Tutorial 1:

hello everyone we are live juwel Loom School live is

live oh it's so great to see everybody um I believe a few people were in the waiting room uh quite early and so I

always get a kick out of that because um I'm just so grateful that you take the time to come on in and hang out with us

and so for those of you who don't know I am Juliana Jules um Avalar the inventor

of the original jewel loom right there the blue jewel loom and uh I've been in

the Arts and Crafts world for pretty much ever I started in the

199s let's see Joshua was born in 91 and I believe it was like 90 four or so when

I ended up in a small little town called Loke California and um I went on a job

interview with an agency when with an employment agency and they said look for the paintbrushes on the wall and I

thought okay whatever that sounds cool and uh and the company was artist

Incorporated and so little did I know that was alen's creative living yeah so

Alene Jackson the inventor of tacky glue in the gold bottle I had no clue and so

it was super fun um I actually got the job and it was to work in

production and so I would take the big huge Drums of glue and break them down

into 2 O Bottles 4 o bottles 6 oz bottles all with a paper and a pen no

computers yeah so quite an interesting time and so I did that for a hot minute

and then uh ended up on the television show and uh and so the rest is history

from that but yeah I've been in this world for a really long time elene had a

beadloom Tiffany her daughter who is still my

bestie uh taught me how to bead and so when we weren't taping we would all go

to the kitchen and there would just be beads everywhere and um that's where I got my passion for beading and I said

you know what one day I'm gonna have my own beadloom and I just put it out there I

just put it out there and I just thought why not you know why can't I and so it took

I'm GNA say what was it 2012 or 2013 I believe uh when the jewel loom birthed

and so yeah so probably like I don't know 14 years later or something I ended up having my own Loom known as the jewel

loom the blue bead Loom that's pretty much everywhere all over the world and

so um super stoked super happy and uh so incredibly grateful from there obviously

we have birthed many many uh wood looms and they're just so fond to work on and

love sharing my passion for weaving with you and so today is no different uh I've

got a project I um yes manifest your dreams yes they they definitely were

manifested and continue to do so but when I was on alen's Creative

living I um my business name or how I went by was

Inspirations by Juliana and I used to put together these

kits called beads in a bag and I mean it was hysterical like I

would put these together and I was selling them on alen's Creative living which is like no joke right like you

think QVC and all the like when you had an item on alen's Creative living back

in the day yeah so what a blessing and and so I would curate all the beads from all over

the country I was working with bead venders from New York and you know it was just so much fun and shipwreck back

in the day and um and so yeah so I had these these kits called beads in a bag and and uh and they were you know a

concept based on a bracelet um much like what we have done with uh the willowy

kit that we did with Serenity um the Earth kit the um bright bright lights

vegan nightes still in love with that that place in Texas I really do need to go back and then oh Shu we were just

talking about the one oh c cab Cabana nights so now I have I just counted I

believe there's going to be like seven new beads in a bag kits I'm super stoked

about them they're absolutely gorgeous um you're going to get your your 11

O's and your decorative beads and a a vintage check glass gorgeous buttons

they're all different so one button per kit the retail is $25 there's no further

discounting on these because they are jam-packed with value and I am keeping

them at a price that um I believe is

right so um I did I asked aana or I didn't ask her specifically but I I

threw it out there like hey what what Loom do you want me to work with and she came back with um the large wisdom

Warrior which I almost went ahead and did that but with this kit I wasn't 100%

sure with the length of the large wisdom Warrior uh how far I would get and so I

really I really wanted to do something a little bit more um doable

which the small wisdom Warrior and we haven't played with her for a while and

she's such a Powerhouse she has the beating grid okay so it's about

2.75 in across and then this is where we tie off we've got a knob and then you have the exact

same footprint down here so another beading grid so when they're really tiny like this and they're really close

together and we say beading grid this is what you should expect to see okay um

the sun Weavers have a little bit different grid and but but these on the

sun weav uh sun on the weaving War oh my gosh on the wisdom Warriors I got so

many looms I can't keep them straight it's like having a bunch of kids you're like hey that's you just get to the point where you have like a lot of kids

and you're like hey Jimmy and he's like no I'm John and you're like whatever go clean

go clean the bathroom so you also have a really nice um length it's um just about I believe

what do we got like 12 inches or so so you can make a really nice substantially sized bracelet if you need to um or many

different you know little projects so we are going to be working on the um the

small wisdom Warrior let me just find my words I do want to show you something

really quick though before we get started um I was playing around Joan and I before we came on here and let me just

tilt down really quick so I brought the stand in for the large wisdom Warrior

and I just wanted to show you that the small

also works okay so I'm going to turn this to the side and we're just going to take the

pen here and slide that in okay and if you wanted you could use

your small wisdom warrior with your large wisdom Warrior stand it's got a

little wiggle giggle okay so when you put the large wisdom Warrior into the

stand it's really nice and secure and it doesn't move but if you wanted to you

could um you could use this I'm sure Robert's working on

something I don't know it's possible but for now if you wanted to which I do

believe a lot of people have both because they're collectors why not um you could do that okay so just a FYI

I thought I would bring that in there just so that you know um listen some people were talking about the

um original new jewel loom stand also working with the baby I don't think so I

just tried to do it and it it's not it's not made for that you can lay it

down you can lay it down okay uh on this stand but but I I don't

think propping propping it up it just wants to like come forward so you know if becomes a need

got no problem with making a stand for the baby I mean why not so we'll

see always something going on we have like a whole year full of like amazingness all right I'm just going to

move this over let me just put it right here for right now okay and I am working with the blue

Wildfire I did get Wildfire back in the shop so there's Oodles of wildfire and like I said the small

wisdom Warrior and of course juw Loom needles and I am going to be warping

with f uh 0. five hemp cord now

listen I'm going to see hemptique in March at the

national Arts material trade Association trade show in no orans which guess what

I've never been I'm so stoked so if anybody knows about Louisiana and New

Orleans let me know let me know like what we need to know CU we're really

excited about it um gonna talk to them about how I can carry it I can't keep

cutting it it's just like I just you know it's too much so in the meantime

show HTI all the love in the world they're such a great great company

sustainable products the way that they manufacture and everything and they're just a delightful familyowned

company so if you want himti please just go to the um their website and buy it

and like I said I'm working with the 05 millimeter right now and we'll see if I

can get it back into the shop in a way where I'm not like cutting him te cord

until it's like three o'clock in the morning um I am going to so this is the

rainbow sugar plum kit Okay and like I said

there's more I only had time to get

potero Blossom up and that is based on a

road my mountain that goes from the farmlands in Oxnard California okay so

like if you're hitting wiimi Road and you're going and you're going through

the fields where I was raised out in the fields not in the fields kind

of on a ranch out on Wood Road and lagona when I was a little boo okay so

you're shooting up wiimi road and you cross over Wood Road and you're going through this just amazingly beautiful

beautiful landscape um all all the fields and over over to this side over

to the right you have um point meu you have the Air Force Base and if you were to go to the right you'd be like hitting

up towards Malibu okay and then if you go to the left you'd be going towards uh

what we refer to as this town called Camaro which cam is really cool um and

then as you're going up the hill right and and what I would do is I would stay on Wii road to go up the hill and I'd

go and it's like this and I am not kidding you I am not kidding you this road challenged me and it goes up and

it's tight it is tight and black sexy loves that road man she would just like

you know hug hug the road and oh my gosh anyway so it's so beautiful it's so

incred incredibly beautiful there would be these beautiful yellow

flowers like during a certain time of year like in spring right and and they

would just be blossoming everywhere um I need to find out what the name of them is but anyway just absolutely gorgeous

and it just made my heart so happy it just made my heart so so happy and if we

have time I'll show you that one it's the only one I was able to get up on the site in addition to what we're going to

work with tonight so um but I'm still gonna be doing all of that I gotta go

grocery shopping then I'll finish working Marlon Brando needs food okay let's go to the table Joan I'm going to

show everybody what we got here okay so first of all your kit is going

to come in you know one of the jewel blue I just I love putting our products um in this little baggie for you I just

feel like um I just want you to know it's important right like I really appreciate you and I love just putting

all of your yum Noms into one of these little blue bags so I'm going to put that to the side for a hot minute um you

do have your eight O's which I'm going to be working with you've got 11 O's in this kit you oh

so the creative soul group got this vintage button in the month of December

I mean look at this so these are antique glass check buttons it's so beautiful

I I'm just thinking it could be a part of my bracelet versus the button closure

because I want people to see this I want to show it off it's like a table what's it called when

you put a a you know like a nice centerpiece you know something to show

off okay so you've got that in the kit and then these are

all and you know it's it's a variety of beads so if you go well Jules I saw that

one um you know they're all different but they're mostly the same you know what I'm saying so don't don't get we we

paid a lot of attention to make sure that uh for instance like you know you got a lot of these Beauties you know I

don't know that every kid has one of those but it's all very similar okay so this is the pile of the

rainbow sugar plum bead kit if you use

these beads based on the willowy bracelet that we made a couple months ago I mean seriously it's like a ton you

get a lot you and and if You' bought my kits before you know that I don't mama don't

play like I really make sure that you have a lot of lot of beads

in there so again these are at $25 plus shipping I just I can't take any coupons

I can't take any discounts they're really I feel like this is a great price

and um you know we got to buy dog food oh my gosh we went to the vet

yesterday series L is that not listen utmost respect but my

gosh expensive anyway um worth it though Marlon Brando needs some relief no

Stephanie this is not the December box December box um was more of the Blue

Aqua turquoises this is called rainbow sugar plum and it's a beads in a bag kit

it's brand new so let's go ahead and scooch everything over for right now and did

I'm sorry if I'm repeating myself I'm using the blue wildfire and I do have that in the shop so it's back in the

shop okay um let's bring in the small wisdom

Warrior and I'm just going to turn her this way for a hot minute and I have

this multicolored variegated um hemp I love their variegated

pieces so this is like a blue purple anyway what I like to do is I'll make my

Loop okay and then I'm just going to put that on the back well this is like the

top button if you're looking at it from a design standpoint okay so we're going to pull that nice

and tight and then we're going to um do another

[Music] knot okay that feels really good and

then what I'm going to do is I'm going to turn this around again so that it's now facing me I think

I need to scooch over hair here um and I'm going to be doing four warps and so

I could just lay this down right smack in the middle I don't need to work all

the way to the left or work all the way to the right I could just um really just

like let this fall and I just want to make

sure okay there we go okay so we're just

going to have that in the groove and I really want you to pay attention to how I I fuss with my finger so to speak you

know like I'm really guiding my material I'm helping it to lay down into the

grooves I'm taking my time I'm not rushing all right so I've got my right

hand this is my right hand and this is my um left and I'm just going to pull

the hemp all the way down here to the bottom and I'm just going to do my best

in lining it up I'm not really going to like be too worried about it one of the things that I like to do on warp one

this is a warp okay this is warp one especially with the wood Looms okay is I

like to go around the button once and then twice okay and then I'm going to

come right back over here and I'm working with so we're just going to skip a

Groove and then I'm going to bring that all the way back up to the top and again I'm going to wrap it

around that back button skip a

Groove come all the way back down to the bottom

here okay

and skipping another Groove and coming all the way back up and

skipping okay so let me just wrap that around the back button and then I'm going to come back into camera here and

I'm just going to wrap it around again and again and what I'd like to do hold on oh I'm

gonna have to crisscross everything here that was a little bit of a stretch

let me just get that out because I want to like use this to um tie off

with and so I'm just going to take the original tell and then the new tell

and get that nice and tight and we're going to do that again

whoops and for Giggles we'll do a third

one okay all right and then what I'm going to do is I just I don't want this

to be in the way what do I got one two three yep that's what I want

okay so we're going to turn around and let's just kind of get

into um I feel like I'm falling off my table so bear with me as I

scooch everything up a little bit there we go okay cool beans so I'm going to

bring in my um these are my

right yeah okay these are gorgeous transparent rainbow sugar

plum who doesn't like a little sugar plum okay and then we're just going

to release release them out of their tube um I'm GNA put on a little more

light here hold on I forget at this time of day you know

the Sun starts to go down here in Cali and um I've already got my needle

pre-read pre pre-threaded so I'm find the end of my

um my Wildfire and I'm just going to do like a little knot off here to the side

so just to kind of give you some idea right hand left hand so this is my far left

warp my first warp and then uh three more warps after that so I have a total

of four warps because I'm going to do three beads across okay so I'm going to

take the needle and the thread I'm going to transfer that to my left

hand and the loom is in front of me so this part of

the Loom is furthest away from my body and this part down here is closest to my

body okay so

again my Wildfire is very very EXC Ed tonight it's dancing everywhere um left

hand needle and thread come under the warps so I am

under the warps closest to the wood I'm going to transfer the needle and thread

to my right hand then I'm going to pick up three

these are too size 80 seed

beads so three on my needle and then I'm I'm going to help them and just let them go all the way to the end and you're

guiding them and you're guiding the wildfire and then we're going to with my

left hand I'm going to help prop them up in between the

warps okay and I'm going to bring that up to the camera so see how they're up

and in between the warps and then with my right hand I'm

going to take the KNE need and I'm going back through the and my

needle is gliding on top of those

warps okay and then I'm going to pull and I'm going to help guide the

Wildfire it's really funny different colors of wildfire are a little bit more excited than others this blue is like

it's just kind of like everywhere it's so beautiful though it's well worth it okay and then we're just

going to pull all right nice so that's our first row and

then once again needle and thread are in my left hand I'm coming under the warps

the needle is closest to the wood base here transfer it over to my right

hand and pick up three beads three

so what we're working on is we are working on the base of our

bracelet so we will build this base until it is the length of the desired measurement uh in

my case we want it to be about 6 in

long so what you need to do is some map definitely before um if you have I mean

one tube of 8o toos uh three across should get you a pretty

lengthly bracelet if you go uh you know any more

than that across you might need to have you know more

beads so again I'm just guiding the wildfire and then I just give it a

little tug there coming under the warps and picking

up the three beads letting them

fall Wildfire is like grabbing onto everything it can let me grab onto your

chair let me grab onto the corner of your table and I just want to point out too

um this is my left pointer okay this is a my pointer finger I I'm helping the

beads to prop up and in between the warp so propping them up towards the ceiling

and then using my pointer finger as a resting place for the beads as I go back

through them again I'm going back through the beads and I'm on top of the

warp and let me just point out too you can

see that where I started was about you

know that's probably a good two and a half inches at least three maybe even what you want to do is you always want

to Center your project um and so I don't let me bring

this one in really quick and let me go sideways and I'll just kind of show you

so you have a better visual so this is my chevron

bracelet and I like to build my bracelets so they're right in the middle of my loom so that I have close to equal

amounts of warp on each end so that whatever it is I'm going to do to you

know to end and finish I have enough warp to do so so it looks like I'm going

to be beating until just about the end of the hairline there so let me bring

this back in coming under the warps and picking up

three and then once again we're just going to pop those up using my pointer

finger as support guiding all the the

Wildfire now you don't have to use this kit to make a bracelet you can do a lot

of other things you can make pendants you can make rings you can make earrings um you know so you're not

limited to a bracelet but I feel like you can use the

techniques that we are learning on how to build a bracelet you you're going to

use the same type of techniques to do those other pieces so this is a base every project needs a

base and then periodically I'm just I'm looking at how things are going are they

you know is my base straight are they aligned I'm always making sure that I pull just tight enough so that I don't

have any loose Wildfire there's nothing like having that little loose ribbon of

wildfire on the side and it just makes you want to pull your hair

out so I try to um really pay attention to the structure of my base as I'm

building

for and we're just

pulling you know once you get your Rhythm down this goes quite

fast and you're not you know behind the

camera and you can certainly use the original jewel loom you can use the

small wisdom Warrior um if you have the earring looms and you want to buy the kit to make some

really beautiful earrings you can do that you can use the mini wisdom I mean

really all of the Looms um would be just fabulous with this

kit and of course if you want to warp with the Wildfire you can do that

are there enough to do a four bead base like one more um I think the count of an

Ado gosh it's in my book who's got the book handy I think

one tube aatos is either 320 beads or

380 and I'm so sorry right now it's not coming to me but if you did that divided

by four it'll tell you how many rows you're going to get um and I do think

that that quantity is probably googleable as

well I know Miss Kelly just did um a video on seed beats and I don't don't

know if that was included in there or not I haven't had a chance to read it but what I'm saying is that in the

2.5 tube of 80 seed beads there are typically I think it's 320 or

380 so and then again um was that Linda who asked I can't see um do the total

beads divided by four and then that'll tell you how many

rows and if you find that then I can probably help you with the

answer yeah a huge shout out to all the new

really fun if you have a special love for the juwel loom products and you want

to come on and be with me on a live um I think we

were doing that our Hope was to do that on Tuesdays so if you're somebody who's not

camera shy and even if you are camera shy I'm

your girl to help you get over it but um you know out let me know that you'd like

to do a segment together and you would like to show your favorite love um you know what you do on your Jewel looms

whether it be the original blue jewel loom the baby Loom any of the wood

looms and people love that and I think it's really important

to um showcase you we have so many talented um people and we have people

who are just using the beads oh is it 500 50 beats Maria holy

cow where' I get

320 I think that's for that project I made for the ocean's

desire or maybe it was 500 it's been a while since I wrote the book which by the way the book will be

coming um Back available and I talked to bellcraft

publishing and we're looking at March where I will finally be able to um give

you some information on where you can uh purchase the

book and so I'm really excited about that I got my rights back I do believe we're working it out to where it also

will be on Amazon but it'll be um on Amazon and on uh through Bella

so I can't add it to my shop because it's the it's um well what would the

proper term be it's size it's um it's

too big for the shop ofice shop plus it's just makes more sense for

it to be with Bella and with Amazon so I will definitely keep you

updated on that yeah thanks it's the book I as you probably know gosh what year did that come out 2016 or 17 I

can't remember now um but it had a really great run with F&W and then sadly

fnw um went bankrupt and they sold it to penguin and then penguin uh was doing

great with it and then they decided not to print anymore I was like excuse me um so mama

was like give me back my book so I got my rights back and uh now we're going to

you know which is awesome because now we can do you know we I my you know Ann

Butler owns Bella uh publishing and so she's super stoked to not only offer the

jewel loom Inspirations book but to start building more

Collections and um she's you know she's the right

person all right look at here you want me to come up to the camera really

quick so you can see um I really love the hemp because it gives you an

opportunity I think to really keep your warps nice and and

straight and uh they're just looking really really good I love looking at the piece when it's on the wood Loom and

they start to come into the design I don't know there's just something well anytime I work on the

large sunweaver um you know the original weaving goddess

Loom I get her warped and I swear I cry I cannot

warp her and not cry there's just something so

unbelievably emotional and it's not like not like you know sad it's just like

this really beautiful connection

oh 305 beads

okay I like even warps because then if you are going to add a button um it's

kind of nice to be able to tie you know two and two together so I typically like

an even amount of warps so like say you know three beads across six beads

across almost picked up a fourth one how you doing back there Joan Joan

had a hot wild day

today she's on a long long day she working overtime at this

point you know there's um I I love a

base you know like this is our base and I love just making bases and then adding

the clasp and wearing that like say with a piece that's more

chunky so you know there's always fun expression just with with having a nice

base too you don't always have to go don't always have to go big or go home

but you know me I I do I do like those Loops a Lori you're so

welcome yeah I've been weaving um at night on the sunweaver the large

sunweaver it's a part of my big project I'm doing for NTA for the national Arts

material Association Trad trade show and

um I'm quite proud I I'll have to show you my base I did a really great job of weaving

all the the fiber and uh and my warps are like really really

nice and I didn't distort my shape and and so I was like all proud last

night and so while I'm doing this too um we did have my father's Service uh this

past Saturday and I must say that it was very beautiful his Pastor LED um I got to

welcome everybody and so it that was a little a little hard I did have some

tears of course but it was um really precious to turn around obviously I was

in the front Pew and when I got up to welcome everybody to see like the church really um you know lots of people there

especially all the people that he worked with over those 42 years for the city of

Oxnard um you know that was just really really uh touched my heart and um I made

it through you know I boohoo a little of course who could you know that that would be tough not to and

um and so the pastor Pastor Toby wanted to play my dad's favorite worship song

and it was so good I have to find it for you I believe it's called I have hope

but it's a re was remade by Rachel somebody so I'm going to find that um it

was like hands in the air you know like if I hear a good worship song I'm just like hands in the air and it was really

good um beautiful flowers were sent and we had a celebration afterwards at the

Nights of Columbus and that was really cool and people came we had tacos of

course if you're from Oxnard you know it's like we have um the best Mexican

food and we have a beautiful uh Hispanic culture here and I grew up in that and

um and so we had uh the carneada and so we had let's see carneada the um see I'm

not going to be able to say all the words correctly we had chicken pork and beef and we had uh beans and we had rice

and of course we had uh chip and salsa

um and yeah so it was just precious to

uh see people from my Dad's life and my dad's past when we were little you know

people we would go to um Red Rock with and go swimming and it was just really

nice so um I I know many of you have left your condolences on the different

pages and I am just you know and my family we just so grateful and

so uh you know it's it's a lot when you when you lose anybody

right but I am going to tell you well maybe I won't tell you right now because I don't want to cry so let's keep let's

keep weaving but anyway yeah good stuff

Big Life 87 years fun

guy tons and tons of uh especially since I moved back home 10 years ago my gosh I

was looking through all the photos I can't believe like just how many things we did and um you know I'm so grateful I

got to go fishing with him and go boating and and so you know we're Portuguese and obviously fishing you

know my father was that was his life on the azors right and uh the Azor Islands

outside of portug and so really just super stoked which

I'm going I'm going to the azors you all like mark my words I don't know when the

trip is but I really uh would like it to be within the next two years I really

want to go and um if you want to come with

[Laughter] me like I'm like wouldn't it be fun

so Portugal is known for Cork and they have a the majority of the cork Source

um comes from there and I would just love to know better you know like what

comes from Portugal what comes from the azors there's a lot of hiking a lot I mean it's just the azors are beautiful

absolutely beautiful that sounds like a beautiful sendoff yes so the thing is like you can't um

boy taking taking ashes internationally not easy so that

probably won't be the case um it'll probably just be me and and I don't know

you know I don't know if my little brother will be up for going with his family um but I think it would be

fun so Pottery yes you're right there I duh

I have some pottery so it looks like I'm getting close cuz I said probably down to the

end of her hair

right Bonnie says that's right that's right okay Bonnie we we need to get this

tour together so if I'm not mistaken it's kind of like you would fly in probably

to Lisbon and then um fly over I'm assuming to to the

azors so my dad was from the um the

floors Lori are you serious Lori says she wants to go to Portugal um but she's

never traveled well I'm a great traveler especially inter

internationally I have been I have flown all over the world by myself

um and I love it I love flying I really do and I just find the

whole process so empowering so um start saving peeps I'm going to start

saving and I'm So I must have missed something here let's

see yes I'm real excited about the a new John bead findings and I'm excited to

see them at NTA in March um hoping to be able to sit with them and and Danielle I

can't wait to squeeze her of

course I'm also doing a really big event with uh bellcraft P publishing in

April and um an and I are meeting tomorrow so I'll get more details but

she puts on bellacon every year and it's a pretty big to-do and myself and my

brand juw Loom uh we're going to be a part of it so I will let you know the

details and these are um other designers who are you know from the paper crafting

World General craft world so it's going to be like a mix

of projects and opportunities to learn oh and I'm real excited so Julie McGuffy

who is like one of the craft Queens um there she's got a cricket at her house

and I want to learn how to use it I I definitely have a background with

digital Die cutting from sizzix uh but I never use the

Cricut and so I'm excited to figure out what all the rage

[Music] is with the Cricut

Machine okay let me bring in my bracelet and see how far we've gotten you'd like to learn too Joe

nice okay so let's just see here there's going to be a row all right

so it looks like I still have a few rows to

go you use your Cricut all the time see I think I would use it too and I'm just

thinking about like the creative Soul Community you know what can I create you know just fun little things so I don't

know if you all know but I I had die Cuts with spellbinders and um that's how the

goddess actually started so I don't know if you know that the goddess was a

diecut before she was a jeweline or aoom so in her previous life she was a

die cut and um oh my goodness I had a design team that made some of the most

incredible designs with the goddess D cut I had Gorgeous

Flowers um and some keys you know like L like

keys that you would put in a door I had these really pretty frames um it was a it was a really nice

collection of paper crafting dieses

oh did you really Lori that's so funny yeah I well I love both companies

of course spellbinders and sizzix you know I was with sizzix for many years as their International spokesperson and I

traveled the world for them and with them and and so uh forever grateful for

those opportunities

wow this is just I wish you could see like I I hope it's showing how beautiful

it is um but it really is so so yeah paper

crafting is great I paper crafting has evolved obviously

right and uh but you know from scrapbooking

to I mean actually if we really want to be honest and go back you know we've got

um you know like paper mâché and paper napkin

applique you know there was a lot of things that people were doing with paper

before scrapbooking and then we had scrapbooking and we had C card making

you know the Stampers W Nelly those Stampers they are serious I love my Stampers okay the

original Loom is nice thank you uh but there is just something special about

the wooden looms that draws me to them so which do you think would be the best to buy

whoa all right Jenny okay so let me um Let me let me ask you what is your

Beating experience I'm G do just a couple more

rows so great question Jenny but I want to I'm going to come back at you now and I'd love to know like what have you ever

used a loom and what were uh what type of

beating have you

done it's like Jeopardy I feel like we're on Jeopardy right

now let me ask you so I'm excited I can't wait to what has she answered

yet so Jenny was asking you know basically where to start like what Loom

right because the jewel loom is an award-winning Loom the warp Bonnet is

hands down the best I'm I will go head-to-head toe-to-toe um on that

statement it's definitely you know definitely um

has the best warp very strong very sturdy warp um it's easy to use very

portable very affordable like if you're just getting started um so you know it

the original blue jewel loom uh definitely um is going to always be my

favorite when it comes to the warp now Jenny says love to loom but lost my loom

I do most types of jewelry making but miss looming so

[Music] much well you know I think that you are

definitely looking at two different you know I mean let's you know

the original jewel loom price point very reasonable starter kit

$29.99 um with the original jewel loom the baby Jew Loom and the beads to make

the Chevron beaded bracelet that I've brought into the camera a couple of times now uh and the Jew Loom

needles so you know that's the plastic entry with the best warp okay

the small wisdom Warrior that I'm working on is obviously incredibly

durable um you're going to have this for a long long long long time and but the

price point is definitely different you know

so if you know how to loom then I have no problem telling you to go with the

small wisdom Warrior I feel confident in that um if you're thinking well gee it's

been a while I should probably get my feet wet again then I would just say

maybe you should you know start with the original Jew Loom and see what you

think I don't think you can go wrong with either obviously my love for the

original jewel loom you know that's like my first child that's my first

child uh but my others that came along are they're just as awesome and you know

a little different what do you what do you think

Jenny listen if you're going to use the loom and you want to start building your collection then you know I I obviously

you know the small wisdom Warrior she's a Powerhouse she's sturdy she's

awesome all right so I feel like this base is definitely long enough and I'm

just going to bring in my Chevron you know this a little bit different but I am doing six Ines so yeah plenty plenty

plenty now what I'm going to do from here is I am going to take the

needle and I'm G to go under the

base as best as I can so it's just kind of like locking

in um that row and then I'm going to go back on the

top and all the way out so we are already at our hour

mark and um let me go ahead whoops let me go

ahead and turn down the lights so I don't scare everybody when Joan brings me back

up hello hello I'm back so we got the base done to our

bracelet and we've um we're already an hour in and

so what I'm going to say is let's rejoin next Thursday and I'm going to work on

the middle here I because I am

also I am loving this button so much I think I'm GNA sew my button into the

middle and then I think oh gosh are you killing me y'all look how pretty that is

so I think I'm going to sew my button into the middle and then I'm going to do all the loops around that and I feel

like that needs to be a concentrated presentation so let's come back and we

will do that next Thursday

Tutorial 2:

there we go now you can hear me okay Joan and I um we love catching up

it's like our little moment in the background to catch up and so uh of course we look up and we're like oh my

gosh 14 seconds hey everyone welcome welcome welcome I'm Juliana Avalar um the

inventor of the jewel loom bead Loom this is Thursday night and on Thursday

night we come together and we weave we

bead we create and as a community um we hang out and so we have um we have a

live feed on the Facebook group under the JW Loom name we have live feed going

on over here on the YouTubes and so there's always a lot of interaction um

people are talking back and forth and I am demonstrating teaching you how to do

something on a loom on the one of the many looms that I currently

have you know I got something up my sleeve when I got the little Winky Winky

going on all right so let's see who's all who's who's all here Caroline Sherry

Zach Maria Maria is always in the house in the chat room before we even start

she's like this is I am position number one

Maria Maria Maria so so great to see um everyone here and uh again I'm Juliana

and uh I've been in the creative world for just about 30 years now and I

started off way back in the day with elene Jackson and I've had a lot of fun doing a lot of really cool stuff I was

thinking about the time when we had this company come on and it was like a so

many moons ago and they were taking drier lint and they were turning it into

the most magnificent art that you've ever seen in your life and we were just

like like what like we would um that show was so cool because it really

allowed for the artist you know um the family

who was still working in the out of their garage oh my gosh was it stamp pendis I think it was

stampendous because when they would come on to elans they were still working out of their home they were just like a

little little boo boo company right so so many great memories and

um and so much exposure to like different types of crafts you know if

you're familiar with alen's tacky glue in the gold bottle you also know that

back in the day we were doing papier-mâché we were doing paper napkin applique we were making bread dough

roses with glue that was Joan fee she was like the queen of that um and oh my

gosh I remember this one time when we did faux stained

glass okay and I'm not just saying we sat around with little 4x4s and did

Stone glass us right we did an entire Booth like back in the

day like how far back Jewels okay the late the mid to late 90s

and like the and like before that is like when you could go to a trade show

and you could barely walk down an aisle because it was pumping

like things were happening and it was amazing and you couldn't even maneuver

down the aisle alen would take an aisle like her Booth was so big and it

would be on both sides both sides and so this one year prior to a trade show we

would tape the television show all day long we would have guests coming in I would be co-hosting I would be

demonstrating and then we would literally stay up till like midnight in the studio and we were making faux glass

windows for the booth it was the most amazing thing that

you've ever ever seen and so I just think about creativity and

general how lucky how blessed I've been that I just so happened upon that

job after Josh was move born and we moved to this tiny little town uh called

Loke and the town where alans was located was in Buon California where PE

soup and Anderson's very famous and um and so it's just it's exciting to think

about that and I'm very inspired by those days and um I I love creativity I

love creating whether it's on a loom whether it's a home decor piece in fact

next month as I've mentioned and I'll mention again we are coming out with the wine caddies and they're going to be

gorgeous so the creative soul members they're already dialed in

so they're getting a beautiful wine caddy I put together this bag of beads

where we're going to um decorate the wine caddy so I've got the holes in here

and this is the beautiful design so you can stain it and then it's just going to be like a chandelier you know and you

put it on your wine bottle or your decorative bottle it doesn't have to be

wine okay like if you don't drink wine totally cool and you slide your glass so

I'm super excited about that because I I just love all areas of

creativity so yay all right so Melanie's in the house

Zach and Robin and uh looks like everyone is here again I really want to

um encourage you to spread the word about Thursday nights over here on the

jewel loom Channel how we're a community of people create creating chatting I

love how everybody is just like chatting it up talking about what they're doing talking about um Caroline's talking

about macom a wall hanging and Robin says wine my kind of

drink hey David David's here um my my

David and Tammy who I met when I went on the trip to Prague uh that oh last year

because we are in a new year so yay awesome okay so listen um last

week we um I showed you all the new

kits and holy guacamole you all thank you thank you

from the bottom of my heart like you love them like you really really love them

and uh packing's been going on and on and it's like multiples it's like well

wait a minute she just put an order yesterday and then another one we and I'm like okay gather them gather them

all together you know and and get them and out and so I will tell you that the

majority of everything that ships from California went out today uh and I am

hoping that tomorrow there is another huge batch that goes out all creative Soul kits for January have been shipped

out and I'll start working on the education for that my deepest apologies

for not having something dialed in for December um but we would really like to

show off what you've done that box was beautiful and I think there are so many

different things that you can do with it thank you for your grace you know you know that my father passed away between

that and the services and the holidays I'm so sorry that I have not touched all

the yummies but you all are doing amazing so you're like the teachers you

get to be the teachers for December so yeah um Hey listen last week when we stopped I got the base of my project

done and congratulations to all of those that bought a small wisdom Warrior I'm

so proud of you like I really am I know you're G to love her and I just think

it's a really cool step that you took into your creative

future and every every time I saw one come through I was just like you go girl like it was so cool to see that so

um yeah so last week we and let me just pop out my B my button my botton last week I did the

Bas I warped with the hemptique um cord oh secret I saw that they were doing

some sort of a $5 off sale so I think you have to be uh subscribed to their newsletter but remember I want you to

get your H teque cord from ique okay and I'm hoping to get it back in stock but I

got to figure out how to do that with them so I built the base um after I did my warps with the hemp

cord it's the variegated one it's a purple blue Vari variegation I can't

remember what the darn name is it's so delish super super delicious okay and

the button that comes in this H kit the sugar the sugar baby the

um sugar oh my gosh why can't I remember Joe what is the

name sugar baby we just renamed It Anyway this button comes in the kit and

it's so stinking beautiful I wanted it to show you know to be shown off so I was like oh that's what I'm going to do

I'm gonna um sew it into the middle of my project rainbow sugar plum kit yeah

like come on girlfriend so um and then I thought well you know what I'm going to take some of

the smaller beads and I'm going to make loops on the bracelet so sugar kiss you

know what it's sugar something it's amazing it's delicious it's delightful

it's absolutely scrumptious so okay so without further Ado I want to go ahead and get into it I'm gonna get ready to

come down to my table here and um once Joan brings up the overhead I'm going to

turn on my light a little bit there we go okay and now mama can see

okay so uh you may or may not remember and you'd have to go back to let me pull

this into the frame here all right so when we left off last

week my needle and thread were down here on the bottom row because I had built my

base okay so we come all the way down and my needle and thread were down here

at the bottom I had plenty of wildfire left over which by the way using the

blue and I just ordered more I don't think I put it into the darn system

though if you need blue you're going to see that it says sold out remind me when

we get off and I'm going to go um put the new inventory in there I totally forgot about that okay because you all

bought what I had so um so what I did was I literally

took the needle and thread and I just weaved all the way back up and I left

let's see about one two three rows that I'm going to that

I'm going to put loops on I don't want to overtake the button it is

so so so beautiful I mean come on

now come on now look at that it's so beautiful so I don't

I I really want it to be the showpiece I love the too seed beads I love the hemp

cord I I love everything that's going on so I don't want to do too too much what

I am going to do now here is my Wildfire it's out here on the left side I'm going to turn my loom so that

I'm on the right side here where I'm going to put my first Loop and what I'm going to do you can see um this is all

the little stuff I pulled out all the big stuff because I'm not going to use that so I'm just going to put that to

the side okay because that makes it easier when you're trying to figure out like oh my gosh what am I going to do so I'm

going to take the needle and thread and I'm going to go through the first bead and then I come

out in between let me see if I could bring this down a little bit more hold

on let's see see

okay so I'm coming out in between that first and second

bead and what I'm gonna do is I'm just going to grab some of these little

guys and I think I want to do

blue and then this pretty lavender and then another blue let's see how this

works out and I'm going to let those fall and then I'm going to go to the right side of the

80 through the second bead and then up and out between the second and third I'm

actually G to attempt to do a loop on every

Ado okay so I think that's good now is it

going to get a little crazy with tightness let's see what happens for giggles

um I might reverse and pick up a

lavender and then a blue and then a

lavender and going to go through the right side

now I will tell you when you warp with the hemp it gets real tight in there

so you just got to be patient um and I just love yeah this is going to

be so cool okay so I'm going to do another one I'm going to go back to the original

blue Lavender Blue okay and then let that

fall and then I'm going to take the needle and thread on the right

side okay so let's

see oh I picked up a different kind of blue that or did I is it just the iridescent looks different whoops

whoop oh let me get the camera to readjust it did not like all the

movement okay so that's good all right so I'm going to turn the loom around again I'm always coming in from the

right side we'll get it's really tight in here let's see what I'm

doing I got to stand up hold on it was okay so I'm G to come

through that first let me see something one

two man that is really do I want to do one two or do I

want to do okay I'm G to come through here for

Giggles I think let me

see what's going on okay

um all right so I kind of maybe want to

do let me see let me see let me see let me see

there's so many options okay so if I go blue but no I want to alternate I want

to I'm going to go lavender and

blue and then lavender or mauve whatever this

is and then I'm going to go through that first hole that first bead I mean and I think

I'm going to go all the way out and only do two Loops because it's getting really tight so let's just do that and we want

to make sure that these guys are nice and snug and kind of even help to

manipulate the bead in there a little bit Yeah I think this is good because you know what like I said I don't want

to take away from the button and instead of

changing it up I'm I'm going to keep it the same so Lavender

Blue Lavender is that the right blue no that's not the right blue I need a

bigger blue okay and then let me

whoops let me go back through the right and it's yeah it's getting really snug in

there so you're just going to want to take your time and um help to guide the

beads and pull nice pull there okay so I just don't yeah let me bring

this up to the camera I got to go slow or it gets really

angry so by all means if you're feeling like you want something bigger you can

do that I'm just trying to be a little bit more cautious of not like

going too crazy and really allowing the button to take Center

Stage so I think I'm just going to do this little Nestle on each

side but now what I got to do is I gotta come in here

and secure the button oh there goes Marlon Brando okay

so I'm going to I'm working underneath here so that I

can get over to the

button so the the shank here is I don't know if you're going to be able to see

it's kind of dark but I just pushed it through so it's right here by my

thumb

okay so is getting very tight there um before

I go all the way I'm thinking I'm thinking we know what happens when she

thinks I think let me see if I can so I don't want to break my needle

because it's really I'm I don't think I can do

it so what I'm trying to do is I I would oh I no yes yes okay I wanted to come

out so that I can go through the the through the shank

now okay so I'm putting my needle through the

button come on buddy there we go so do you see like

there's a lot of maneuvering a lot of like shifting so just um bear with it

don't like you know just don't get all crazy and so I'm gonna you know just

pretend like I'm sewing on a button like I would if it was on

my my sweater or my shirt and I'll just do this a couple of

times okay maybe that's all the times and then what I want to do is get into

that oh thank you for working thank you oh it's so wonderful when it goes the

way you want it so all I did was I I I snuck the needle into this second bead

here and shot up the only reason why I'm like kind of being dramatic about it all is because it's super tight like when

again when you're working with the the hemp cord it's a really beautiful nice

sturdy texture for your warps but um you know it just gets tight and so you know

that's why I'm I'm just like saying the things that I'm saying uh

oh okay so let's see um sometimes when your

needle will not go through I don't want you to force it I want you to bring your Flats

in and very carefully just try to figure out like okay well where's it getting there we

go see that way it doesn't break

okay so that's that works all right

okay so I think I'm in the position now where where is it one more

maybe okay might be one

more okay so let's go back chills

flash okay so we're g to come back here to this side

side and I want to mimic what I did over here so I had a

lavender blue

lavender and we only did two Loops closest to the button so I'll go all the

way out and again this is just what I'm doing so so you know if something else

is speaking to you then you know by all means please you know please

that and we're going to turn it I got to stand up so I can see and

then on this one I'm going to do a loop on every

80 so we had

blue lavender I think there's like two sizes

of Blues I keep grabbing the wrong one and then we're going to come out in

the middle there

and then I reversed it so was it yeah Lavender

Blue Lavender in the middle and then all the way

out oh am I out of the camera

sorry and then once again blue

and lavender and

blue okay cool all right oh that is just enough just enough I love it oh my gosh

it's so amazing okay so I'm going to turn this

around and I'm just going to weave my way

down thank you Lori I am just loving this it's so simple um but it's like

screaming is it well I don't think I can say the brand I don't know I don't want to get in trouble I don't know I don't

know what so it starts with a C it's just reminding me of

like something uh a really beautiful jewelry

brand what a great um simple quick project I

mean these vintage buttons just really set it off I'm going to have to see if I can get some

more so

pretty so there's still um quantity on the kits and um these configurations I don't

have anymore so everything will have to be uh sourced and curated and I don't

know in what time frame that would even happen so if you want

one yeah might ought to get

one okay okay so now I'm going to take the needle and I go

under it's a little challenging when you got the hemp

cord but well worth it so I'm just trying to get the needle under the warps

and through the beads I just like to do that little

extra bit of

anchoring got to turn myself cuz I

C okay okay

cool

I think my battery just dead okay well did that have to do a

little more so okay um oh my God I love

this okay hold on let's put this over here so I don't lose a needle we don't need a puppy with a needle in its in its

foot and I'm just going to close that really

quick we'll come back over here and just going to try to undo the

knot don't want to scratch my my

girl oh what happened

here okay so

I let me put my my beautiful she's so gorgeous okay let me

put her over here so we don't have a loom

down um oh my heck are you kidding me right now look with my check glass

bracelet a come on come on now can I get a come on

now wow okay so here's my dilemma I turn this place upside

down and I'm not exactly in love with the idea of a

slider I don't know for one it's it's bigger than the three

across okay so I'm not I'm not in love

um and I'm just going to be straight up

honest right now I'm gonna have to go on a hunt

for a little I I was going through all of my stuff and I just didn't find one I

just didn't find a but a button that I wanted to use I thought about the butterfly and

maybe painting The Butterfly um purple so I might I might do that but I

don't know all right I gotta come on now from

Zach yeah so I'm loving it and I don't know I might break down and

do but I just don't think it I don't think it's right I don't

think I don't know I don't think it's right I don't like it I don't like the

slider so with that said I will be I will be on the hunt to the the

other little button that I was thinking of you all hold on don't go anywhere

um I don't know I think these were in I think these

were in a creative Soul kit oh it won't work they're too

stinking small ah darn it okay hold on let's look for something

um so I think if I were to if I were to paint one of

these like that might be actually kind of rad like if I stained this like a

really pretty purple blue that might be really cool the sword

and the Vintage button that might be really hot I don't

know but at first like if I if I painted this

up okay so I like that um I don't know

about the butterfly I mean it could maybe but don't you think I feel like

the button has like a really um uh Roman

Empire you know goddess like it just has like this feel to

it so I'm kind of still yeah and no the shells are not going to work I'm leaning

towards this button I'm leaning towards the sword I'm kind of feeling like it's a

part of the armor and I'm okay so basically

Judy are you talking about like what so then what would I do like this is just going to be the old school you know

where I'm tying the

ends you know and then I'm doing the loop I don't want to make it permanent

because I'm I really want to um I really want to I want to add this button but I want

to stain it

yeah yeah there's plenty of tutorials on how to add the button um and after I

stain it what I really need to do well I do have um so I'm super stoked about and I

don't want to Royal Talon their 100 plus

year old paint company I'm going to be getting some paints from them and I'm

using their product in my um NAA project

my national Arts material for

creativation and I I bet their paints would be really stinking cool on the

Baltic Birch button so I'm just making knots Judy

like I'm just bringing them down and then basically after I paint

the so sword whoops you know you just put the ends through your button

holes and I'm going to want to keep this clean so I'll go back through and then I'll pull all of that

together again I'm just showing you I I definitely want to

stain paint color my button here but I love the sword and you know they're

available now separately from the designer pack so if you like it too um

they're sold in

threes it's always a little more challenging to

get come on there we go so I'm just

like weaving this back through the

hole and then I would just like tug and pull

down okay so you'd have your one in there all

right that's definitely got to be painted and then you know you fit it so

that you can determine like how big this Loop over here needs to be

where's my third hand all right so we're putting this in here and then I'm just going to do like

this little wonky thing here where I'm like trying to figure out how big of a loop I need to get the button back

through so then I like do like I'm Houdini or something right like a little

magic trick I think I got to back it up a

little I know I cracked myself up okay so all right got out so then I would I

would eyeball that and go oh okay well I need my Loop to be that big in order to

get this big old button right back through it that's my intention right

now I'm looking at it I love it but then I'm like why it just seems like it might

be a little too big I don't know is it no one's I mean like it's balanced it's

not going to be in the front it's not going to be like and the cool thing too

about it is it's almost like you're G like if it does move on your wrist you're G wrist you're going to have like this really

gorgeous piece on the top and then if you come to the bottom it's like this

yeah I think it's gonna be okay actually I think once I paint the button right now it's annoying me because it's it's

not painted but I think once I paint it stain it color and I'm not going to

color it with pencil it needs to be it needs to be a really nice finish so I'm going to have to talk to the Royal

tannins uh folks and I'm super stoked about that um yeah so there we

go there we go all right let me turn the light down so I don't scare everybody Joan already did that

and we can come back up yeah glossy Lori right yeah so glossy in order

to I think if we do that and match that then it's going to be fine it's worth a

try and I love the symbolic of it all like you have this vintage antique button with the

really cool it's like got of armor it's it looks like a stinking armor like a PL like you know like come and get get me

cuz I got my sword double snap all over the place so

I think it makes sense it's just throwing me right now because it's not painted I'm going to

get some glossy paint I'm gonna paint that bad

boy I'm super stoked about this project look at that come on now rainbow sugar

plum and I'm going to see if I can't get any more of these buttons

then you will have two focals on one bracelet yeah I'll be

balanced and who doesn't want to be balanced well good I'm so glad that that

worked out Judy that did that help yeah I think so like a Wonder Woman

cuff all day did you see how quick I went into

that have I been practicing you know it very cool okay so um let's see I

think not too sure what I'm going to do next week I've got a lot of new things

coming lots of new things I can't wait to share like all the monthly creative Soul kits that I was just telling Joan

that February look I'm going to count the months February

March April

May June and very possibly jul well no July two are all dialed in and the product

for all of the months is here except for one

month it's not bad considering I feel like a grownup now

I'm like getting so good at this

I'm getting so good at getting all that together so yeah um oh Hey listen if you

had if you did order wood I wanted to let you know that because of the freezing

temperatures like even here in California I know I know crimeia River jwes it was 58 degrees it might be 46

one morning and yes as Californians are having kittens I know it's not that bad

compared to the rest of the country but in Missouri it is cold and so we don't run the lasers when it's freezing like

that because it's not good for the machines and it's not good for your product so if you did place a wood order

just please bear with us know that you know how we take making those looms very

very seriously so um we're hoping that we're going to get a break with the

weather in the Midwest and uh Robert will be uh and the elves will be back at

it so we had a a couple of nights below zero in Eastern Tennessee yeah like I

don't know I don't know it was it's yeah we're

supposed to have we we've been having like really cold cold but I feel bad I

can't I can't whine about the California cold we're such babies I'm gonna be the

first to say it the whole country is frozen yeah yeah and a heck of a lot

worse than we are so Hey listen I am so so grateful for um when you show up and
