How To Make Colorful Beaded Earrings At Home!

June 29, 2025

Learn how to create easy to make seed bead earrings with a simple pattern in no time using the Jewel Loom Earring Looms! Danielle Wickes shows you how, from warping the loom, including tips to make warping easier, to finishing the earrings. One of the great tips she shows is how to easily start your beadweaving with the first row, which is usually the hardest row to do. Though the beads and pattern are from the May Creative Soul Kit, the techniques she shows can be used for any seed bead earring pattern made on a loom. You may only have to adjust the space between the warps, if you use seed beads larger than 11/0.

hey guys let's make a beautiful pair of

earrings together i'm going to be

starting with my earring loom and i've

got out four of the five colors that

were in your uh creative soul kit i

started with the plum and then there's a

dark golden um there's also this kind of

like darkish mediumish purple and a

slate gray so those are the colors

there's one other color in the mix that

i didn't use which was a lighter purple

um just for the earrings i had a design

that was more more contrasting so um we

did use a lot of that other color in the

bracelet and necklace design so be sure

to check that

out um i'm going to be working from my

spool to warp this earring loom and so

i'm going to start by tying a double

knot right here onto this little notch

that you have on the side of the

earring there's

one and here's the second half of that

double

knot and so i'm going to be putting 12

warp strands onto the earring loom and

12 warp strands is going to be for a

design that's 11 beads

wide so i went ahead and draped that

across the front of the

loom and down through the first comb

here and if you use your finger or

thumbnail you can hold it in place while

you bring that thread

up and go ahead and feed this one for

one through each of the combs

again just use your finger to hold it

steady and then when you pull you can

help by kind of nudging it down like

that and then up through the next comb

and

over there's four

and

five

oops there we go just going to move this

over here

[Music]

let's see how many we have

there's 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9

10 so there

goes

11 and 12

and from here what i'm going to do is

i'm going to hold this steady and let's

get that tail thread ready to go see the

tail thread here i'm going to go ahead

and bring

my working strand

or warping strand

here over to meet the

tail and i'm going to go around this

little edge to meet it

so that should put me right

here where i can tie a double

knot just to keep everything nice and

tight and if by any chance you're

working on a different design at some

point in the future and you have an odd

count meaning an odd number of warps

it's actually super easy um you would

end up on the wrong side to tie off with

your tail but no problem just travel

back behind it and tie off so that's one

way you could get around the issue of

the odd count but for today's design we

have just an even count of 12 warp

strands so once you have that knot tied

i actually just did a third

knot just for just for extra strong you

can go ahead and trim

that so oops sorry about that a little

loud so trim free from the um spool and

you'll have something that looks like

that so i like to take the tassel maker

which now comes with your earring looms

um and bring that up and under so let me

show you from the side what i'm doing

just bring it in like that and turn it

this and that gives you tight tension on

the earring loom it's optional but

really cool and then go ahead and start

with you probably won't need more than

about 45 inches of beading thread

that's

plenty and so i've cut that

here and i'm threading my beading needle

this is a size 10 beading

needle folding over just a little bit of

that and now i'm going to bring my

needle under the warps and i'm going to

pick up row one from the pattern which

is three beads of color a

three four and five of the

golden and then it's going to be three

of these and i have these in the wrong

order it's a b c and d i should probably

move

those slide it down until you have left

a tail that's at least 7 in long i go

for about 7 to 10 in usually or

tails and then right before you bring it

up and underneath the warps which is

where we're headed if you'd like to

stabilize your work you can go back

through the beads let me just bring

those all down i usually just take my

needle and just run it back through the

beads just to have something to hold

them you can do that with the needle

you're working with or with a separate

one it doesn't matter then just bring

that up and under those warp

strands if you have any that didn't

quite make it where they're supposed to

be just fix

that and get those to fit just like that

and you can take that needle right out

so working with your eye side now the

eye side of your needle go back through

those beads staying above the warp

strand bring that

through and you'll have something that

looks like that

i'm just going to locate my bead scooper

i have a little beetleon bead scooper

here i love these and just going to

shove this down just a little bit let's

work the next

rows and right now what i'm doing is i'm

just getting the tail thread into

position you want to get that tail

thread out of the way just point that

the other

direction so it doesn't get tangled up

in your work and go ahead and put on row

two

there's 4 a 1

b 1

c b and 4

a and again apologies about those being

flipped i think i just was just pulling

them out in order of how they were

stacked in my little box

here and here you probably don't need to

bring the needle back through you can if

you want as a way to stabilize it but

once you've got a row on i find it

usually can be done just by pushing

those beads

up and then we'll just get our needle

right back through

it again staying over those warp

strands there it goes looking really

good and this whole one is all the gold

color

five and six 7 8 9 10

11 so let's just work the whole pattern

together why not and we'll just start

adding our rows and we can watch it all

just kind of pop in place should be

pretty fun

there we go start to finish 15 minutes

not bad

eh all right

there it is okay so that's all done

let's pop out the tension um you know

aid there and i'm going to go ahead and

get my flush cutters back flip over my

loom and i'm going to free just this

knotted side so the the part where we

did our

knot just so i can free these

threads and if they don't immediately

like come loose you can trim them one

more time here at the top

but you just want to free the first

one and last one right so you'll have

these two

free and the others um are going to

still be looped around the comb on your

loom all you got to do there is just go

pop falls right off all right and so

ignore the wefting threads for now

that's tail and working just hold those

aside grab one of your ends whichever

end you like doesn't matter and begin to

pull and when you pull this little loop

will come right

up just like that pull the next one

down watching that loop here at the top

watch it come all the way

down just hug that bead same

here same thing again

and if any of them are trapped like this

one just it's pulling its thread a

little you actually take your

needle and just go like that and free

it and then resume pulling that

strand and let's just keep going like

that

and here i want to make sure i pulled

the right one here we go

[Music]

last

one happy happy all

right starting with the one i've got my

needle on still which is my working left

this one right here jumping over the

warp

strand this is the warp

strand that runs the

side where's my

thread thread appears to be on this side

of it so i'm going to jump over and go

through the

beads there we go pops right in place

needle under the

left hop over that work

do that one more

time and let's trim that

one also a left this is our weft tail

jump over that warp on the edge head

through some

beads head under some

weft go through a row

oops there we

go enter

okay short warp

strand so running this way you want to

go over the

bead under some left right here on the

edge

and move over here a little bit there we

go down to one

we're going to use this one to pop a

little loop on for our ear

wire and again it's a warp strand so

we're going to go over the

bead and then we'll

go under a couple of the left

there just to get us in place where we

want to be

going and then head through some

beads aim for one of the three middle

gold ones

here head up and up by using those

weft to travel see

them string one

two

three and four beads like

that jump over one 2 3 and go down

through one

two three there we

go just a tiny little loop there at the

top and what you could do here is go

through one

bead and head back up this way

and go through the

bead and it's going to make it go in a

nice little pop like that isn't that

cute keep

going through the next

two and from here go down

through the other side of that bead you

can either do that by picking up the

weft or by going through that bead

whichever is easier for

you so now i have this little

loops and i'm just going to go ahead and

reinforce that one time

and there we go so go ahead and weave in

let's go through some beads

go under some left to take us into a

different area where we've got a little

less stuff going through

beads oops it's catching my tools there

there we go

and there we

go all we have left to do is pop on an

ear

wire and grab our ear wire

here and if you have a side you like

more make that the front doesn't really

matter should be the same roundabouts on

both

sides there it is so let's repeat make

our second earring and we're all set
