I enjoy working with pony beads because they are big enough for my hands to work with I have spinal stenosis and nerve damage but I also wanted to learn how to loom thank you for doing one with pony beads and you did an excellent job explaining step by step great job you should do more
I LOOOOOOVE YOU, dear Kristen ! You have just solved a problem I've had for a long time ! I work in an activity centre and I have been trying to find a "safe" way to do bead weaving using the usual bead loom, but... I live in Ireland, and the amount of crazy health and safety regulations is so huge that I simply am not allowed to do it because... "the kids might hurt themselves with... the needle !" When I was a kid in France, we used to do it all the time in activity centres and we never pricked our fingers ! Kids are simply not as stupid as eggheads in offices want them to be. So this video is absolutely fantastic. No "dangerous" prop and a great result. THAAAAANNNK YOU, Kristen !
@@kpolson82 6:20 Neat trick, crossing off row after row! Clever! I meant to ask you : I don't know which country you are from but do you have the same issues with health and safety regulations in your line of work that I have here? Ireland is really going overboard with health and safety. I mean, when I was a kid (7 years old) in class we made pretty cool stuff like string art where you have to hit hundreds of nails on a board with a hammer! Ok, maybe 1 or 2 kids hit their finger once but the results were fantastic. I'm just afraid this obsession for safety at all costs might end up with less and less activity and creativity.
I had a Métis are teacher come into my class to teach me this, and she said calling it a Wompam bracelet or belt is very disrespectful when you aren’t indigenous yourself. She also said that you are never supposed to wear them as jewelry. They use them to teach children history. So yeah, have fun with that knowledge I guess
Lovely ....I was thinking to purchase a beading for my daughter as her bday gift ..But this inexpensive easy technique to begin ...Thanku so much for this lovely tutorial ....
This is so helpful for a beginner loomer! Thankyou so much for this simple walk through so many people do advanced ones as if we all knoe ehat to do since birth🤣❤
Very good video.I have been on youtube for the past few days seeking knowledge on how to weave on a loom.I came across some very good videos and as a beginner I give you three thumbs up.Simple for beginners to understand. I'm just suprise you don't have more views and constructive comments.Keep up the good work. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
Susie R the loom should be about a foot give or take a couple inches. It’s pretty forgiving if it’s too big but you will run out of room if it’s too small. For the grid you can just sketch it out yourself or use graph paper.
Yep! But it should fit tightly in your beads when you have 2 rows of thread. I did yarn and pony beads here. You could do a jewelry thread with seed beads.
Thank you so much this was by far the simplest straight to the point video for beginners that I've seen out of many! 🎉❤😅

Can you tell me where you got the needle? Mine don’t fit through the pony beads
Thanks! Great video. 👍🏽👍🏽
Hello, Great video! I want to try this with my girl scout troop. Where can I find the grid example? And how big are the card board cut? Thank you!

Can you use seed beads and Kemp string?
Hello! Thank you so much for this video. I am doing this for my summer camp and was wondering how big your pieces of cardboard are? Thank you!
Thank you!
Have you tried this with the plastic needle and mini pony beads? I'm wondering if I need larger beads.
What length recommendation would you give for 3mm sized beads?
Can you use stretch cord on this kind of bracelet s ?
❤❤❤❤
Very nice hun
This was great. Can you tell me what beading needle you used? The plastic needles we have are too large for the eye to go through the pony bead.
Beth Levine yes I’ve run into that problem too. I found some really cheap flimsy ones on enasco.com and amazon that we use.
What are the dimensions of the cardboard? to be used by grade 4 and 5 students. Thanks
What are the dimensions of your cardboard ?
same question here
What size pony beads are you using here? Your instructions are simple and clear.
shirley cardoza honestly don’t know. I just get the cheapest bulk assortment I can find on amazon.
shirley cardoza I honestly don’t know! I just get whatever I can find cheapest on amazon usually.
We made these in the seventh grade with a loom made out of a two by four and nails.
How long do you cut your loom?
DaniDee09 about a foot give or take a couple inches. It’s pretty forgiving if it’s too big but you will run out of room if it’s too small.
amazing.
Can I use any kind of thread for this
Yep! But it should fit tightly in your beads when you have 2 rows of thread. I did yarn and pony beads here. You could do a jewelry thread with seed beads.
Kristen thank you
Btw our school is making us do this
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕
