Transcript:

So today I'm going to show you how to

create this rainbow variegated hemp

bracelet. It's really a lot of fun. Um

super easy to make and the kit has

everything that you will need to make

it. So there is the variegated rainbow

hemp and then there are a variety of

beads in a couple different sizes.

So to get started, you're going to want

to use your jewel loom. And I work with

the jewel loom in this horizontal

position so that it is always in front

of my body.

So the first thing you're going to do is

lay it flat with the top part of it

facing up towards the ceiling. The top

part has the words jewel loom stamped

into it. So you'll know that that is the

top of your loom. Now, the metal rod

comes with the jewel loom, and you're

going to need to insert it into the

loom. So, what I do is I take the bottom

hole and the rod, insert that into the

bottom hole, and then very gently, I

take the loom and I bend it up and pop

it into the top hole. Pop the rod into

the top hole. So, the next thing that we

want to do is we want to start to create

our warps. So, we're going to turn the

loom over. And as you can see, there are

two buttons on the back side of the

loom. And this is where I'm going to tie

onto. You can see that I've already had

a project uh going on this one at one

time. So, we're working from the spool

of hemp. And we'll just put that big

part to the side. And we're going to tie

this onto the back button that is

closest to our body. And what I do to

get started is I create a little what I

refer to as an air loop. It's just the

beginning of your knot, but it helps me

to guide that loop onto the button.

And when I do that, I want to start to

create the knots so that they are in the

middle here of the button and closest

again to my body. So that was our first

knot.

This will be our second. And each time

I'm just making sure that I really pull

nice and hard so that my knot is really

secure.

So, now we're ready to create our warps.

And what we're going to do is we're

going to bring the hemp and we're just

going to let it rest over here on top of

the grooves. This hemp is a little bit

thicker than beading thread. So, it

won't necessarily lay in between the

grooves. It will lay on top of the

grooves. And because we're only working

with a small part of our loom, we don't

really need to worry about how many

grooves in we're starting at. But if you

want an idea, it looks like it's about a

half an inch to maybe 3/4 of an inch

from the far left in.

So then I'm going to take the loom with

my hand, my left hand here, and I flip

it over.

And you can see that I'm just letting

the loom right here. I'm letting the

hemp rest on

the groove. And then I'm going to match

that up down at the bottom. Just go

ahead and eyeball it. You don't have to

be exact, but I could tell that that

looks good. And all the while I'm

keeping the tension with my hand. So,

you see how that is? How that warp is

nice and tight.

Next, what I'm going to do is flip the

loom forward and I'm wrapping it the

hemp around the back button.

Then I'm going to skip one, two grooves

and let the hemp

rest in the third. So, let me just get

that. There we go. So, let's just see

that right there.

And then once again, I'm going to match

that up to the top. Skip one, two

grooves,

lay it down in the third.

Flip it over. And again, we're just

wrapping that around that back button.

And I'm going to skip to

lay down in the third.

Bring it towards me. Oh, and you see how

beautiful this rainbow variegated hemp

is is already showing all of its

gorgeous colors. Now, we're going to do

four warps. And let me just show you.

See how nice and tight that is? That's

how you want your warps to be. It's

really important. Once again, flip

forward. Wrap it around the back button.

Skip one, two, lay down in the third,

bring it up to the front,

skip two, lay it down in the third. And

now we're going to tie it off. So I'll

just wrap it around that back button a

couple of times to get it, you know,

nice and secure.

Pull that straight.

trim to about six or seven inches. And

then what I'm going to do is take the

end of the tail and I just thread it

underneath the warps. Let me see if I

can't get my fingers out of the way

here.

So, I've got the tail threaded

underneath the warps. And then I'm just

going to bring that tail back through

the loop

to create my first knot.

Now you want to do that about two to

three more times. So under the warps,

tail goes back through the loop. Pull

tight.

Okay. And for giggles, we'll do a third.

So let's turn it over and we'll go ahead

and trim that a little bit.

We'll turn that over. And that's what

you want. So let me see if I can get the

sound.

It's almost like a guitar string. That's

what you want. You want really nice

tight warps. Most of the time, if you

lose the tension, it's usually the first

warp or the last one that will be

dragging really low. So, the next thing

we want to do is we want to take

the rod out of the loom and we're going

to put that to the side. Now, if you're

working with people um maybe younger

people who might need some help with

this and you're on a time frame where

you only have so many minutes to do this

project, you may consider pre-warping

your jewel loom just so that everyone

has a chance to actually get the

bracelet done if you are in a time

conraint type of situation. So, what

we're going to do next is I have taken a

piece of the hemp that comes in the kit

and I have threaded it onto a blunt

needle. That means that it's not sharp.

Okay? And it's plastic and you could

typically find these um at your craft

store.

And you can do this by hand as well. I

just find that using the needle does

help me. Now, I'm going to turn my loom

this way just so that I can show you

what I'm going to do next.

I'm starting with the J in the jewel

loom. That this is this is really a nice

indicator of the center of your project.

So, you can see it says jewel loom and

that'll be my center. So, I'm going to

come under the warp, over the warp,

under.

I'm going to pull all the way through.

And then I'm going to leave a tail of

about 4 in long.

Then I'm going to come under, over,

under.

And you just want to help these first

few rows to start to form.

So under,

over. And it's just this repetitive

motion.

And once again, let's just keep these

nice and nice and tight, but you don't

want to distort the actual figure of the

bracelet. So, we're going to come under,

over, under,

and squeeze those little guys together.

Awesome. Okay. So, can you see it coming

together now? The the actual weave of

your project is starting to show. And

those first three rows are, you know,

what I call the fumbolina rows because

you're kind of trying to get them in

there. You're trying to get everything

adjusted nice, straight, tight. Um, and

then you can see as we do the fourth one

how much easier it is. See how that just

Yeah. A lot easier. And now it starts to

form itself.

So depending once again on the time

frame that you have, you know, if you're

if you're teaching this,

you could create, you know, the length

of the original bracelet that I made

here, which is basically the words jewel

loom on the loom. Or you could do

something shorter. Um, either way,

you're going to have a very colorful,

fun bracelet that anyone of any age

would be super excited to wear. So, let

me go ahead and show you what I've done

over here, uh, with a finished one. So,

we'll push this out to the side here,

and I'll go ahead and bring in my

finished piece. Now, isn't that just

great? I really I love this rainbow

variegated hemp. It's really gorgeous.

So, now we're ready to secure these

tails to the warps. And what I do is I

just simply, and by the way, you could

tell mine are a little bit longer. Um,

do at least 4 in. If you feel more

comfortable leaving a longer tail,

that's fine, too. It's not a deal

breakaker. But all I did right there was

I just created a little knot to secure

that. And it looks like we need a little

one up here, too.

So just, you know, creating little slip

knots.

And there we go. Perfect.

So then the next thing that we want to

do is we want to take the project off of

the jewel loom. So we're going to turn

this over. And you can use uh scissors,

you can use cutters similar to the ones

that I have in my hand. And basically,

we're going to cut. Now, remember,

there's a lot of tension in this loom,

and so it is going to possibly make a

sound when we cut.

There we go. Not too bad.

We're going to put the loom to the side

and then we'll start to build our

project. So, if I bring the finished one

in, we can see that we have these two

blue

beads. And I'm just sliding that one on.

And then I'm going to tie a knot.

So after you add that one bead, next

what you'll want to do is to start to

string the other colorful beads onto

the warps.

So we're going to try to get both of

those through there.

There we go. And so what you can see I

did was I spread the warps out so that

you have two warps here and two warps

here. And we're just going to start to

string the other beads

on.

You just want to pinch these together.

Sometimes if they're a little frayed,

you can nip them

and that makes it a little bit easier.

There we go.

Got this really nice hemp cord. It's

really, really nice and sturdy. So, what

I did, let's let's go ahead and take a

look at the finished one here, is I

added a red, a blue, and a red bead. And

then I did that on the opposite side.

And then I tied a really good knot. And

then I added a big green bead. And then

I tied another knot really nice and

tight. And then I have like my little

fringe right here. So again, we're just

spreading the warps,

stringing the beads onto the warps,

tying those together after we have the

beads on. You know, just a really nice

tight knot. And then you'll go ahead and

add the green bead, tie another knot,

and then the project would be finished

once you completed it on the opposite

side. So, let's take a look at what it

looks like when we put it on.

And just to give you an idea with the

closure here,

unless I've expanded over the last

couple of days, which is possible. I

have a I have a new puppy, so who knows?

But look at this. Isn't it gorgeous?

Just a really beautiful quick and easy

project, not only for the kids, but a

great idea for summer fun for parties

and um you know, just all kinds of

gatherings. What a great girlfriend

bracelet. And I think the guys are going

to love this as well. So, there's your

finished bracelet. You're going to have

everything you need in the kit, as I

already mentioned, your jewel loom. And

my only suggestion is is as I had said

earlier that if you are working in a

time frame that is limited, you may want

to go ahead and pre-warp your jewel

looms just so that everybody has a

chance to get a finished bracelet

completed.

Have fun. Super fun, super easy, and

extremely colorful.
