How To Make Colorful Beaded Earrings At Home!
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
like
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
next
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
