How to make a beaded Hair Barrette on a bead loom
Tricia Giazzon is the instructor in this special Jewel Loom School presentation, using the October Creative Soul box, among other supplies, to show how to create a stunning hair barrette. She shows us how to weave it, add dangles, & attach it to Ultra Suede, so it can be glued to a barrette finding. This is so beautiful.. gluing it to a pin finding would be pretty, too, but may have to adjust the size to the pin finding. And you can also use this design as a centerpiece for a choker or bracelet. Jewel Loom School is about teaching techniques, so you can use them or add them to your designs…or even to expand or change up your designs.
Supplies Used:
- October, 2023 Creative Soul Box
- 8/0s & 11/0s Seed Beads
- Barrette Blank
- glue

hi guys hi I'm so excited to be back tonight uh my name is Trisha gon and I
am here for juel Loom of course at ju Loom School live so happy to be back for
a demo um we are going to make something super fun today guys this is something I've been wanting to try for quite a
long time um we're going to be making a hair bread now this can be modified any
way you would like you want to make a smaller one you want to make a bigger one want to make it into a pin it's all
going to depend on the size of your base but we'll get into that a little bit more later so I just at the beginning
here I want to let you guys know that I do have a YouTube channel it is Trisha's pink poodle jewelry studio and I would
appreciate if you would head over there subscribe give me some watches some likes that's always so appreciated guys
uh I see so many of you there that uh do that for me and it's I'm so grateful I'm so so appreciative so I'm going to show
you our project here and then we're going to turn the camera down to go ahead and get started but this is our Brett and I'm sure you saw that in the
um picture that was there I guess the lighting is not so good we'll see it on the mat too but this is my version now
keep in mind guys I know that a lot of you are out there and don't want angles and don't want this that any other thing
but I'm going to tell you all about modifications okay so I'm going to turn my camera down and we're going to go go
ahead and get started because it is a bit of a longer project so it'll just
take a minute while my camera
switches and there we go usually that initial one
takes a while I'm going to turn my other light down here to get some better lighting for us there so here is our
Bret that I've created now just going over the basics of it before we go to
the loom uh this is just a base that I created behind all these beautiful Loops
I've done some gorgeous loops on it done these dangles I will show you how to do all of this and use some of these
beautiful daggers from the the this month's Workshop these floral ones I'm
dying for guys and then we're GNA I'm going to teach you how to back it and do
a beaded Edge and also how to put your bread on so you're not going to have any
worry of it coming off okay so first we're going to do we're going to warp
our Loom and as always we're going to start out by putting our bar in and G
gently pushing it into our to tummy and popping our our rod in the top okay I'm
going to turn this over and I'm just using 0.5 hemp here
you could use a wildfire as your base also if you wanted to uh but this seems
to work really well and it seems solid so I'm just going to go around this button a couple times and then tie this
off with a couple knots whoops just tie it off with a couple knots just to make sure everything is nice and
secure okay so I'm just going to feed that through and give us a nice tight
knot there and then one more and once you have your material
attached to your loom you can go ahead and start putting on your warps so what
I normally do here is I'll take my hemp in my hand hold my loom like so and then
I'm going to lay my hemp onto the loom okay as I'm flipping that over I know
it's hard to see um but I'm going to get you all fixed up here so I'm going to pull this
across and I'm going to put it on the other side I'm going to get some of that out uh rolled out from my hemp in
approximately the same place okay guys I'm going to flip it over grab the
button I'm keeping everything nice and taut as I'm doing that I'm going to skip two rows two of our grooves here rows
grooves whatever you call them because we are going to be using 80 seed beads to fit in there and we want to use two
grooves for that and then I'm going to take the the hemp
across skip two grooves again and we're going to grab this button on the back
okay back up and over and skip
two take across and skip two now this is going to
be four beads wide so that what that means us is that we're going to need
five rows to support four beads so five strands is what I mean so let's get two
more here so this is our
fourth back to our little button and then skip two
more go across I'm G to pop that over we only got one on that one so let me
loosen that up there we go there's our
two this is a really simple warp guys this is a small warp and easy to do
especially with hemp all right so I've got that last row on so I'm going to take this hemp and wrap it two or three
times around my button on the back on the side that I ended up on and I'm going to cut my hemp loose from
the roll I'm going to feed the hemp underneath all of the warps that I've
made on the end here just so we can get a nice tie off okay and I'm holding this
this end here just trying to make sure that we don't get slippage and we don't
get loose warps okay just making sure I'm keeping everything secured slipping
that knot in under there giving one tie off then I'm going to do it one more
time in underneath there around the
button and through I know it's hard to see guys but I'm tying it off around the
button so I wanted to do it two times then on the second one I'm going to take my pliers in here and I'm going to give
it a pull and get it nice and taut there okay we want to make sure that's on there well so we've got our warps on so
all we have to do now is take our bar out so I'm going to do the same thing that we did to put our bar in and I'm
going to press it lightly into my tummy my my um end of my
loom and I'm going to just pop that Rod out now I'm seeing as I'm trying to pop that Rod out it doesn't want to come out
easily so I don't want to break my loom so the trick is for that guys is just turn your loom around put the other end
into your belly give it a slight Flex lift the bar out and there you go
usually if you turn it you will get every time you will get um
your bar to pop out easily so I'm going to put this up on my loom stand I think you'll be able to see it well on there
at least I hope so let me adjust the camera that way it'll hold it still for me um while I'm demoing this part for
you and you can see I work from the bottom up guys and um a lot of folks work from the
top down that and I know that's what you rules does but this is me so that's how
I do it so I'm just going to use my little Loom stand that my husband made me that I absolutely
love so what we're going to do here first guys underneath these Loops we have built a base of 80 seed beads okay
so those 80 seed beads are going to be four beads wide as we discussed because
we have five warps and we're going to make 31 rows now those 31 rows fit the
particular Bret blank that I have purchased okay so this is what we're
looking at I think I purchased these at Michaels or Hobby Lobby somewhere like that they have these on hand in the
jewelry section and if not they're by the ribbon you can usually get your hands on something they have all
different kinds of options of barrettes hair combs um you know single breads
that aren't quite this big if you don't H to have thick hair you can just use a
smaller Brad just scale down your pattern okay so for my pattern we're
going to do 31 rows with our so let me set this up
here I'm going to open up my here I did thread my needle with some wildfire
and this is the 0.006 in Frost that I'm using but use
whatever makes you happy guys and then I'm going to do is just take the end that does not have the needle on it and
I'm going to go up about I always eyeball it with the hole and I go
slightly above that hole now there's going to be quite a bit of waste with this one as I showed you once I take the
other one off you'll see that um so you could ideally you could do two breaths
on one warped Loom okay so all we're going to do here we have our our strand
tied on there so when we're done we can feed it back through tie off in the middle no one will be the wiser so we're
just going to pick up four of our okay and I'm using a jewel loom
needle of course they make it so much
easier all right so we're picking up our four I'm going to put those beads down
this is how I like to do it I slide my beads down to the end shuttle my needle across
underneath pull my thread through my fingers and then pop these beads up and
through now once they're through just get that a little
better then you're going to just take your needle and you're underneath at this point and we're going to go up and
over the top of this outside W and take our needle and go through our beads and
make sure that we're over top of the warps with our needle because if you're not guys it's not going to lock it in
for you okay this is just basic jol Loom 101 in case someone is new I want to
make sure you know this project from the ground up so you can do it from the ground up okay so we have our four in
okay and we're just going to begin working our way up for 31 rows so I'll do a few more of
these and then we'll get to my step out but I'm just picking up these four
beads again yes hermy says I use the baby Loom
to make my brats and you could certainly certainly do that um that if you just
wanted to make one that would be the ideal way to do it for sure I am just a tension bar girl so I
always end up going to my original but that would certainly work for you no
doubt all right we're just going to keep doing that we're going to pick up
four
okay and we're building our base now the reason I'm using eights as my base
instead of 11s is because my needle's going to have to pass through these beads a few
times so I want to make sure I have enough area inside the bead to um be able
to sew in my dangles and do my loops and all that
stuff so let's do a few more of these just to make sure everyone has got
it and we're just dropping down I see someone is asking for the
color of the these are actually both the uh Rosaline this one is the
transparent frosted that's the 11s that I'll be using and then this is just the transparent in the 8os
okay we should have everything in the description I know Miss Jan is so good for that so and we're just going to pop
these
up and we do have some off the loom work with this too to sew your edging on on
which is kind of fun you get the best of both worlds with that I don't want five I want
four so we'll do this last row and then we're going to move on to the next
step so I'm sure you all have this by now you're all so talented you pick up
on this stuff so quick okay so I'm just going to put my needle in through here
because I'm going to come back to this project when I have more time so we're gonna drop this take my bands
off and I'm going to move this out of the way and I'm going to move in The Next
Step so I have gotten my base finished okay this is the one that I have
finished let me lay this here so you can see it okay so I've got my 31 rows here guys
so next what I'm going to be doing is my Loops so I have figured with my 31 rows
I'm going to come in one row on each end and then I'm going to do um loops on every other set of beads
when I get to the center here you can see I have this head pin stuck through the center I like to do
that um Lori says my husband should produce the loom stance we've talked about it we've talked about them but I
will let him know someone else is asking um so I like to put my head pin in the
center this is on 16 so when I get to the center I know
that the one to the right and the one to the left are and the middle one are all going to get the strands so I know to do
my strands at that spot so everything is nice and centered and this is where my large bead's going to go okay L he wants
one okay honey I'll tell him so I have my loom here we're going
to start doing our loops I don't know if you'd be able to see it if I yeah you
should I just love this thing I'm like addicted to it it it just holds things so nicely it's like a third hand I was
talking to Joan prior to starting the live about it and I said I just don't even know what I did before I had it but
he's a talented fella that's for sure and it's just a basic um Loom stand but works like a
charm so anyway enough commercials for loom stands so I'm going to come in
one from the end so I'm just going to pop my needle up to that next row
because I'm coming out down here with my my thread I did not take my thread off I didn't cut my thread when I finished
here I just cut the one end as to where I started as you can see and then I left
the one that was the one with the needle on okay so we're going to pop up to that next row because that's going to be our
row for our Loop and what we're going to do for that I'm going to take these little
and get them over here so I can collect those later so what we're going
to do for that as far as beads that I'm using now
in this kit there is a ton of options I mean guys you pair any 80 any 11 o with
this kit in this skuy the limit there's so many colors and so many beautiful combinations you'll see on the one that
I I've done um that's still on the loom that we're going to take off the colors that I've used for that Leo transparent
frostline yes those those are the Leos that's for sure Joan thank you so I've
got a strand of our be our beautiful pink beads out I've gotten our little I
can't remember what you guys said but there's fire polish there's little nibs in here there's two whole beads really
cute mix and I'm gonna take a little bit of that out because we're going to use those
on our the dangle Downs okay and I've got my 11os some of
those out because we're going to use those and I'm going to cut a little bit
I'm going to cut the end of my strand here because I want to get some of these beautiful pink AB beads off here these
chips they are just stunning okay so we have that then I
have gotten out my daggers because I know I want to put daggers on the
end of my dangles and then I've picked out these this this particular bead as
my Center bead I believe that's a natural stone if that's citrine I think
um we have these beautiful check glass flowers and these beautiful check glass
table cuts that have this beautiful um rose gold color to them
just stunning so you pick you do you guys as always you know pick out what makes you happy I think I'm going to do
try doing a turquoise one next so as we've gotten to this next row I'm going
to pick up now all I've done let me just double check this on this one that I've made I
did yes four on each side so we're going to pick up four Leos it's been a little while since I designed it so let's pick
up four eleos I'm going to pour these out too so they're easy to pick up
quite a beautiful selection there don't we so I'm going to pick up four
Leos like I said one two three and
four and then we're going to pick up our Center bead whatever we want to start with there so let's start with one of
these beautiful rose Golds put that on and put four more seed
beads our leonos okay these are this is what's going to give you your beautiful
Loops okay so we went through the second row so now what I'm going to do I have
my beads on there I'm going to take that needle and go up and over and back through that row
okay you see how I'm doing that so my thread is now looking like that it's in
a circle so I'm going to put that needle through give it a
pull and we're going to have our first Loop there you go there's your first loop
we're going to skip the next row now having this thread along the sides by skipping these rows you won't even see
it because everything between the loops and the
um the side beads that we're going to have the trim on the edge between the ultra suede and the Bret you won't even
notice them so we're going to skip a row I'm going to work up to the middle
here guys so I can show you all of that in the middle once we get up there but we're just going to do our Loops every
other okay so pick up four 11
O's okay and then our next bead which I'm going to pick up one of these gorgeous
check flowers and four more seed
beads so now we're coming out the other side than what we were over here so now
we're going to make our Loop but we're going to go into the other side once our beads are on okay so we're still making
the loop with our oh come on get in there uh thread
and that's what's going to make your circle on top and you're just going to work your way up and build your Loops every other so
we're skipping another row go into the next row
and pick up
four okay a rose gold and four
more okay and loop around
all right so we got that pop up to the next one and I'm just going to speed up
a little bit here so we can get to the center because I'm sure you guys already have the loops
down so I'm going to pop up to the next one Pi up
four I say I'm going to speed up and then my my hands don't want to cooperate that's
usually how it goes right okay so
flower four
more okay I just want to back this up just to
smid more just to make sure you're able to see that here we go sorry for the camera
movement guys I just want to make sure you're getting the best view there
okay all right next
one okay woo that one flung throwing seed
beads there we go and four more almost to the middle this goes fairly quick
making your Loops especially with skipping every other one that's up to you though guys if you don't want to
skip you don't have to but I thought with the size of the beads it just looked a little nicer to have a little more Breathing Room you could see the
the beauty of each bead better
okay and then we're going to skip a row and
up pick up our
four our
flower and four very basic simple
steps and that's what I like I like you guys to be able to just watch it once
and get it I mean if you need to watch it more no problem but I like to keep them simple enough that you know anybody
can do it and anybody can make it okay so the
next and then this will be the last one before we do our uh
dangle all right so we are on the rose gold
here yeah hermy says that um skipping the rows gives it movement and I
absolutely agree that's another plus to it hery thank
you okay all right so now what we're going to do I see that I'm going to move
the um loom in just a second here once I get my Loop so I see here that I
am up to my pin I'm on the the row on my
side of it that's where I am okay so we have one row on each on this side of the
middle pin okay so I'm going to go go up into that
row just like so just shuttle my needle up
there all right let me make sure I don't get this caught on my head pin which I
did all right then I'm just going to go underneath and shuttle it back across because I want to be able
to have my which you could do it on either side I guess we can just start
here but for me my mind I'm thinking left side left side because when I created that's what it was but we can
certainly do it here so once you shuttle your needle up before I do my next Loop
I'd like to do the dangle part of it okay so I want to this is a good spot
here for this but I want to push our beads over here so we can see what I'm picking up
there okay it's getting a little blurry come on now
Focus there okay and then I have my beautiful pink chips and our daggers
here okay me move these up make sure
everything can be seen there we go and our little daggers
up here all right so that is what I'm working with right now to make our
dangles okay so what I started out with was three of these beautiful
chips and I have found making this part of it before you make the loop I don't
know if I said that but it it helps it makes it a little easier to do your dangles so I'm just going to pick up my
beads so I know that I have three of my pink uh chips and then I'm going to pick
up a fire polish one of the pinch beads and
another fire polish three three more just a basic
pattern three more of our chips all right and
then fire
polish okay pinch
bead fire polish and I think I did yeah three runs
so I know I I need to put on one more set of the pink I did three runs of the
pink and two of the uh rose gold and fire polish okay so
I'm going to put on three more of these these chips these pink pink chips get my
needle toor right there and then once we get those chips on is when we're going to put our dagger
on now this is I have one that I want in the center and then I want a floral on either side so I'm going to pick up one
of my florals because this is the one of the side ones and I'm just going to put
I have all my beads on my needle here okay and I'm going to put the needle through my dagger just like
so and my beads are going to go up and the trick here let me get my fingers out
of the way okay here's our dagger aren't those gorgeous oh my gosh I love those
and we're going to bypass going back through our dagger but then we're going to go over top of it here and we're
going to start going back through all the beads that we put on here and that's how we're going to get
our dangles to stay secure okay so I'm just putting this back through the beads
little bits at a time you don't have to keep everything tight and close at this point because we can adjust it and then
I'm just going to work the rest of my beads here just like
so going back through through those you just want to go back through
all of them got a few more
here so once you do that we have pulled the needle the whole way through okay
now we have space there and we wouldn't want that right so I'm just going to hold my needle in my left hand and then
I'm going to hold the dagger in my right hand and I'm going to pull on this thread with the needle on it and it's
going to move those dangles right into place where you want them okay so what I'm
going to do at that point is I'm going to go back through I'm going to
shuttle back through here and these loops on this side I make
small I just use um the pinch beads and the fire polish
in those so let me get my 11 here if I still have a few more of those put these
out I like to because it gives that big bead in the bid excuse me the big bead in the
middle more room to groove so we're going to pick up four
Els and then a fire polish a pinch bead and a fire polish and that's going to be
our Loop there and I'm going I shuttled back through now I'm going back through that row this is why I said we need to
use AOS because they're going to give you room to breathe okay so I'm just
going to complete that Loop so then we're going to go down through the center row where we have our pin okay so
I'm going to pull that out and I'm going to shuttle
across because I want my needle to be on the right side so I can create my
dangle okay my thread's getting shorter um so what we're going to do
again we're going to follow the same pattern change this up as you want to guys we're going to follow the same
pattern and I'll be anxious to see what yall
make and just do our fire polish and pinch beads and
our beautiful chips grab that fire polish push these
beads down three more
chips
okay I'm just working on picking up my beads still
guys so we're just making this row off of the Loom
which I I think um is something maybe we don't think about all the time that we
can do all kinds of stuff that is on the side of the Looms dangling down there's
things you can attach things to it to give it more Dimension and more
interest okay so there we have we have three sets of the pink and two sets of that we're going to put our Center
dagger dagger on and do the same thing that we did before we're g to put that
on and then go back through our
beads and sometimes my hands cooperate and sometimes they
don't we go let's go up through that and get
through sometimes that helps if you pull some through then you don't have so much to worry about being um loose on
there
okay and we're going to do the same thing we got our needle through all of our beads and we're going to pull on
that left hand Strand and hold onto our dager and pull our dangle into place so
now we're going to put our Center bead on here which will really make it pop so
we're going to pick up some 11os I think I can get away with it maybe for these if I do this with my thread so we're
just going to put on the four beads just like we did before for other
Loops okay and our large bead which is
stunning citrine
and then four more [Music]
11os there we go and we're just going to make that loop again at this point you
would hopefully have more thread and you can which I only did a little bit of thread because I knew I was only going
to be doing half but um you would continue across the same
way every other uh just leaving the end row blank on each side
okay so let me put my Loop in place make sure everything's taut the way I want it yep looking good all right so that's
what we have so far guys okay so now I'm going to set this to the
side and this is one that I have made ahead that's still on the loom so I can show you how to take that off um I have
tied everything off and I just need to um yes I just need to cut this right
I don't know why I didn't cut that one uh I've tied everything off and weaved it back through and knotted it in the
center most of it so so you cannot see um the knots okay but even if you have
them on the edge like I did this one you're not going to be able to see it anyway on this one I decided to use
these beautiful um ammonite looking beads and then
the red and blue beautiful check class um I did the same dangles I used
different uh daggers on it but now we're going to do the part where we take this
off the loom now I am going to be using glue and I have a beautiful beadboard
here that I was gifted and I do not want glue on my beadboard so I'm going to
find a place to set that for a moment I get that going to need our
just briefly while I show you all of these
steps okay so we're going to take this off the loom and like I said there's a lot of waste on this so as hermy said
you could use the baby Loom you could put two on here you could keep this a little further down because all we're doing guys there's no tying off on this
you're just flipping those ends in underneath because they're going to be stitched on to the it's going to be
stitched on to the leather and glued on to the ultra suede I mean okay so you don't have to worry about tying it off
so we're only going to need you know a small amount on the ends to be able to get it underneath and to you know keep
it in place so I'm just going to flex my loom just a little bit I have it against
my belly and I'm just pushing down on it and I'm going to cut my threads to get this
off okay so once it's off
set that over there we are going to cut our strands
because there's no reason not to so I just leave what is that about half inch or so
there on either side because there's no sense having
that excess right and then I have some ultra suede
here that I purchased and what I did honestly is I just set my bread onto my
ultra Suede and I looked and just Guided by
looking at it and I just took my scissors and cut that out okay so I'm going to
say right about here because you do not have to be exact oh I'm sorry guys I'm not on the there we go right about here
and I have my dangles out of the way so I don't cut them so I'm just going to you could draw around it if you'd feel
more secure um doing that so you'd have more exact piece but like I said um
your piece does not have to be exact all right so we're just going to continue cutting
that and do that now we have a little wider width up here which is okay but
I'm going to trim that and I want to look at it make sure it's going to work it's going to cover the back and yes
that's going to be more than fine I have more than enough there okay so and then what I decided
then was I wanted to have a piece of ultra suede going the other direction now why
would I do that well I want to be able to once I get this glued on and in place
I want to be able to wrap this other piece around my Brad blank we're going
to stitch it on either end here because we have holes and again I'm up down here
because we have holes we can stitch it on as well as glue it on but I want to make sure we're good and solid so this
is going to wrap around and give you reinforcement okay so the first thing I
do get that off there I take I have b7000 but you can use E6000 whatever
kind of glue you like you have uh tacky glue whatever you like and I glue this
part to the this uh top piece of suede onto
the bottom piece of Su just like so just squeeze your glue out and if it comes
out like mine doesn't want to you know there we go we're getting some now
okay so I'm G to just attach that and I'm going to put wrong sides together on
this okay just simple just like that and then what I want to do and I
just realized I didn't grab my Clips so I'll be right back let me grab my clips
so Clips make the make this a little easier to do for your ends so once you have that on there then we're going to
start gluing on our uh beaded part to the back and I
just like to look and see here okay well that'll work I'm going to fold those under just like
so all right and I'm going to make sure I have enough glue on my
piece to be able to tack those ends down
well I guess I need to someone needs to get me more b7000 I guess you go so we
have enough glue on there and I'm going to fold these ends
down and I'm going to lay this on to my piece and you have time with
this kind of glue and just lay it on there make sure your ends are folded under and
underneath all of your bead work and you're just going to press down on that make sure the rest of this goes up
here and I'm just going to take one of these clips and I'm going to clip this in place onto my suede okay
so whatever size of Bret that you create with your beads and I'm going to turn it this way to get the clip onto it uh you
will need a piece of ultr suede slightly bigger okay so I'm going to clip that there so you can see how that's really
going to help you keep everything in place as you're working because the first one I did I did not do that and it
was a little more difficult let's say okay and I'm just going to fold
those under do the same thing put that in
place and if they come out as you see some of mine did there you just have to work them under you have some time with
the glue just make sure everything's underneath neatly you can take your little scissor
and give it a little push make sure everything's in
there okay and again we're going to take our little clip and hold on to the side because
right now we're just holding with glue we didn't attach anything to the Bret yet okay so we give that a few minutes
to cure so what I want to do is once this is all glued on make sure I have
enough in the middle here and giving it a few minutes to
set put this on so it doesn't run out everywhere we're going to attach it to our Bret blank okay so the way my Bret's
made I can put this flap that I made in underneath here and it will give me that
extra security okay so what I'm going to do now is I'm just going to take one of
these off and I'm going to make sure that my ultra suede is cut up to the
edge of my piece so it looks nice so I can do my beaded Edge and it won't stick out so
I'm just going to take my scissors and just Edge this off okay and I know because of the fold
over that I need on my piece these scissors are not the best I only need about a half an inch here so I'm going
to go ahead and cut that suede down as well
okay and then I'm going to cut the other
Edge you're just evening up at this point guys just making sure everything's
nice and close together and taut and glued and it has a nice backing on
it you you're not going to see the backing too much um I mean you can tell
let me show you on this one if I can find it no it's up
here you can see mostly just the suede that we fold over there so that
works that way for you so all right let's trim this finish trimming
this in our piece this is the the glue time is what get you right okay so once
you have everything trimmed I'm going to take this
off and trim all those
edges all we're going to do at this point is attach it to our Brad now I'm
going to take the Bret blank and I'm going to put some more glue on it if I have any more left in
here and roll this down that should help and I'm going to put this all over
my Breet blank around the edges everything just to give us some more security here okay we're just putting
glue on to the Brad okay then all we're going to do at this point is I'm going
to close this Breet because it's going to be a little easier to lay this on I'm going to lay my bread across it just
like so just like so and you can see I have a little
overhang on each side that's what I wanted I like when it's over just a just
a smidge hair so then I'm going to open up the back as I turn it over and we're
going to do we're going to glue our flaps down now okay so I'm just going to do the glue in underneath here
underneath where that Arch is and I'm just going to put these flaps through just like
so on either
side and this is going to be another place you're going to want to use your Clips so we get one down and get the
other over I'm going to take my scissors in there use it as a little tool just to make sure everything is nice and taut
pulled in underneath there before I put my clip on I'm just pressing that down
just holding down just gluing that baby on there okay and then you can always to
go back and trim your suede if you need to on any of
it get in there it's getting sticky now guys and
you can go back on these edges if you need to is what I'm trying to say to go ahead and
um trim your suede okay so there's that
and one more clip all right get in there can be a little tricky folding
your flaps but we get it there we go cut a little
bit more here because I can see this is kind of blocking that from going
down I don't know guys what do you think about the idea of this flap do you like it do you think it's
necessary get your input on it but I I think it really helps secure everything
up all right we get there there so now we have
that with our little Clips on now we're going to stitch Begin by stitching on
our our our suede part to our breath sorry about that guys I'm just having
words are hard you know so I'm going to grab my needle
here my needle one
thread and what I'm going to do next is make a knot on the end of my thread okay
get these scissors out of the
way just make a knot and a hold going through the
Suede and then we're going to start stitching so I am fortunate like I said
on my Bret blank that I have these little holes in the back so I'm G to start there make sure this is all
sticking here all right and I'm just going to stick that through to get
started and I'm just going to go across the hemp so I make sure I have
holding on to one of the rows there because that's going to give us what is going to in essence hold everything in
place and not just go back back through without grabbing a row okay grabbing a
strand of hemp and I'm going to cut this so I can see what I'm doing better I'm pulling that back through and
you can do this as many times as you feel comfortable I usually do it about three times and it seems like it really
seems to be secure at that point so I said we're just going to stitch
through through the hemp across the hemp there and back through the
hole okay so that's how you're going to stitch it on if you have this kind of bread now I can see on my underneath
part here that I have where my suede is it's coming out a little bit so I'm going to adjust that a little bit and I
want to make sure that my beads are laying flush so I'm just going to make sure
again that this is all where I want it I'm just going to push that back in there make sure everything's snug
and that's the nice thing about this kind of glue you have time to work with it guys and you have time to you know
let everything dry and um get where it needs to be so once
that is done once your stitch on you can start doing your edging and the edging is quite simple we're going to get our
bead mat back down here and we are going to put out some
now I decided on mine to do my edging with I think it it doesn't take quite as long and it looks it gives
you um a loopier appearance because the beads are bigger you know I think anyway
but your choice you could do it with El if you wanted to so let me just pour out a few e O's here now my string is coming
out of my Loop but that doesn't matter I'm just going to put it back up
through that hole and I'm going to aim up here
through through the top cuz like I said you're not going to see all this guys all right and so I want to go up
here to the top and I'm going to make sure when I'm putting my beads on that
I'm hooking into the hemp on the on the uh piece and hooking into my suede as
I'm stitching okay so I'm going to go through right underneath that
warp and through the suede come out the other side and just as simple as when we
made our Loops but we're going to do it with three
OS all right so we're going to put on three OS come on
fella and then we're going to go right back through that same
area that we just went through and make a loop over top of it okay that's going
to connect the piece and the backing together okay we do that
again we're going to go over now we're going to step over before we put our beads on so we always want to do that so
your Loops are nice and straight so again we're going through the suede underneath the outside
warp okay pick up our three beads or three
OS and then go through and underneath again in the same
area and this just gives you a nice finished Edge on your
piece I really like the way it looks and then we're going to go back
through to get moved over we're basically shuttling our needle over by going through the area next to next to
the loop that we just made okay
that and then we're going to do three
more and you're just going to work the whole way around this Brad with the
same Stitch and it's just going to give you a pretty
finished edging on your bread okay
so you can see how that looks all right and then here is the
demo one that I made and you can see the loops along the edge of that how cute that looks everything's nice and
finished glued in place we have our dangles Center bead we're good to go so
let me get my camera turned back around here guys think we got that one
licked there we are let me put this back up yeah so I hope you guys really enjoyed
that project um it was super fun for me to come up with this is something like I said that I've been brainstorming for a
while thinking of doing but just not quite you know doing it or taking the initiative
