This is, by far, the BEST tutorial for bead weaving I’ve found. Sam’s instructions are clear and easy to follow. The person who was behind the camera also did a great job with closeups at just the right time. I’ve never made a bracelet like this, but after watching Sam’s tutorial, I feel confident that I can do it. The only suggestion I have is that it would be helpful to list the types of supplies used in the description box below the tutorial. Thank you for sharing your knowledge, Sam. 👏🏻♥️
thank you for your kind words. This is an older broadcast and has not been time stamped. But, if you look at our more recent broadcasts, they are all time stamped and have a project page linked it, As well as links with in the description. Happy Beading!!!
I'm a beginner and I've watched a dozen videos but have felt too unsure to try making a bracelet until I watched your video. Now, I feel fully confident to giving this a try. You didn't assume that the viewer had any previous knowledge. You were clear and concise. And you finished what you had started. You zoomed in at the appropriate times. In my opinion, you deserve the video tutorial award of the year!
Wow this tutorial is crystal clear!!! I love craft, all kinds of craft and I am always looking to learn new things. You have just awakened a hunger for bead looming in me. Thank you.😊
Thank you so much for showing how to make an adjustable clasp. I just started with bead looms and I love weaving the beads but hate finishing them and adding the clasps. This looks like such a nice way to do it.
I just want to thank you so much for this video. My son bought me a loom large enough for purses TWO Christmases ago (have a feeling he doesn't think I'll ever "play" with it) and I've been petrified to even try to work with it. This is the first video that shows very clearly and completely every step needed along the way. And also you positioned the camera so closely that I didn't have any trouble seeing what you were talking about. You have made me feel like I night actually be able to do it. I can see that I'll need to pick up a few things before I get started (FINALLY). I hope to make my son proud! Thanks again.
Thanks so much for this tutorial!! I'm always looking for new and easy ideas to finish loomwork. This idea is fantastic. It's super easy and looks great when you match the compassion and ultra suedes to the color of one of the beads as you did. Love the idea of using the tray as a loom!! Super use of available resource!! Love the clear, concise and detailed instruction. You left no guesswork!! Great JOB!!!
I just found them myself and think they are great as well. I wanted to say you sound like a sweetheart too. I love to hear positive appreciation instead of dumb comments that are not needed. Have fun beading Ruby ( you're a jewel) lol. Deborah
thank you very very very much for this tutorial! I'm making bracelet since 2 months now but I couldn't find out how to end it. And with that video you stopped my nightmare and gave me tricks for it. It's a very good tuto, well made and clear. Thank you
I have the same feelings about this video as the person below my comment. I am also a beginner and I too have watched many beading videos. Most have left me confused and frustrated but your video is really easy to understand and follow. I was confused at how to create or follow a pattern and how to use the pattern on any type of loom. Not many channels mention this and I feel it's critical. Thank you for making such a great tutorial!
After watching dozens of videos, I'm going to give you the best note there is to give. You have inspired and motivated me. A big THANK YOU for the good work!
Hi Sam, I got all of my materials in the mail this week, and this weekend I have been bracelets like crazy!! No time for housework , too busy beading!! :) Thanks for a wonderful project.
Brilliant help even all these years later :) thank you, you helped me so much with so many 'little pointers' I really appreciate this. I have some traditional bead patterns that I have carried around for about 30 years, now maybe the time to actually make them up and wear them.
You ladies rock with your tutorials...I absolutely am so happy I came across your videos and your beadshop is really reasonable prices and the FREE shipping is amazing...Ty for the Videos and for my order that is shipped and on its way...have a super sweet day...
Hi MetalGrannie, Thank you for watching our video. We are so sorry that it was a bit of a hassle for you to find what you were looking for. The Zap Jewelry Gel is more like crazy glue and has a pretty fast drying time. The Hypo-tube Cement is a more slow drying epoxy.
Thank you for this tutorial! You speak clearly, and only give the information needed to understand and attempt the project. I follow lots of channels for anecdotes and humor - so I don't mean to poopoo the rambling tangents, but imho, a tutorial isn't the place :) oh wow... I just did the thing I referred to! Oh well that's ok, it's not my tutorial ;) Bottom line is, thanks for the clear, concise, and very useful tutorial. For the first time, after watching numerous explanations, I finally think I get it enough to give this a try!
Thank you for a wonderfully clear instructional video. I really look forward to giving this technique a try using the tray method, which looks more stable than some of the looms. :)
Well I am sure glad I found your video! I have been bead looming and gave up due to the fact I didn't really know what to do at the ends (tried using beads to make the loop and ball, which were not very sturdy). Now I can make bracelets for my friends and they can actually wear them long term! They end up usually just being put on display after coming loose. :) THANKS FOR SHARING THIS EASY TECHNIQUE, YOUR AWESOME!
Wonderful tutorial! You are a great teacher! I have tons of 6/0 beads I'd like to use up in some projects. Would they work for looming? Thanks so much! I've learned so much over the years from following the tutorial videos from Bead Shop.
you can make your own heading board with heavy card board or any piece of wood home Depot cut mine perfectly then I glued felt fabric it works perfectly
I'm loving this design Sam, also perfect timing as the deep dish design tray I ordered from The Beadshop arrived in today's mail. Guess what I'll be doing this weekend :))
You can do it, my granddaughters bead with me all the time. Kaylee is 10, Hannah is 7 and they both love to create. I'm sad because they are moving and I won't see them as much. :( There Mom's name is Kasi.
Hello, If it says good on leather or quick drying you should be fine. Make sure to test it out on scrap material first. You don't want to mess up your finished product if the glue doesn't work. :) Thank you
I want to make a beaded hat band. The length of the band needs to be 24 inches. Since I don't have a box or loom large enough, is there a method for making smaller bands and then connecting them together? Would I be better off getting a loom and when I reach near the bottom of my working space, moving the work off of the top of the loom and continuing until I reach the 24 inches? Also, thank you for your suede and cord instruction. I will likely use something similar to that to attach the band at the back of the hat.
I'm making a hatband at the moment using a non-loom beadweaving technique. That way it can be any length you want. I tried joining loom beading pieces and it was truly a mess
Marilyn Burton When stringing your loom, you can allow for any length of piece regardless of your loom length. just cut individual lengths of warp to your desired size, knot together at each end, string each wrung and wrap the excess tail of warp around your diwel, securing with tape. it will unroll as you work and the beadwork will roll onto the other dowel as you move down.
Thank you. Will it fall apart w yarn or ko thread though because I've already started and glued a few bracelets with it. Or is the bigger diameter just helpful because you don't have to do as much weaving until you've reached desired length? Thanks so much for helping me
Thanks Sam. I noticed you have doubled up on your thread you pass through the beads. What if I wanted to make my design using size 11 beads - would you still need to double up the thread? I'm concerned it will be too crowded for that much thread, especially when you have to end off/add on more thread as you add beads.
Never mind - I was able to find everything by going to the project page itself. The search feature doesn't work well ---- too many results. But I still need to know the diff between the glues . . . . thanks
Great video! My problem always comes when I have to weave thread back through beads that are already secured on the waft or loom. The holes seem to be to small for the needle to pass through so I have a hard time securing ends. What would you suggest?
Hi Julie! Thank you for watching our video. We really recommend using C-Lon, as it has a significantly larger diameter than either KO or sewing thread. I hope this is helpful. Happy beading!

I agree!

You're welcome! Adjustable clasps are great!
That is beautiful. I love your closure technique. Thank you for sharing it.

Speedy Howard I'm curious... how'd they turn out?

Your video is very easy for a beginner beader to understand. Thanks for sharing.
Glad it was helpful!
Best idea for finishing with leather I’ve seen yet. Thx
After watching dozens of videos, I'm going to give you the best note there is to give. You have inspired and motivated me. A big THANK YOU for the good work!
Very helpful... I Iove how much more natural these end ties look in comparison to the toggle clasps or other metal ends. Thank you for this tutorial

You have come across as very professional and helped me tremendously
Brilliant use of a tray! Looms can be very expensive, so this is a wonderful alternative. Thanks for sharing.
TFS your talent with us. I love that Ultasuede finishing touch for the ends of the bracelet, it really gives it a very professional and smooth finish.
Very, very pretty and extremely helpful, thank you very much, your explanation is very clear and concise. And the bracelet looks gorgeous!
One of the best tutorials on bead weaving. Thank you
Best tutorial ever. Thank you so much.
Good to learn with you as the teacher.
Best tutorial I've seen yet.
Thanks
Superb explanation you have undoubtedly cleared all my doubts you are such a good teacher God bless.
Thank you for a wonderfully clear instructional video. I really look forward to giving this technique a try using the tray method, which looks more stable than some of the looms.
:)
Thank you so much for the info. I just got a hold of my fathers bead set from 20 years or more ago and am anxious to get going. This was so helpful.
thanks so much for that video! The bracelet is beautiful and your instructions were easy to follow! Can't wait to order the materials and make some!!!
Love these types of designs.
All the waste of so many other videos! I would have loved to see you make the four in this video! Thank you for being wise enough to waste less!
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍Fantastic demo. Clear, concise, beautifully executed.
what an excellent idea for a loom. I am going to try this.
Best tutorial on youtube, thank you!
I really enjoyed watching your video very helpful
Myf first time watching looming , I liked a lot . thank you .
Your tutorial video was so interesting and helpful in making not only a bracelet, but other projects, too. Thank you.

I'm loving this design Sam, also perfect timing as the deep dish design tray I ordered from The Beadshop arrived in today's mail. Guess what I'll be doing this weekend :))
A very well made beading tutorial. 😊
It's fantastic and I encourage you.You're the best💐

You can do it, my granddaughters bead with me all the time. Kaylee is 10, Hannah is 7 and they both love to create. I'm sad because they are moving and I won't see them as much. :( There Mom's name is Kasi.
Could you also use locktite glue instead of the zap?
Nice choice of colors. Also great tutorial.
Best tutorial I have seen!

Such great info, thank you!

Translation: Perfect, and very beautiful....and easy to make!!! I learned quickly with you, congratulation teacher, kisses.
Bonjour très beau tuto es-ce que le fermoir finition bracelet est en cuir ?
Hi, thank you guys for such a great video. Is was so clear and well explained. You have inspired me to have a go.
I like the way you say suede
So whenever you want to change a color you have to get rid of the other string?
Thank you this video was very helpful! 😁
I LOVE the tutorial but I can't find any place for Transition beads. I can't even find it on your site. Did they stop making those?
Great Video clear & concise. Thank you so much
Hello,
If it says good on leather or quick drying you should be fine. Make sure to test it out on scrap material first. You don't want to mess up your finished product if the glue doesn't work. :)
Thank you
What kind of glue did you use?
What is the difference between the Beadsmith Zap Gel Glue and GS Hypo Cement? I have the latter. Will that do? Thanks.
Tremendous . Great tutorial.
Lovely project, and brilliantly taught. Thank you!
can you tell me what size crimp beads you used, and where you got them. Thenk you very much
For all the ingredients and further learning: www.beadshop.com/collections/chevron
Thank you for sharing this . Awesome video
Can you use 12/0 size beads on this?
One of the best videos

Have fun!
Great video...I learn quite a few pointers.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR LESSON. I LOVED! VERY PRETTY!
love this video thank you very much and my god bless you

very well done and I found this video informative and helpful.

I'm concerned it will be too crowded for that much thread, especially when you have to end off/add on more thread as you add beads.
hi, thank you so much for this video which is really well done with all necessary information
question, should you use a sheathing before adding say a clamp clasp and attach to the sheathing instead of the attaching to the beads directly.
Hi Patricia! Thank you for your question. You can absolutely use a sheathing - something as simple as a folded paper towel should do the trick.
Thank you this video was a great help awesome instructions!!!
hi! your crimp sliding beads - what’s the size of the hole? i don’t know which to buy. same for the pony beads - whats the diameter of the hole?
If you email your question to info@beadshop.com, Drea will get back to you in a flash.
Never mind - I was able to find everything by going to the project page itself. The search feature doesn't work well ---- too many results.
But I still need to know the diff between the glues . . . . thanks
I tried to make a fancy loom at home didn't go well but this is way simpler
I would like to buy a deep design tray with a velvet tray insert but I was not able to find them
+Teresa Limeburner go to their website . I'm going to order one next week. :)
Hohow many inches do you start from the board side .at the top
Great video! My problem always comes when I have to weave thread back through beads that are already secured on the waft or loom. The holes seem to be to small for the needle to pass through so I have a hard time securing ends. What would you suggest?
Can I use regular sewing thread or the ko thread to weave and glue over at the ends of the bracelet in place of the c-Lon ?
Hi Julie! Thank you for watching our video. We really recommend using C-Lon, as it has a significantly larger diameter than either KO or sewing thread. I hope this is helpful. Happy beading!

excellent explanation! thanks 🙏😉🙌
