wrap it loom that you showed - I have it because it came as part of a kit to make a wrap bracelet. You use it to hold your leather taught as you bead around the leather with thread! I don’t think it can be used as a proper loom.

[@SandyHuntress]

If it’s the same one I showed, then you can use it to loom. Actually, the bracelet wrapping with the leather and looming are very closely related. I can’t do it right now, but I’ll try to remember to send you a video showing how to set up the Wrap It loom.
