Transcript:

hey everyone thank you for tuning in for

um this month's bonus earrings for the

creative Soul um looming workshops and

kits so today's uh project is going to

be worked with the earring Loom and so

these are sold in pairs and the link

will be in the description for where you

can get them um and they are perfect for

earrings just like the perfect size and

I'm going to be using the beads from

February's creative Soul I'm going be

using the thread from from February

creative soul and a few other things

that I'll have out are things like

beading needle um toward the end I'm

going to be using an ear wire and jump

rings and then some tools to do that

stuff with but in general you'll just

need that and some thread scissors and

that's everything you need um let's dive

into how to make these gorgeous

earrings to get started let's put 10

warps onto our micro tiny wisdom Warrior

the earring

Loom and so you're going to want to

start

with

the and sorry my thread's getting right

down to the middle here but you're going

to want to start with an end from

working from your spool and go ahead and

tie a double

knot onto the little Notch that you see

there so there's our double knot and now

we're just going to bring our spool side

thread underneath and up and through the

Combs on the

loom down across the bottom

Combs and you want to cross underneath

the back comb here and if you use your

thumbnail or your fingernail you can

kind of guide the thread up through the

comb and catch the next one here

just like

that and you'll repeat that on this

side just going to get that tail thread

out of the way

there and so just carry on like that

until you have a total of 10 warp

threads and once you've got your 10 10

warp threads bring that extra thread

over and wrap it around a few

times and then I'm going to go ahead and

tie a double knot onto that Notch and

the best way to do that is either use

your tail thread now I already trimmed

my tail thread because it was getting in

the way you can use your tail thread to

tie to in fact I usually do that but

this time for some reason I trimmed it

um but what I'm going to do here is just

cut the

bread free there and bring it up through

that Loop that I'm

holding there we go and I might repeat

that one more time

there we go so whichever way you get

there just get those 10 warps on there

and you'll need to tie the extra thread

that you've got I'm going to trim that

tail again just because it really does

tend to get in the way while you're

working all right so let's get started

with our

looming all right and so I've got my

loom warped with 10 warps and I've got

my beads ready to start looming I've put

them onto my mat in order of the pattern

um go ahead and bring a wingspan of

thread um off of the spool and cut it

and thread your needle a wingspan about

65 in or so and then bring your needle

underneath the warp

threads and the warp threads are just

the ones here on the loom and the thread

that we're working with here is often

referred to as the weft thread so I'm

going to string 2 a this is just the

first row of the pattern in this

case but so there's my first

row stringing that down and then just

for the first row just to get started

what I usually do is bring the needle

back through those beads as a way to

stabilize them while I work them

underneath they should sit nice and

tightly

there and then go ahead and work work

with your ey side to prevent puncturing

these warp threads bring your needle

back through the be

staying above the warps on this return

trip and then go ahead and do a slide

test you can use a business card a bead

scooper just make sure you can slide

it and so this is my tail thread here

and I would recommend leaving about

seven inches for

that let's do the next row together and

bring your needle under the

warps and I'm going a string

the next

row there we

go slide that

down and just bring that needle back

through

through all

right so that's how how you do the the

looming part of this

design if for any reason you feel like

your tension on your warp threads is too

loose um you can tighten it up using the

tassel maker if you bring the tassel

maker

under and prop it up on the side it

looks like this from the side

that can make your warps tighter if you

feel like it needs it I didn't feel like

this one needed it as much but I often

do feel like I need to add that so I

just wanted to share that that's an

option and so I'm going to complete the

pattern here and then we'll do the next

steps

together all right and so here is the

finished loomed piece and it works up

really quickly because it's just a nice

little short

pattern and so we're just going to

remove it from the loom

you will need to trim the knot part just

the knot part don't cut the other

threads but just this part that is

knotted here on the

side and free

that looks like I just need to free this

one other little side here it's my first

one there we

go so when you do that when you cut the

knot essentially what it will do is it

will free these first two sides for you

so this one and that one and then to

remove the others just take your

thumbnail and push those threads off of

the

comb it'll just fall off the other

side and now you'll have your beautiful

Loom piece

here and it doesn't really have a front

or a back or a top or a

bottom um so whichever direction you'd

like to lay it out is fine and we're

just going to pull in the warp threads

it won't take very long and since we

worked with the eye of our needle it

should work really well so usually what

I do is I'll start with some chain no

pliers when the threads are really short

sometimes you don't need it sometimes

you can just pull with your fingers show

you what I mean so just pulling yeah

actually it's it's nice and

loose but when they're short down here

like this when you have to kind of get

your fingers in it's easier with a pair

of pliers to just

pull so you want to

start with One Direction so in this case

I went and I pulled the up

Direction and so my next one is to pull

down so now I'm going to pull up and

we're going to do this all the way to

the end and as you work this the loops

will get longer and they might try to

pull their friends along so you have to

help read the other Loops from it so you

just want to isolate one Loop like

that and when you pull it will just hug

the bottom of that

bead and so on so just keep going like

that until you've pulled in all of your

warps all right so we've got all of

those warps pulled in I'm going to bring

my camera down a little bit here so that

you got a little bit better view so

we're starting to do some tiny things um

on your design currently you're going to

have two long strands and two short ones

you can start by weaving in the two

short

ones and you may not need both of the

long ones but I keep them till the end

just in case um because sometimes you

might have a little more or less we left

than I perh perhaps have but for sure

you're going to have a really long warp

strand oh and what I'm doing here is um

so this thread was the tail of our WFT

thread the thread we started looming

with and it's exiting from a bead that's

how you can tell and you can see how

it's kind of on one side of the warp

what I like to do to get started weaving

in is I'll jump over that warp and go

back through the bead and that way I

don't lose that

row and so what you see here is it's

about to hug that

thread so just like

that and so that's what we're going

for and then you can just weave by going

under the weft threads in the

piece so just go

underneath go through some

beads and repeat that about once or

twice more and then trim your

thread all right and so my other short

strand is a warp strand it's the very

first one that I pulled and so it ended

up remaining pretty short all right so

it just thread that thread the needle

with the the remaining warp thre you can

see it's pretty short so but it is a

warp strand meaning it is actually the

Strand that is running all along

here so we can't go back through a bead

or what will happen is it will loosen

this top row so what you want to do is

go over the edge bead and then through

the rest of the

row or at least through some of those

beads in that row I usually

go through a few and then start doing

that same process for weaving in which

is where you just kind of pick up one

two just try to grab three of those

little

ws and always pretty gentle tension with

this um this type of weaving in go

through a few beads in the

row and repeat that

and then go ahead and trim

that and so now what we have left are

these pretty long strands this is my

leftover warp and it's it's got some

pretty good length on it which will

probably more than be enough for my

Fringe I'm going to set it aside for now

I've still got my needle on my left and

I'm going to bring that into the work

here and use it to create the loop for

our ear wire and this is kind of a

creative way to do it it's a hidden Loop

it sits on the back and it just kind of

tucks away a little jump ring that you

can attach your ear wire to and so from

the front as you're wearing the earring

all you see is this little peak of metal

and so that's kind of a cool look right

let me show you how to do it you want to

basically take the if you're working

with your W you will need to jump over

the warp and go back into the

row if it's a warp jump over the bead

and go into the row

and in either case bring your thread to

exit from one of the three beads I kind

of just I overshoot the first one and

then go

to the uh further further away of the

three that are in the center we're going

to square stitch two three sorry three

rows onto those three and I just match

the colors so let me pull this away

really

quick your thread will be exiting from

that bead and just matching the color go

ahead and pick up a color

B and note that your thread's coming out

of the position kind of on top of the

bead so I'm going to pick up another

bead and go through it from the

bottom which just is going in a circle

right and so this is square stitch it's

going to sit

it's going to sit like that for a minute

not super tight yet but don't sweat

that and go back through that

bead all right and now pick up another

bead I'm matching the color C that it's

adjacent

to and then go through that bead

[Music]

from the side that's toward you going

out away from

you see it's going to sit just like that

and there we go and one more we're going

to match color B

again and just make sure that thread

stays on the top

side and so far we've got that now

reinforce it by going back

through all three of those beads right

there and then go ahead and go through

these three

again and that completes a row of square

stitch let's do that again two more

times to create our little fold over

button that we're going to use for

putting our ear wire

on so again I just grabbed a color B

looped through the bead that's adjacent

to it here's a color C

going just through that

bead and up through the

bead color

B down through just the

be pull tight and then head up through

that color

oops there you go it's going to try to

pull in all of its friends they always

that so there's another row of square

stitch complete go ahead and reinforce

that go through all

three and go through the three you just

add

in let's repeat that one more

time there's

one and

here's

two so you see we just Loop through keep

that keep that thread top

side so it doesn't hug the entire um

little section we're creating

right and there we go another row just

like that Loop

through and loop

through okay and so this design doesn't

have a front or a back so really doesn't

matter which side you choose can just

fold it

over I think I'll fold over this

[Music]

way so this will now become the back

side of the

earring and once you do this step you've

kind of identified which is the reverse

side of it and then what you'll want to

do to connect it here at the back is

notice how we created three rows so

we're just going to count down three

rows one two 3 and I'm going to go

through the first bead that corresponds

with the center three in that

row pull that

tight and now go back

through that bead so you see we're

Square stitching again but we're

treating the new

bead as this one we created so that

joins those two that go back through

this bead and Carry On Through the next

one

and now we're just going to go through

the C color C in the

middle and then head back

through the middle bead and the next

one pull tight keep that tail out of the

way there we go and now last but not

least we'll just join this Edge

bead and bring it through just that

one so now you've connected that section

back there you see how you can get a

jump ring through that pretty cool

reinforce that one time by going through

that

row and going through this

row all

right and from here go through another

bead or

two I got through

one and weave in here on the reverse

side using the same method we were using

before where you just pick up a few left

thread I usually go through three rows

like that make a turn head through a

few I hit my L my lamp above

me there we

go and so just like

that and given how how much this is

supporting I might do that one more

time now I have a lot of thread left

here on this strand

so what I might do with this strand is I

might take it down to the bottom so let

me show show you where we're going

next the next thing we're going to do is

with whichever strand you have that's

long so I'm currently weaving in

somewhere around here I'm going to just

bring it down here and we're going to

add Fringe strands on the bottom

center five of

them so you'll have one two three four

five and so that's going to leave these

two Edge ones

unworked for this cool little almost

tassel looking

centered little thing of

Fringe so let's carry on and bring the

thread down to meet

that all right and so I've just used

that weft traveling method to bring my

thread down

here and ignoring the first two beads of

the row you want to go through the next

one in from The Edge so the third in

from either Edge doesn't matter which

one you start and now we're going to

string a fringe pattern and that Fringe

pattern is it's pretty much up to you if

you like what I did I started with five

of the color B and that's the color I'm

exiting and then I did three color C and

this will all be in the pattern too and

then I went one two one two with colors

d and

e and then I decided for three of the

bright hot pink color a as the middle

and then just string that out in

Reverse to meet the um make the pattern

symmetrical so far so good and then

we're going to put five color B at the

bottom and here's how to do that little

that little kind of I did this for a

weight it's kind of like a little

blossom but so I see how I've got five

here the bottom what I'm going to do now

is I'm going to pick up three more color

B two and three and I'm going to skip

the last three of those

five and then I'm going to go back

through all of those I'm and to bring my

thread all the way up to meet the

work and try not to skip any of those

beads that you're going

through there we go

and just kind of you know get the

tension right and then you'll notice how

when we started this Fring strand we

were exiting from this side of that

third bead we went through it so now all

you got to do is go through that third

bead from the opposite

side and when you do

that it's going to hug that bottom bead

with the Fring Strand and in the same

motion go ahead and Carry On Through the

next bead in your row

and so you see it's just going to hug

that Center you can almost kind of see

it if I loosen the tension that's the

goal with every bead now that we're

going to be hugging we're going to

string a strand and then come back

through in the top Direction and head

through the next

one so carry on like that when we get to

the middle strand the pattern is just a

little bit of reversed it'll be in your

pattern but I just matched the color I

was exiting and just swapped color C for

color B

all right and so I've gotten down to my

last little set

here let's head back through all of

those and usually when I reach the work

here at the top I'll pull The Fringe

through but then what I'll do before I

go through the bead is just kind of hold

everything tight get it to hug the

bottom of that bead and then again I'm

going to go through that bead from the

opposite direction that the thread is

exitting so that it will hug

it and now my Fringe is done so all I

have left to do is weave in and then put

our earring Hardware onto the top of the

earring all right so let's get some

chain nose pliers and um I have a jump

ring here that I think is about 6 millim

it's just from my stash any any jump

ring is fine in fact 8 mm 6 mm I think

the only thing that wouldn't work is if

you want smaller like 4 MIM would

probably be too small but just test it

you'll have something and go ahead and

bring

your bring your jump

ring through that Loop that we've

created and my 6 mm is a tight fit but

it actually is going to look really cool

and I recall when I was setting up my

last

one maybe switching sides to kind of get

it around the thread you don't want it

to poke the thread just be careful of

that

get it to come

through so you see I've got it through

that if you're working with 6 mm it's

like the tightest fit um but the result

is really neat looking so kind of worth

it and I'm just going to wiggle these

and work them so that they're nice and

connected and there you see what happens

it just looks like it's part of the top

of the earring which I really dig and

I'm just going to open the ear

wire and pop that

oops there we

go so there's our super sassy Earrings

made with our February palette from

creative Soul or

julum all right let's see how these look

so I am trying them on for the first

time let see how they

look and apologies all my my bright

lights are in the way here but all right

so these are so cool and these are going

to become some of my new favorites I say

that every time I make an earring and

put them on but I mean it every time

they're so pretty they're so cute so um

yeah I'm just going to wear these rest

of the day why not they kind of match

what I'm weing so yeah I hope you loved

this project I hope that you will um
