How to Loom a SilverSilk 3-Needle Chain, Fire Polish & Pearl Bracelet - Jewel Loom School with Joan

August 03, 2023

SilverSilk Loom Beaded Bracelet with SilverSilk Chain

Learn how to weave a lovely bracelet on the SilverSilk Loom, using SilverSilk’s newest product, the 3-Needle Chain, as the warps. Grab your glass pearls, fire polish beads, & a small handful of seedbeads & get ready! Joan discusses how to figure out the length of the beaded area you need & how to determine the number of rows you need to weave on either side of the bracelet’s centerpiece design. The How to Warp with 3-Needle chain was previously recorded & the link is listed below. Also listed is how to add a ribbon clasp to your beaded project. And another plus, below is a written explanation on how to determine the number of bead rows you will need on each side of the centerpiece.

How to plan the length of your bracelet:

Ever get frustrated on your bracelet being too short or too long? I’m going to help you with that with this bracelet. Here are some measurements you need to know to plan out your bracelet. First of all, since these beads are a little bigger, you will need to add a little length to your bracelet…why? Because the bigger the beads, the further out from your wrist your warps are standing, which means you need a bigger “circumference”, which is the length you need for the bracelet to fit right. My wrist measures 7 ½”, so I’m going to go for 8”, since the 6mm beads make the beads stand further out from the wrist than seed beads would.

Here are some measurements you need:

The length of the bracelet you want ,including the clasp you will be using & endcaps you will be using. Since my endcaps will set up against the last row of beads on each end, I am measuring the endcaps with clasp attached & closed. Mine measure 1 ⅛”.
The centerpiece in this bracelet measures approximately 1 ½”.
5 rows of the 6mm Glass Pearls with 5mm Fire Polish beads equals 1”.....Or ⅕” per row.
2 rows 11/0 seed beads equal ⅛”.

So here is the formula for how many rows of Fire Polish/Pearls you need on each side of the centerpiece: Length minus centerpiece minus ending/clasp equals length of pearls/fire polish areas. Divide the # you come up with by 2 to get the measurement for each side next to the centerpiece. For instance, 8” bracelet minus 1 ⅛” for encaps/closure minus 1 ½” for centerpiece equals 5 ⅜”. Divide 5 ½” (I rounded up from the ⅜”) by 2 to get 2 ¾” of beads on each side of the centerpiece. You can keep measuring to make sure you have enough beads for your length on each side. Or, knowing 5 rows of beads for each inch, you know you need at least 10 rows, but what about that other 3/4 inch? 3 more rows will add a little less than ¾”. So you can add 2 rows of 11/0 seed beads at the ends to make up the slight difference you are missing. So I would weave 2 rows of seed beads, 13 rows of Fire Polish/Pearl Beads, Center Piece, 13 rows of Fire Polish/Pearls, then end with 2 rows of seed beads. Hope this helps!

Transcript:

hi everyone my name is Joan dice I am the um Jill Loom School concierge and

I'm also the silver silk social media Ambassador um so I do work both with Jules and

nelay so this is like a great project for me to work on I just want to say hi to all of you

um both currently watching while I'm in chat and for those who are watching

later this is pre-recorded so I am in chat um to answer questions and chat along

with you if I do miss a question give me about five minutes because I am flipping between Facebook and YouTube

um to um catch what everybody's saying uh so and then I am recording this right

after I already did all the tutorial pieces and edited them I just want to let you know that

um the original ending that I show at the beginning had to change because it

didn't work out but what I'm going through telling you about the measurements and everything goes for any

ending that you use it doesn't have to be that specific one that I'm showing at

the time so um well let's get started and thanks again for joining me

okay let's get started um first of all I want to um help you figure out

um how long to make the beaded area so uh first of all I want to show you

what I'm using of course we're using the silver silk loom and I've already got it

warped I showed that last week or the week before on how to warp it with the

three needle um chains the silver six three needle chains and I also am using the silver

silk bead board so um it'll and of course everything's

showing backwards on my um camera but it gives you the idea it's got a lot of great sections and with

measurements and um okay so I'm using wildfire

and I decided to use the pink since I'm using rosy colors I I tried the gray and

um and I also tried a different brand with their Smoky color but I do I I'll just give a little bit accent of pink on

the cord and I'm also using some seed beads I

ordered the wrong size so I got this out of my stash it is from jewel store I just don't have the name and then I've

got these and they're both they're both 11 old 11 0's this one's Gold Line Rainbow Light charcoal

and then I'm also using six millimeter glass beads

and um since she had a great sale on the fire polish um you know buying them in bundles I'm

using the five millimeter fire polish I don't care if it's a little bit wavy

on the sides because of the difference in sides it's a little bit but the silver silk might cover that up some

more and for the centerpiece I'm using a little bit different colors for that

Okay so how to measure how with the beaded area is going to be first of all

I'm going to end a little bit differently I didn't have the pensions or the crimp ends from Pierre Castle on

to use where I have them I can't find them my disorganized Dash I put them away I

don't know where so I'm using these um ends that actually I got them from Danielle Wick store you

you know you can beat around them for your ends and I'm using like um

what do they call those ball closures

but you know pick out the closure you want and then these are going to cramp

the um silver silk when it comes back over

um actually I'm going to need two for each side

I'm sitting one here just so I can show you how to measure so you can figure out the beaded length so I've got everything

laid out for what what I'm going to end with and I'm going to hold up my measurement

and of course my camera is getting in the way

I can't find my shorter so you move it up here some

sorry about that

so that this is a total of two inches and since I want a seven and a half inch

wrist that means there's five and a half inches of beading so I'm going to put these to the side

now and then as far as the five and a half inches of beading goes I

um there's a center of the bracelet that um is going to be 1 and 3 8 inches wide

and then I found Roe um that um two rows of seed beads is about an

um to a CC's not a quarter of an inch I think it's an eighth of an inch and

that's about what I need to make up for it um I wrote down the wrong number so so I'm

gonna just to make my seven and a half inches I'm going to end with the row seed beads on each end so that leaves me

with I need um not counting the middle I need eight rows of pearls and the fire

polish on either side of the center and that makes it one and three-fourths inches so I get now I've got a total

adding all that together of a seven and um

seven and a quarter let's see I don't know if you can read my sloppy writing so when I make the blog I'll show an

example how I um figure that out you know writing down my example

so I'm going to go ahead and get started

and I think move the yeah I'm going to move this

closer and I forgot to thread my Wildfire I usually do about

um do what works best for you I always use two yards because I hate

adding thread but if I have to add thread I'll show

you I've had it in a couple of my tutorials before on how much the um

and um I have a pair of scissors dedicated to

this and um they're Fiskars they're really sharp and that's all I use it on is Wildfire so I

can keep them in good shape foreign

you know I'm a big fan of the um big I need also if I have done thread

and stuff and even though I know how to thread a needle and I can do it I'm lazy so I always use the big eye

needle although it's a pain to open it up to this is a new one I do like them

when they get used and um kind of bent curvy but when they get too curvy I just

until they break or something I just keep straightening them out with nylons on pliers

so I'm going to start let me move this forward so I'm going to start this in

and since I want seven and three fourths and this board is about eight and a

quarter um I think I'll start about half inch down

which is a Jewel's name right down here

you can weave into the um chain

but I'm not going to I mean I'll just give a tiny bit more pink accents to it

and it kind of hides in there so um

I left some feedback through the beads to strengthen the ends

so I tie my knot and

I mentioned this during the um

I'm looking for my painters tape oh here we go I use painters tape just to get things

out of the way so it's not getting in my way while I'm

working on this so I'm just going to take the and just out of my way that's

not the end [Music]

and I'm just gonna tuck it back here

and I taped it to the end so it's out of my way until I'm ready to feed it through the beads

I almost double the Wildfire I mean not really quite double maybe take about three-fourths of the way down when I'm

almost doubling it so you know give me a work area and then I'll just keep pushing it through okay

so I said I wanted to start with one row seed beads the um

help me out so I'm going to use some of the gold

and I found with the seed beads it just I usually use um three in between each warp but when I

did it I always use a thicker cord for

um I eat one one and a half millimeter leather when I

was making my prototype instead of um the um

um what do you call it instead of the silver soaked three

needle chain because

I was waiting for the chain and the beads to get here and I wanted to at least get a prototype going so I

can get going on this three

six seven I need two more

eight

nine okay

so I'm trying to get three in between each warp if I measure it right one two

three nope I didn't I could have swore I got mine on there

and look now the ninth one's showing up

I'm just getting that one needle another one

okay okay so get three oh I need to move this up I'm sorry

about that so after you um get your nine

on there put three in between each Warp and then you you're you went under now

you're gonna take the needle and go over and go through and make sure you're going over both the um

going over off all the warps

okay just straighten this out and then I'm going to start my pearls

and um I said how many rows I just want to check this eight rows on each side

okay so I'm going to I use the ones that I have the most of I'm going to turn

this around because those are the ones I'm going to use the most

make sure you can see everything sorry about this I'm really bad about moving

things okay okay so my first row of the larger beads

I'm going to use um a glass Pearl

fire polish in a glass Pearl

let's go back through

our family hands this morning okay

now I'm going to do the opposite now I'm going to do a fire polish so right now for these um

eight rows I'm just gonna um use the two colors so I'm going to use a fire polish

a glass Pearl and a fire polish you know this would look great too I think using

all four millimeters um like fire polish and glass pearls it'd be a little bit

thinner bracelet then um I just think it would look great against the silver silk too you know so

you can play with the sizes

okay I'm I'm just going to do one more row

you know you got the idea until you get the rows done you want before the thinner piece

which remember is um the center piece is one and three

eighths but we're adding these um seed beads at the ends to make up for

that next the other eighth oh

okay I just need to tighten up my warp on them

before I pull through there beside that little Loop

I'm gonna see if I can get my light down here a little bit better because it's kind of dark

then my hands are making an or two

okay now I'm going to go back and I'm just going to keep alternating

until I get my eight rows done

I can't remember if I mentioned this uh and when I was warping but like when I

um you know the silver silk I used to tie onto the warp when I took it off to

work my hand tied it you know I was careful and untied it tie it and then all I did was smooth it down I you know

rub it between my fingers which I'll show here at the end too and it really

smoothed it down quite a bit it didn't make it look bad or anything and in fact I I've done that and reused

it in some other projects too and you can tell you know I'm gentle with it I'm not

rough okay

so then I'll come back when I get done with my eight rows and then we'll start the centerpiece

I can't tell if you can see this but it's slightly wavy I mean just a tiny

bit it's really hard to tell um but I like I mean I like the look so

I'm not going to worry about it if you do have a problem with it you know um just make sure your beads are the

same size which like I mentioned that the um this

is five millimeter and this is six millimeter that's why it's causing that light always laziness

um so I have my eight rows of fire polished pearls and I put on nine beads

I'm using the golden ones and I'm going to go underneath with them

line them up

just when you switch in from one kind of beat

to another it's a little bit difficult okay

now I'm gonna go over the warps through the MC beads

remember go under the warps the one way and then over the warps the other way

okay I got a stubborn seed bead here it's almost like dealing your first row

for the first time because I switched the size of beads

but I'm using seed beads to kind of section off the middle so it looks a little I just thought instead of having

the same cuff you know repeating itself all the way across we can put a decorative middle in

it to make it look a little different [Music]

there we go I kept wanting to go under the warps

now I'm going to use that um nine of the rosy color

um 11 0's foreign

one two three four five six seven eight nine okay

and a Jules always goes underneath first I don't know why I do it this way but I do

I go under after I pick up this beads I try to train myself to go the other

way and I don't I still find myself going back to this way so I got three in

between each Warp

and now go over make sure your needles are going over the warmth as you go back through them seed beads

foreign

you know just looking at this I think I'm gonna put one more bead in

the middle so that means I gotta go backwards and get out I just I see a big gap there and

I don't like that so I'm going to make it three four three

it might be because that Pearl's a little bit bigger and that's you know in the middle bead there

okay that was stupid okay I'm gonna unthread so I can get

that out of there

let me use my needle to pull pull back through by

getting it in the

hoop

so don't be afraid to change the design some them you know to make it look good to you

can I gotta re-thread my needle

pick up one more bead

and then uh I need between the warps I'm going to make it three four three

okay

[Music]

okay now I'm gonna try just because I'm going to use fire polish after this I'm

still I'm going to try it with nine beads on the other side like I did on the one side of the rosy so the golden

ones are going to do with nine beads again foreign

this morning so I'm six

seven eight

nine okay

so this is my last row of seed beads on this side

okay

boy really got a twister going here

usually I don't have this difficult time

with seed beads okay making sure my needle goes over the

warps we don't want it under otherwise they're going to droop down or in some sections it might just totally fall off

the thread like if we did that at the beginning

sometimes if I just have a really hard time with the last one or two I go and feed my thread through and go back for

that one I just

makes me stay a little more patient

okay there we go now we're going to do the center part

and I'm going to use these clear I mean they're lined with pink but they're clearish that's

going to be my first row

fire polish

I didn't realize they're going to be so um I for some reason when I saw it on the

court I thought that was the cord making the color if I don't like it then I'll undo it and

restart the row over let me restart this section over

okay for the second row I'm going to use

these little bit darker spotty beads

go over the warps

and then I add these um darker pearls I'm just trying to make the second in the middle section

um look a little bit different but you can do it like this with the same beads here

but not I mean not you know just use the same color beads but line them up like this

and maybe just throw in like a clear row or another one that complements that um the beads you are using

I am going to check something

okay that's right it's going to be shorter I

you know when I decide to start down here I wasn't thinking a beading section I was thinking of the whole thing I

could have started further down

it's okay

okay now I'm gonna work my way backwards

because that's my center row that dark that burgundy one

ask for a fire polish in the center

okay after I finish this row all I have left to do is the three rows seed beads I'm

going to repeat them exactly um so what we're doing is we're going in

reverse this is um you could see where this is the same as this this is same as that and then

you you'll want to go the gold and the Rosy the gold and then start with this pattern but you're

working this way so just reverse it

and then I'll get back with you when um I get the rest of it done so I'm going

and reverse them here starting this but going backwards and going this way so I um check back in here shortly

okay I just want to show you how I'm I'm finishing this I went ahead and finished

pattern like I went through it did through and then I passed the you know after tying a knot I passed the

finishing ends um thread through um two to four more times and then started

feeling the ends through the beach you know just to strengthen it then

okay you could see how wavy it is but like I said I like how it's wavy

um adjust your bead size if you do not like that I just think it's pretty okay so now I'm going to show you how to

remove this you know when I wore since it's um I had a hard time warping

I mean tying off the last things I used the bead stopper and I actually worked

really good I just put it back behind on the bottom and it's seen in place the whole time I was using it so you can

always do that for your beginning and ending if you want and then I'm going to go ahead and remove this

and [Music] I'm going to untie this one

trying to do it gently um you know I don't want to think of

wasting the um this three needle chain it doesn't come in 60

piece endings 60 inch rolls but you know whatever we

cut off I'm going to try using um

um cutting them in the pieces see how it is and make a tassel of it and use those haircuts pinch in caps

to hold them in place some you know to make a cute little

metallic Castle okay just a minute

okay I'm tying it and see how it kind of looks kinky if I I just gently here work out some of the

Kinks and then roll your fingers over it smooth it through your fingers

and it pretty much goes back in the way it was when you before you started

so you can use those pieces again now

you may have to cut that to get it off I was hoping I wouldn't have to

so I'm just gonna snip that in I'm gonna have to snip it eventually anyway I'm

just trying to leave longer pieces so I want to make something else

okay okay I'm just going to leave that roll that over that way

and that's how you remove it and then I'll come back to show you how to do the ends

we'll be right back I wanted to show you first of all

I can't use this clasp the end beans because it didn't work out the way I wanted it to so I

um and I because of these cramps the inside's two

by four well it's each cord is one millimeter but

the um it's it'd be better if it was at least one and a half millimeters thick

um so um so it was you know just wouldn't work

um because I couldn't get down the crimps tight enough because I tried on this end first so I didn't have a crimp

in wide enough just needs to be a little bit wider so I'm interested improvising

the best way to do this before you um take it off the loom

is to take your threads back and forth this weaving up and down up and down up and down or in and out until you get to

about the thickness of this and then once you cut off your threading and tie it off and cut it off put some

thread I mean glue over it um like I said I'm improvising so I

couldn't get it down tight enough there so because this is a smaller one

and I thought I had 1 8 inch ribbon

but it's a quarter inch it'd be better if you use 1 8 inch

so mine it's showing a little bit on here so sorry about all this improvised

improvising but I'm I'm letting you learn from my mistakes so what I did since I couldn't start so

at the end I got some um six um six of seed beads

and I'm just um stringing them on each strand that I have left

and I kept the longer stance make it easier to show you because I thought I was gonna have to wrap them around there

so sometimes I have to smooth out the ends or trim it a little bit

so um I can get them in the hole easily

on and the Sixers do slide on on these

strands pretty well I have one more to go

now to make it a little bit easier why um I'm trying to do the rest of it

I'm putting a little bit of glue right where I want to put the bead so it'll hold up against it because I kept

wanting to slide on me and I want to try to put the crimps up against um you know the ribbon crimps up next to

it now remember if you're doing it the way

that it's normally done where you do the inside out which in the blog I'll put um

a video to reference for what I'm talking about if you want to use the ribbon crunch try

to cook against the edge and if you wanted a ribbon crimp

um let's see here see how wide this is

um get a ribbon crimp at least 3 4 inches wide I'm not sure how

um here let's see if I have it here

about 20 millimeters wide so I got those

now I want to glue my ribbon on someone about tiny bit over

like I said if you did the threading underneath this which would be easier for you

so I'm going to squeeze it in a little bit I'm going to make it about twice as wide enough High stuff to

make a little bit longer and twice as wide so I I want to trim some up I want to make sure I have enough

sorry about this silver so if it does peek out whenever I use the claws and the ribbon cramps that um

you know it's silver peeking out so unless you're staring at it you won't notice something's been glue down on the

ribbon like right in the center and

let me get the ribbon onto the edge of the beads

I'm going to put some more glue

on it

and that says not to squeeze this but I'm a little bit impatient right now

so I'm sure I have a mess to clean up and see where I left the bottle before when I left it open

okay so I'm folding it over

and I'm going to trim it just a tiny bit over halfway because I wanted to overlap so the cut

Parts in the middle careful not to cut anything on the bracelet

and then do the same thing over here as long as it's not showing on the edges

just be on the safe side I'm gonna um put some weight on this and let it dry

and then I'll be right back to show you how to finish it off

these accidentals are advertised to cut anything so I'm going to turn my off with the scissors

and um like I said I'm going to try to save these to see how they work as tassels

okay now I'm going to put my cord in and

I'm gonna try folding those down because I don't know somehow it got bigger

so you can fit them in there so I see I just angled them over

hopefully I'll stay that way while I'm doing this I tried gluing it but I I don't know

maybe I didn't lay something tight enough

you know sometimes it's just playing with this stuff to get it to work the way you want it to or you learn for the

next time okay I have some tool Magic on this to

um crimp them they probably needs to be replaced but I'm just going to crimp it

slowly so I can keep adjusting it into place

and try to push that in there a little bit more

I like going over it a few times okay

so I have the um one end on I just have to attach this and remember I measured um

according to what I thought I was going to use so I might have to make adjustments if this doesn't go on like I

might have to add a bead or extra Rings or something um okay so I want this

I want to make sure this is going up the right way

and just show you what I'm doing this is the top of the clasp and so I want the I want it to kind of

back to back because this is the top of the bracelet

and then I'm just gonna close my jump rings by turning side to side because you never want to

open like this you always want to open and close side to side and do it a few times to feel a click

there you go let's see if it fits me yeah see because I measured with

something else it's a little too short so I'm going to show you a cheater way to

extend this it's not really cheating but you know it'll um it'll make it look

more intentional so um let's see how short am I on this so I

know how much to add

so about

I'm gonna say it's about the tip of my finger

um and I put my row away so I need to add about an inch

and I'm thinking with the loops I might try

to add um I can either either add jump Rings or I

can add beads I've just got into my stash to find a couple

um you know because I want the larger beads so that's a good thing to find in your beet soup if you keep a mixture of

beads um I actually found this in my Jesse James

bead stash okay now I'm going to work from um the spool

I'm using um 20 gauge wire 22 would work too

um I'm using Derma style wire but you can use artistic wire whatever craft wire

um you have so I'm just guessing on how much I'll need um

actually I guess I put it away that's where it is

this has a smaller tip so I'm going to use these to bend the wire

I don't really need it there but I want it when I get to the other side and then

I'm going to use the smallest and my sixth set and I think that's 1.5 millimeter this one's too you could

probably use either one or just find a good spot on your round nose pliers I just really love my um six step Looper

so I tend to use that the most so that way I can get the consistent loops

Okay so I messed up so I got my in place and I'm going to wrap it around

I got twirl it around

and I'm just adjusting it so some people use pliers and here I just

use my fingers so I got my little wrap Loop

trying to stay in the camera sorry about that and I'm going to wrap it around a couple

times

once I get it twice around then I'm going to snip it

okay and you know what I forgot to touch this

so um which is fine because I can attach my um um

jump ring for this sense but I gotta remember when I make the loop to attach it to the

ending the end cap on my um bracelet

or I'm going to start all over again so I got my tip and I wanted to bend it the

opposite way of that one because of the way it's going to go on the bracelet

so my um fill my class will lay right and

I think it moved on me

hey I got my smallest step on here

I'm gonna wrap it around move it roll it out of the way

okay I got this now before I close it I do need to snip

and I'm going to put it on my clasp or my ending

and put on my ending

back I'm going to use my pliers to hold it in

place why wrap

one two

make a little snap snip the end off

push the end down so not scratching anybody

they said cut it at an angle so you can tuck it in there really good and I always forget about that if I snip

okay now I'm going to lay this out put my tools out of the way right now

I think the two I'm gonna need now is the one I dropped and that one

so okay now I want to put my class on and I want to make sure

they're laying right it's nicer

got that there now I gotta find my little ball thing and I want that up

there so now I got everything organized the way I want it so they're both facing up I'll just grab these so you have to

wait for me to get my so

I like the smaller pliers better for this but um twist it back and forth until you here

click I usually like making sure it's okay

like I got my ball there I gotta do the same way

here I want to make sure I got the hitch

the right way up

you know what it feels a little tighter this way so that's the sign I'm going to have up

so I'm putting my hitch in and I got the words there up because it

was felt tighter that way on the hitch when it was closed putting that on my open jump ring

and then I want the back of what I want for my bracelet going facing towards the back of the jump ring I mean the closure

then we're going to twist a couple more times

probably shouldn't do what I'm doing but I do it all the time I just like making shirts tight and I

kind of squeeze it into I started doing that when I was doing some chain mail and it worked pretty

good okay now I'm gonna see if it works I sure hope it's um loose enough now

or you know

so there's the cheater way if you do make it shorter just add some beads to the end that complement your bracelet or

even necklace or whatever you're making

trying to see so you can see it there you go

excuse my mess
