I bought my daughter-in-law a loom, beads, thread, etc. because she wanted to learn. After watching your video I’ll be buying myself a loom. The absolute best teaching video I’ve seen in a long time. Your students are lucky to have you!
When seeing this stuff I quickly realized that this is literally just pixel art, which is amazingly useful since I have done that. I'm so excited to design my own animal and nature themed bracelets!
Using the white-board to diagram the process made all the difference to me! I have a brain injury that makes following directions difficult. However, but the combined effect of your well-paced and clear verbal directions, information in text, methodical beading and diagram on video made all the difference for me! Thank you
I've never commented on a TH-cam video before 😂 but I had to say, this was so incredibly helpful and thorough. I dread watching tutorial videos because they usually just frustrate me with how much they assume the audience already knows... as a middle school orchestra teacher, it 100% checks out to me that your bead looming vid was engaging, motivating, and super helpful. Your kids are lucky! Also, "I give my kids mixed colors so they don't fight over them." Yep! 🎉
Fist bump to you, middle school orchestra teacher!!! I hope you are having a restful (and blissfully quiet or filled with perfectly-tuned harmonies) Winter Break right now!
This was the most helpful video I’ve watched on how to use a bead loom and make a pattern! I almost gave up on how to do this until this video. Thank you for explaining it with a diagram! That made me so happy to see. I love to sketch everything out first so your drawings are super helpful. Now I understand this thing!
I just wanted to add a tip for the first line of beads. If you have a second needle you can use it to hold the beads on the wires so they dont get messed up on the threads before you actually sew it on. You slowly drag the non theaded needle as you thread the bead. It makes the first and second rows soooooooo much easier to do. Especially if you have mobility issues.
This tutorial has been up on my computer for 3 days now, and I keep rewinding to make sure I'm doing things, like making warp threads and weaving in ends, correctly and it has been an absolute godsend. First bracelet attempt failed because I made the warp threads too short to weave in, but second attempt (technically third, warp threads got unmanageably tangled on my true second attempt) is going really well!
So clear/simple! You're gifted--and kind to share what you know. I've been loom-beading for a long time and now know a much better way to do it! Thank you!
When you pulled out the white board I was like "wow she's really going to draw all those beads and threads in order" and then as it got more complicated I was like "thank goodness she's willing to draw everything." Thank you so much for such a clear video!
I wish I could post a pic of my finished product! This video helped me through the entire thing, the explanations and guided pictures were so very valuable. Absolutely fantastic tutorial!!!
This is such an excellent video! I teach beading classes and the use of the whiteboard is a game changer so all can see. Brilliant! I've never done loom work, but after this video, I think I can! Thank you!!
Everyone who wants to learn how to bead on a loom should watch this video. I know how but wanted a refresher and yours is excellent. I scrolled through quite a few and none explain as in depth as you do-most usually start in the middle with no explanation about the loom, the warp and weft threads or making a pattern. Great job!
This is an awesome video. Apparently I still learn like a child lol. Perfect and repeated instructions, Thankyou so much for helping me get started. I too was frustrated before I began, I've been sitting on this 5 days now. I'm so excited, Thankyou again!
That was such a clear and easy-to-follow video. Congratulations! One of the best I've seen. I'm still adjusting to trying loom beading after years of off-loom beading and your video has been so helpful. Thank you. 💐
What a superb teacher, she assumes you knoe nothing as a complete beginner, unlike many who don't, yet she is not in th least condesending. She is just informative and thorough. Unusually for a youtube tutorial I feel as though I have learned something today. Thank you.
I thought that Home Ec was not taught anymore in school. I am so very glad it is. Kids today need it very much. Thank you for teaching (both them and us). Good video. I can tell early on in the video that you are good at teaching.
I loved this video! I just got my beading loom today and I can't wait to use it!! Thanks for sharing all the "do's" and "don't's" and I guess I'll just go for it! 😁😁😁
Thanks for a video that's an absolute pleasure to watch, i didn't need to scratch my with " what did she do there" moments. You done everything beautifully and clearly. thank you ❤❤
Your hand-drawn illustrations along with your beading lesson are magic! What a great way to clarify what is going on. This tutorial has given me the most confidence to try beading, thanks to your teaching technique! Are you still crafting? Please post more!
Hi, this is a great video. My daughter is crazy about her loom. She is having a really good time. Thank you! Can you please share the thread brand you use? I can't see it clearly in the video. Best!
I'm a new beader. Was wondering if you can add fringe to a loomed piece. If so do you bead the warp threads or do you weave in threads and then add new fringe threads. I love your teaching. Wish you had more. Thank you. Blessings.
Very helpfull and goog videos. Thank You very much. As I understand, You dont use glue and You don't make any knots starting or before cutting threads? Thank You
I loved this tutorial and your medallion tutorial. Your whiteboard split screen is so helpful. One request, I'm looking to making a necklace lanyard. Do you have or do you know of a good tutorial for this?
You'll use essentially the exact same methods in this video. I'd suggest making a smaller project with this video to be sure you have a grasp of the process, and then, search out some lanyard-specific videos for the particular finish you may want.
I'm struggling with square stitch and saw how much easier loom stitching is from your video a while back. I'm wondering about the durability of loom vs square stitch for smaller rectangle earrings and charms? Would we be able to make keychain or phone chain charms with the durability of square stitch or is it not recommended?
Interesting way of stringing the loom. I usually see one continuous thread instead of multiple threads. Is even tension with all the threads an issue with this method?
The knot-tying portion at the beginning of the video is the important part for getting the tension consistent. I do talk about this specific concern. I find a continuous thread works great for smaller projects, but if I'm making a project that is longer than the length of the loom (like a hat band or lanyard) I need to use the method in the video to allow for the extra length when beading. I hope this makes sense.
Great videos. 1) When would you use this method instead of the medallion method? And why? IOW how do you decide which method for which projects? (I want to decorate store-bought slippers/moccasins.) 2) How do you find design inspirations and choose the design for a project? I am worried I might pick something that is too complicated or one that doesn't work in beads.
Hi! Thanks for the questions. 1) Use this method for items like belts, lanyards, bracelets. This creates geometric beading that doesn't need fabric to support it. Use the other methods for "painting" beads onto existing fabric. 2) Complete the sample pattern to assess your patience. Then Google other people's work and visualize completing it. Measure against your own skill/patience and go from there.
Hello and thank you! Is it alright to place your stringed beads on top and run the thread through from underneath? I find this easier yet seems everyone does the opposite.
I have a question. If I use a stencil to design an object to do seed bead embroidery, how do I know which stitch to use? I have a new book with 6 designs and inside is several pages each of six different stitches? I guess you would call it. I don't know which page to use for a design. Do you know?
Hi! The reason for the different types of stitches is so you have them all available to you, not because any particular stitch is best for any particular situation. Experiment and you'll soon be able to use this new "vocabulary of stitches" easily. I hope that answers your question.
Yes I've seen lots of different kinds of home-made looms. Boxes work well too. Here's an instructable on how to do so: www.artistshelpingchildren.org/kidscraftsactivitiesblog/2011/11/how-to-make-cardboard-beading-looms/
I'm so glad that I stumbled onto ur video!! I have learned more from u in the short time of watching this video than any others! I do have 1 question. If I can ask. Where do u get ur supplies at? A lot of people do etsy which is great, but just for learning I want to use the less expensive till I become a master like u!! Again thank u!! U r a very wonderful artistic , wonderfully voiced teacher!! Cudoes to u!!
What kind words of encouragement! Regarding supplies, it depends where you live. Most of the supplies will be at any craft store. If you have an Indigenous/Native American craft store then go there first!
Thank you for this video! I'm an art therapist and want to do this with clients. Do you recommend a certain size/ type of bead? What are best places to purchase them?
Hi! I use size 10 glass beads. You can likely get these at any local bead/hobby shop. I purchase from the Winnipeg Trading Post and/or Worb Furs here in Winnipeg. Both ship internationally if needed.
Oh yes! Once you've done one end, BEFORE you take it off the loom, spin the loom 180 and do the other side. You can roll the beading a little on the dowels to give yourself more space. Let me know if that makes sense?
This is the way I teach it, there are other ways such as gluing the threads or lapping a piece of leather over the ends and gluing. I think this gives the nicest finish though.
It' a nylon thread. Strong, lint-free and won't stretch. Commonly called "beading thread" but you may get away with finding other thread that matches those attributes.
Plan ahead. When you first set up the loom, make sure your warp threads are long enough for your finished project. When you load them onto the loom, spin the dowel to store the extra length as you need it. As you fill the loom with beadwork, roll the dowels so the finished work spools around the opposite dowel and releases more length to keep working. Let me know if this doesn’t make sense.
Yes. It's 100% nylon beading thread. It won't stretch, won't fray, and is fine enough to fit through the beads. Here's a link to similar thread. www.amazon.ca/PandaHall-Bracelet-Beading-Jewellery-Bracelets/dp/B095WY58F4/ref=sr_1_9?crid=1G0WS2EO3AXQG&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.4sVx_NUUR1sYSDJ22YPRwoLxPc3U27p9ZbRyFgZPbQREJuUYgH2dmo1tC2Ci7HrMxF9TVE3Xbf32fjIVSyA6M_rYFvJTyr2J7yTJEnrEbnglJxEufUnUBzOLm5lvM_UudPh2W607VY39d7b0X20GmUszo-6aCAOFYqWPqORVglGkLB1PB5qTSS0VcJQ69dchh9bejtOAmWJX-fR0Vu07fYYpfz2GTBWpyV9DEab71oBmqT9GxcwerWqlni5NkKeASmFcFNpJOghI6H0LFPKOjgyqzU6-RsFwZQhKvEh0zi8.T__UAdNhIWqyQ-Hg3yNb03Gg-oqN--c7wW7VQInL0J4&dib_tag=se&keywords=beading+thread&qid=1717265371&sprefix=beading+threa%2Caps%2C156&sr=8-9
The easiest way to do it is just start with the blunt end and then once you've got a few rows established, weave your way back and make the tapered part following the same method as shown in the video for the other end.
Hi! I’m new to bead looming and I was wondering, does this same technique also apply to bead looming a peyote stitch bracelet? Or does that work differently than the example you showed us? Also great video thank you so much!❤
Ohhh peyote is a different method altogether. Search for “brickwork” or “brick stitch” beading techniques. I don’t have a video on that particular technique (yet).
Make your warp threads as long as the finished project + 8”. Attach one end of the warp threads as normal to the loom (wound around the dowel maybe once). On the other end you’ll wrap the long threads around and around. When you start beading, start at the less-wound side. As you fill up the beadable space, scroll the dowels to continue beading. Your finished work will end up wrapped around the dowel as you keep scrolling to make it longer. I hope this makes sense!
If you only use two strands you’ll have a single line of beads to work with. If that’s what you want, then yes. The number of strands always equals the width of beads + 1.
Learning as well. Struggling with thread options? I bought fireline, but this looks different. I’m also confused if you need one thread for loom and one for beading?? I’ve designed my project, just need to figure this out to begin.
Hi! I don't know what fireline is, but I use nylon sewing thread/beading thread for both the loom and the beading. Some folks do use different threads for each, but if you're just learning, then keep it simple and experiment later would be my suggestion. Let me know if this does/doesn't help. I'll do my best to clarify.
Why didn't you taper the other side? It would've looked more unison. I thought because of the straight end, you were going to use a clasp that slides on the the straight end. I never see videos of starting a loomed project that is tapered. Otherwise very informational video.
I just did it this way to demonstrate two different finishes. I understand what you mean about starting the tapered end. In that case i would do a few lines of full width, and then weave back to the first row and taper "backward" from there. Let me know if this doesn't make sense!
The easiest way to do it is just start with the blunt end and then once you've got a few rows established, weave your way back and make the tapered part following the same method as shown in the video for the other end.
This is the best bead loom tutorial on TH-cam. No excuse fluff talk. Thanks for putting this out!

Wonderful! Happy beading!
When seeing this stuff I quickly realized that this is literally just pixel art, which is amazingly useful since I have done that. I'm so excited to design my own animal and nature themed bracelets!
I used to do counted cross stitch and found that many of those patterns serve as excellent patterns for loom beading as well.
Correct! I have seen some super cute minecraft designs made by my students. Also little funkopop type stuff.
Using the white-board to diagram the process made all the difference to me! I have a brain injury that makes following directions difficult. However, but the combined effect of your well-paced and clear verbal directions, information in text, methodical beading and diagram on video made all the difference for me!

With so few knots, how strong are such things when all is said and done? Have you ever performed pull tests?

I'm a new beader. Was wondering if you can add fringe to a loomed piece. If so do you bead the warp threads or do you weave in threads and then add new fringe threads.

@@chamberscourses7638 it turned out fine. Thank you.
Very helpfull and goog videos. Thank You very much. As I understand, You dont use glue and You don't make any knots starting or before cutting threads? Thank You
That's right. No glue, no knots, just lots of friction.
cool. thank you.
I loved this tutorial and your medallion tutorial. Your whiteboard split screen is so helpful. One request, I'm looking to making a necklace lanyard. Do you have or do you know of a good tutorial for this?
You'll use essentially the exact same methods in this video. I'd suggest making a smaller project with this video to be sure you have a grasp of the process, and then, search out some lanyard-specific videos for the particular finish you may want.

where did you get the white board? thanks.
I think I got it at Walmart! Any office supply store will have these little boards.
How do you taper the beginning of the bracelet
The easiest way to do it is just start with the blunt end and then once you've got a few rows established, weave your way back and make the tapered part following the same method as shown in the video for the other end.
Very helpful, the drawings helped so much!! What size of beads do you use??
Glad to hear it’s helpful. I use size 10 beads.
Hi! I’m new to bead looming and I was wondering, does this same technique also apply to bead looming a peyote stitch bracelet? Or does that work differently than the example you showed us? Also great video thank you so much!❤
Ohhh peyote is a different method altogether. Search for “brickwork” or “brick stitch” beading techniques. I don’t have a video on that particular technique (yet).
What would I do if I want a long finished piece? Like a hat band of say, 27” or longer?
Make your warp threads as long as the finished project + 8”. Attach one end of the warp threads as normal to the loom (wound around the dowel maybe once). On the other end you’ll wrap the long threads around and around. When you start beading, start at the less-wound side. As you fill up the beadable space, scroll the dowels to continue beading. Your finished work will end up wrapped around the dowel as you keep scrolling to make it longer. I hope this makes sense!
Can I use only 2 strands or does it need to be 10?
If you only use two strands you’ll have a single line of beads to work with. If that’s what you want, then yes. The number of strands always equals the width of beads + 1.
Thank you!!,
My pleasure!
May i know the size of your beads ? Bcuz mine is about 0.3mm.. and i'll consider to change the beads size according yours..
She said it at the beginning, size 10 beads. I’m not sure if that’s 10/0 or something else but that is in fact a size
Mine are size 10. They are approx 2-3mm also.
Learning as well. Struggling with thread options? I bought fireline, but this looks different. I’m also confused if you need one thread for loom and one for beading?? I’ve designed my project, just need to figure this out to begin.
Hi! I don't know what fireline is, but I use nylon sewing thread/beading thread for both the loom and the beading. Some folks do use different threads for each, but if you're just learning, then keep it simple and experiment later would be my suggestion. Let me know if this does/doesn't help. I'll do my best to clarify.
What kind of graph paper is that? Anyone know where to get paper like that?
Google “printable beading paper” and lots will come up. You can pick the one that’s most suitable and print at home.
Why didn't you taper the other side? It would've looked more unison. I thought because of the straight end, you were going to use a clasp that slides on the the straight end. I never see videos of starting a loomed project that is tapered. Otherwise very informational video.
I just did it this way to demonstrate two different finishes. I understand what you mean about starting the tapered end. In that case i would do a few lines of full width, and then weave back to the first row and taper "backward" from there. Let me know if this doesn't make sense!
