MASTERING Beaded Wrap Bracelets with the Beadalon Jewel Loom

November 08, 2024

Do you know you can actually make a beaded wrap bracelet with Beadalon's Original Jewel Loom? Learn the tips & tricks on how to make them with Julianna C Avelar (Jewels), the creator of the Jewel Looms & international designer & innovator. Her clever techniques & tips will have you making a wrap bracelet in no time! Below are the videos on how to warp the loom & weave the full length on the Jewel Loom, plus some tips on how to extend your bracelet to a longer length, if you need more than 21".

Watch how to warp the loom below.

Learn how to weave the beads & adjust the warps as you need more beading area.

If you need a bracelet more than 21', because you want it to wrap around 3 times & have a larger than 7" wrist, here are some suggestions. For these suggestions to work, you will need to leave longer lengths of cord ends for your warps to create the "extenstion". You will need to remove the bracelet project from the Jewel Loom to finish these suggestions. Once you acheive the length you want, you can add on your button.

Use larger hole beads to slide over the extra length of warp cords, putting both ends through each bead. To decorate this extension more, you can tie knots between each bead or use spacer beads between these beads.
Decorate the extra warp cords you need with macrame square knots or half hitch knots, using waxed cord or chinese knotting cord.. You can either do the macrame around beads you put on the extra length warp threads, or just macrame over the warp threads with more beads. To give this macrame section more decoration, use small seed beads, such as 11/0 or 15/0, on the cords you are doing the macrame with & slide up a bead between every knot or three knots, depending on the look you want to acheive.
Add a barrel knot over the cords you are using to make a button loop, if you are using a large button like the one Jewels is using. You can then slide it down to close up the loop, so the button hole is tight around the button.
If your cords get too short before getting the length you want, leave enough to tie the ends over a closed jumpring, then tying another length of cord (in another color or material) to the other side of the jumpring for your button. You could also add some more beads or macrame to the new cord, if you haven't reached the length needed yet. Hang a charm from the jumpring to make it look intentional.

Transcript Video 1:

I am going to show you well we're going

to get started anyway on how to make a

beaded wrapped

bracelet multi-

wrap

using the jewel loom the original Beeton

jewel loom I'm so excited about this

project I was blessed with an email from

Moren who is a jewel loom customer

a jewelry designer and she makes her

jewelry for sale and she really wants to

be able to use the original jewel loom

to make a wrap bracelet now wrap

bracelets are long and the jewel loom is

great for bracelets and we've made many

of them on here but it only has a

beading area of about 10 in or so and I

knew we had had made a WRA bracelet many

years ago in fact Judy Hayes who was on

the jewel loom design team actually

wrote instructions in everything for

it don't know where they

are and so I said to Moren I was like

you know what let me think about it

it'll come back to me and so it did and

I thought you know what we'll we'll get

ready today we'll set up our Loom talk

about the materials and then this

Thursday we'll do we'll go to the next

level we will at find my words where we

will bead

our wrapped bracelet and so we're so

excited about it now what you're going

to need is some cord now Moren

specifically said she wanted to use

05 leather or a 05 hemp cord that is

thin all right so it's a lot thinner

usually I usually warp with like a 1 mm

of leather or of hemp cord it's all a

personal choice there's not a right or a

wrong it's just that with the 1 mm hemp

cord or leather it's going to be

thicker so it's it's more of a choice

okay so I am going to be using 0 five

hemp cord so if you're going to be set

up your loom you're going to want

66 66

in of hemp cord and yes you are going to

want to cut it so you won't be working

off of the spool or um off of you know

yeah off of the spool you'll want to cut

66 in of hemp cord or leather if it's

your first time doing this I'm highly

going to recommend that you stick with

hemp cord or something else because

leather you really it's very fine and

very delicate and 0 five is super

delicate so let's do that okay I ended

up using four strands of beads these are

little six U millim Bic cones they're

just gorgeous pink beads each strand has

25 so that makes a 100

beads I had one left okay so one one

left out of those hundred so 99 beads

wait isn't that a

song don't sing it don't sing

it all right so so the cord the beads

the original jewel loom um I also use

pink Wildfire it's so precious and

beautiful and of course my jewel loom

needle so you don't have to you don't

have to use a Jew Loom needle you can

use a a needle that works well for you

and your normal tools like your

scissors the Wildfire burner you know I

really enjoy using this a lot when I'm

working with

Wildfire um I said

scissors here's the thing you are going

to need so you might got you might have

to go out into the garage or run to your

hardware store painters

tape okay so traditionally it's blue but

you could probably find it in any color

and quite frankly it doesn't matter what

color it is what matters is that it's

removable right so it's not like um duct

tape you're never removing duct tape so

make sure that you get a painters tape

that's removable it doesn't matter what

cover it's just how we're going to hold

things in place all right so my original

jewel loom is is

all to

go in this

project we are going to be leaving the

metal rod in we are not removing it so

9.99 times out of 10 we do remove it but

for this project we are not removing the

metal rod so you're going to want to

leave it in now I already have

have I already have my 66

in I'm giggling because I I was like

how' I come up with that but that's what

it is so I've got the two ends and I'm

just going to show you right so here are

ends and then this is where okay this is

this is the long piece I've got my ends

and I'm going to

take we'll say that this is the top and

we'll say this is the bottom okay so I'm

going to take the completed looped in

and it's really important that

everything

stay

um nice and even those are the words I'm

looking for nice and even okay so here's

the

bottom and again here's the jewel

loom let's just give you some idea of

how my body and what hand is what uh

right hand is holding right now the cord

left hand is holding the uh jewel loom

and I'm pretty much in front of my

working

space I'm in front of the jewel

loom and I'm in front of the camera

hi and so what we're going to do is

we're going to take the jewel loom and

we're turning it over and you might know

this you might not I mean I kind of

think it's easy to know but hey who

knows this is the back side of the jewel

loom okay you see the two two buttons

this is the back side of the jewel loom

if I were to turn it over with all the

engraving on here that would be the

front side we're going to start from the

back of the jewel

loom and the way I'm going to do this

now is this button

is furthest away from my body so it's

closer to you than it is to

me and I'm going to take that end where

that constant Loop is right the bottom

of the

cord and I'm going to put that on the

back button that is furthest from me all

right so now this back button is

furthest from my body this is my

body all right and then what I'm going

do and obviously when you're not

teaching this on

air okay you're going to be down on the

table right and you're going to be doing

it in your own

Rhythm but still

learn how I'm doing it because this part

is important all right so the loop once

again right the bottom end of the chord

went around this back button furthest

from my body and now I can take my

pointer just to keep it in place and I'm

going to

grab the

cord and you could see that I'm bringing

it down the back side of the jewel loom

so this is still the back side of the

jewel

loom okay and then we can walk our hands

down and we're definitely keeping it

nice and

taut and we're going to be using the 6

mm Bic cone so we need to have a good

one two

three grooves that we're going to

skip and then we're going to flip the

jewel loom

over so now see this is the front so now

its back side is facing

you and the front side of the jewel loom

is facing me all right and then we're

just going

to lay those lay the cords down again

into the

grooves skipping three grooves at the

bottom there let me bring that

up and then we're going to flip it over

again okay and now we're at the opposite

button

and we're going to wrap the two ends of

the

cord around the

button a few times just to really get it

in there the cool thing about working

with cord especially the hemp cord is

that it's so strong and when you're

wrapping it around the button it's like

it's locking into each other and so you

don't um I just I just love that because

then you're not so stressed out about

tying knots and what have you so I'll

just go around a couple of

times and then this is where the

painters tape comes in because we're not

tying

knots no

knots unless you think you can get them

untied

but sometimes that's iffy all right so

no knots so this is where I would bring

my painters tape and you can see that

the entire time right the entire time

I'm really keeping tension and I'm just

going to come in here with the painters

tape and I'm going to secure

that all right

now let me see I might do another one

hold on one second

here yeah just to make sure it's all not

nice nice and tight so when we go to

bead one of the most important things to

remember is to

start in the right

direction and you can see this was our

original Loop and then we went all the

way up to the top and we came over and

so we're going to want to start our

beading with that original loop at the

bottom okay so this is going to be the

top and then we're going to bead all the

way

down and then when we get all the way

down here we're going to remove it and

we're going to do this together so don't

start beating I just want you to play

around with the idea of the

warps so that you

get the hang of it it's not really all

that

hard I kind of feel like if you could

say could you do that again you would

you want me to do it again because I

can let's take the painter tape off so

you could see why it's important to have

like painters tape right cuz it

literally just it just comes off okay

so let's just undo we're just going to

undo it

and we'll start we'll start over we're

going to do it again just to make sure

that there's a there's an understanding

so 66 in of

cord I've folded it in

half in my right hand are the two opened

ends right two opened

ends and in my left now now is the

bottom where that little Loop is

okay so I'm going to grab that with my

right hand I've got the jewel loom

already in the warp position with the

rod which once again we're not going to

be removing that metal rod it's going to

stay in during the entire

process so backside of the jewel

loom okay back side of the jewel loom

it's in front of my

body the buttons are on the back side of

the jewel loom they're facing up to the

sky this to the roof to the sky to the

heavens this button is furthest away

from my body all right so the button is

closer to you in the in the screen right

now and that is where I am going to put

the end of the cord the looped part

and so we're going

to put it on the back button there and

then we can bring in my left hand and

I'm always working with my hands left

right brain and it's just the way this

all works you might do this differently

so just watch me and then if you can get

to where we're going in a different way

then that's fine um but I've got my my

right hand now

[Music]

grabbing grabbing the

cord and I'm working down the back side

of the jewel

loom and I'm just going

to see how the cord is just on the sides

of the bottom button and now it's going

to come up and over the grid and I want

to skip like three three grooves to

accommodate the 6 mm Bic cone bead and

then we'll flip the jewel

loom okay and now the front of the jewel

loom is facing my body all right and I'm

just I I'm always keeping I'm it's you

know it's a very

tight tight grip right so I don't want

to lose that tension so then I'm going

to come down

here and I'm going to skip the three

groups

again and then I'm going to flip the

jewel

loom over and then I'm going to wrap the

hemp cord

around this button right here and I

could just do it a few times like I was

saying the hemp cord is so cool to work

with by the way it's by hemptique my

favorite it's sustainable familyowned

love the company amazing color selection

this is their pink and it's beautiful so

I'm just going to do that one more time

I'm going to wrap around this back

button and then I'm going to bring

in bring in the painters tape that has

found each

other and we're just going to get that

place okay just to hold it because we're

not doing knots we're not removing the

metal Rod so we have to have some way to

keep everything in

position

okay so that's how we're going to warp

the loom in order

to make our wrapped

bracelet and again this process is going

to make here's another one isn't this

gorgeous this is going to make a 21 in

Long wrapped bracelet

I have a 6in wrist and this has gone

around my

wrist three times all

right they're just and you have to wear

more than

one I don't think you can get away with

not wearing more than

one so if you have a wrist that is um

maybe a little bigger you're probably

going to end up with like um your

your wrapped bracelet going around maybe

only

twice okay but look it oh my gosh

seriously look how fun it is when you

have two of them

on love love love that and I mean I had

to sorry but I had to I had to bring in

a sparkle

ring they kind of all go together right

shiny wrapped bracelets so fun yes Karen

I love all the colors together too so

that is what I want you to work on I

just want you to play with the idea now

this was a a specific request from

Moren one of our New York girl I love

New

York um because I'm also a Jersey girl

right part Jersey part California girl

so New York's always got a

spot but um yeah Moren jewelry designer

selling

her items I'm so proud of you and she's

not quite ready to go into one of the

bigger looms like you could do this on

the large Sun Weaver in one pass you

could do this on the large wisdom

warrior in you know just on the front of

those looms but that's going into

another investment so until you're ready

to do that it's so awesome to know that

you can use the original jewel loom to

make the longer

pieces I was also speaking to somebody

um online in regards to the hat band

kits and so you know you can downsize

those if you don't have a large wisdom

Warrior to make a bracelet to make

earrings um or you know before the large

wisdom Warrior came

along Mama she's a Powerhouse let me

tell you so we were making pieces and

sewing them together

so the original beet on jewel loom does

a lot it does a lot she's pretty cool if

I don't say so myself so I truly hope

that this helped um this is Sneak Peek

Tuesday I will be back on Thursday um to

get into the demo make the bracelet it

took

me an hour to make my bra

bracelet and uh that was consistent

consistent beading and so I think that

once you get your Rhythm down and you're

not trying to tape

something um and fuss with stuff you're

going to be at least at an hour if not

maybe a little less so there's going to

be a great margin in this if you are a

jewelry designer who's making items to

sell and and now is the time right the

holidays are upon us and and people are

looking so super excited for everyone

and Moren yay my heart is happy she says

beautiful exactly what I was looking for

thank

you I was so determined Morin like

seriously since I got your email I have

just been like what was the visual what

was the visual now I know that Judy

used um clothes

pins I do remember remember a photo and

somehow I feel like she did something

around the side buttons and then did

some clothes pens and and if she sees

this maybe she'll let me know but um but

I think that this just works perfectly

and you know I will be beating and then

we'll take the tape off and readjust and

beat the rest and call it a day so

anyway I love it I'm so happy that you

found the channel Moren and that you got

what you were looking for I'm really

excited to see what you make and I'll

see

everybody on Thursday at 400 pm. Pacific

Standard time which is California 700

p.m. New York time and um yeah okay one

last thing where says now I can't wait

until Thursday I've got a lot of holiday

parties coming up and the ladies love to

craft thank you that's so awesome yeah

yes and the jewel loom the original

jewel loom is a p Perfect Price Point um

to get into weaving so the full retail

on a jewel loom just by itself is

$33.99 you'll probably see different

prices you know all over the interwebs

but um such a great price such a great

value always remember that the jewel

loom is made out of

a flexible plastic not a bendable one so

you always need to be con conscious of

that and this is the perfect warp

remember from the bottom belly to the

top of the warp about 2 in if your loom

is up any tighter you have just done it

way too

much all right y'all have a great

evening I will see you um in a couple of

days I'm so excited and by the way

there's I just uploaded another

video in relationship to in relationship

in relation to in is that the right

where where's my English teacher I'm

sure somebody will jump out and tell me

anyway it's another video showing you

how to how to warp the jewel loom to

accommodate um different sizes and types

of beads and so that's actually going

live at 5:00 Califoria California time

that's a recording so not me just a

recording so have a beautifully blessed

evening and I will see you all again

soon love

you I have no

idea this is too funny now what do we do

there's literally nothing that says

end oh my gosh this is hysterical this

is true behind the scenes I'm going to

touch this one button and I hope it

works let's see what happens

Transcript Video 2:

so I'm really excited to share with you how to actually make the wrap

bracelet as you can see here it's quite long usually a wrap bracelet is 21 in

plus and so it's the type of bracelet that will wrap around your wrist

multiple times with this particular wrap I used a check glass

bead and it's in a Bic cone type of shape and what I wanted to show you was

how you can use a leather cord and some semi-precious

gemstones and all of this is being done on the original beon jewel loom which

I'm so excited about it really uh just shows you what a Powerhouse

of a loom the jewel loom is so this Loom has already been warped

and I will definitely make sure that you have the link to that video on how to

warp your loom and as you can tell I've already done the beading on the top of

the Loom now I ended up way down here so I really took advantage of the entire

just about 10 10 in or so let's let's do a quick

measure for you I always like to have a sewing tape measure tape around and oh

actually actually it's 10 and 1 12 in that I was able to to bead so then

basically we would need another 10 in if we were going to make a 21 in Long

wrapped bracelet so what we need to do right now is I want to secure the

needle and um thread which by the way let me show you what I'm using I'm using

Wildfire so this is the Wildfire green it's the

0.006 and this is the one that I like to use most and this is my jewel loom

needle it's extra long which I really enjoy um you can use a different needle

if you like but this is the one I like now I

really I kind of cut it really close up here because what I was hoping to do oh

did I do it so what I want to do is I want to get my needle back through back through that last

bead but I want it to be under the warps and I might just yeah I I was in I was

overzealous I should have stopped with the lighter color bead right here but I was like oh let me just get one more so

anyway um I don't know let me see for Giggles so again what I'm trying to do

is I'm trying to get the be I'm trying to get the needle to be under the warp but I don't think it's going to happen

and the reason why is that this bead is sitting on the grid so again I was just

kind of a little overzealous so what I'm going to do is I'll just come down a row and I'll go through this bead and I'm

just trying to Anchor the extra thread which by the way I just want to point

out a couple things to you um this is my left hand and this is my right hand the

jewel loom is in front of my body and um my mat is also right in front of me so

let's just take the needle and thread and we'll just go back and

forth just to yeah there we go yeah it's like I'm

trying to bead on top of the grid and it's a little challenging you don't have to do that I was just

being has just being a little wild with my my beading there so I don't want to

spend too much time on this because I really want to get to the exciting part where we actually are able to use the

jewel loom that's only 10 and 1 12 in of beating space and turn it into 21 in so

let's just go ahead head and um we'll bring the needle up right here and I will do I'm going to go

through through the loop and I'm just making a knot okay and then I am going to cut it

and I'll come back with my Wildfire burner and I'll get really um close with

that but um when we're just kind of going through things I'm just going to

nip it right there okay so what we have to do this is the top of my

of my loom of my bracelet and we're going to turn this

over and you'll learn all about this taped process when you watch the first

video and we're just unwinding the leather so this is a

leather and we're just going to unwind I want to really show you

what's happening here so here's the wrap right and here's that Loop and we've got

to bring that up now we got to bring it

up to let's see what would we call that we

just got to bring it up to the button to the button that's closest to your body

all right and we're only skipping a couple of grooves this bead is a little bit

smaller so we don't need to skip get about maybe two or three grooves and then I'm going to turn this

over and we're just going to focus on being in the center of our

Loom and I can see that I've got to adjust this a little

bit so you want to make sure all of this is nice and even and I think we did a little

crisscross so let's bring this back so you can see what's going on on this end

as well whoops too

many okay perfect all right and so

now what we're going to do is you see this was that original piece that I just

beaded and we've got to secure it to the back side here so we're just going to

get our tape again we might need a little bit

more so by all means you could use one of the larger looms like the large

wisdom Warrior or the large Sun Weaver but I really um was

inspired by a jewel loom customer to be inspired and challenged to to do it on

the original jewel loom which if you're not ready to to advance into a bigger Loom to a more you

know that's an investment type of loom then this is perfect okay so what I

would say is just remember that you have glass beads back here so you're not going to you don't want to like smush

the loom into your work surface all right so we're just going to come over

here and it is going to be a little you know it's going to it's going to you

know kind of tilt or go back and forth a little bit so you're just going to have to learn how to maneuver the loom when

you're dealing with this being on the back it's it's not like a huge deal so I

don't want you to overthink it I am going to really quick here just want

to yeah create a little knot okay so I have a new needle and

thread i h let's see well I don't know I

might have enough on that original needle but I cut another yard over here

so I think I think this should be plenty to hopefully get down and uh off we go

all right so what we're going to do and I just want to make sure we have a good camera spot here um I want to go ahead

and find the end well I could do a couple of things let me see I could because I got to get

back over here on the left side so I'm going to come through the left side of that second

bead and then I'm just going to pull okay and I want to leave a tell and

then I'm going to come through the next spead on the right side

here oh where oh where is your come on little guy I know you have

a hole okay there you go and then we'll go ahead and pull that

and now we're in business okay so I'm over here on the left side of my loom and I'm going to come under

and I'm just going to start to pick up my beads and you can follow a pattern or

not um again this is a multi- strand gemstone a gemstone multi-

gemstone strand of beads so they're about um I want to say they're closer to

a 5 mm and they're round and they've had a hole

drilled so they're gorgeous you know you've got some lapis and some um

amethyst and some quartz I mean there's just uh several

different types of gemstones and this is where you know

this is where depending on the type of product you're using if you're making these to sell you can definitely charge

more because your stones are going to cost you more and you're going to have a

higher ticket item so again I'm just I've been trying

to follow a little bit of a sequence um so that my colors are spread

out and you could certainly work on you know how you want all your if you do use

like a multi strand you could work on that prior to um beading so let's

see yeah so much

fun so again we're just going back and

forth I think the great thing about using the original jewel loom is that it empowers you to really make um a very

high quality project a very high quality piece of jewelry and you

know you don't have to if you're not ready you don't have to invest a lot of

money yet but hopefully you sell lots of wraps and then you'll be able to grow

into a bigger Loom but um I do love I do love being

empowered by my jewel loom she is quite quite the

loom so you can see like I'm just um balancing the loom because again we've

got like this chunky section of beads back there so it's not necessarily laying flat oh and by the

way just another um I would have mentioned this in the previous video again that I'm going to tag for you um

make sure you leave your metal rod in Okay the reason being is that we're all

taped up right so we need all the security we can have to keep our warp and so we're going to leave our metal

rod in in case you were just sitting there foll in me thinking Jules always tells us to take our metal rod out what

is she doing so that is why and again this is a real leather cord it's 1

millimet uh you can certainly work with a faux leather cord um you know if you

prefer you could work with a hemp cord you could um I I will tell you that

leather cord that is natural in color is going to be

very um temperamental it's it's very you have to be careful not to pull it too

hard or it will break when you have a leather core that's colored like this this is a

turquoise it seems to be more durable and I'm sure that's because the process of coloring versus a natural piece of

leather is just going to have like more sturdiness to it all right I think we're

ready for a Lapis this is a little baby lapis look how cute little baby where you at little baby lapis bead I love

these strands they're really a lot of fun to work

with okay oh he was a little he was a little smaller that's funny well

gemstones gemstones all right what color haven't I let's see I think I could do one of these

so my goal is to just um bead all the way down to the end

here and then I'll be taking the piece off of the Loom um and adding a really

fun button I decided to go with one of my wood buttons that's uh an owl and

I'll have to show it to you here so

see pretty quartz actually that

one that might just be a I love when quartz is kind of dirty looking

I've had some quartz uh Crystal pieces that are just um really

fun because they're not like really white but they're they've got like that

just that kind of dirty shabby we'll call it shabby

they've got like a Shabby Hue to

them okay so B basically you're just constantly going back and forth right

it's just like how we would um you know do any other

beading project on a loom and so we're just popping that up

and then I'm going back through the hole and then you could see how my hands are always working to make sure that

everything is nice and you know uniformed and that there's no excess

Wildfire um yeah got some little Shadow there little bead

Shadow so needle and hand a needle and hand needle and threader and the left hand right here I'm pointing to it and

it comes under the warps transfers over to my right hand and then I'm going to pick up a

bead so let's see once again this is really this is the hardest part picking

out which which bead you want to pick up and then I'm just going to let that fall

and then then I take my pointer finger and I help to bring it up and in

between now a couple of these beads are smaller than than the others but they

all were on the same strand so just keep that in mind because that does that does happen and so if you don't like that you

might want to go through your beads and um through your gemstone beads and and

separate or not use those I'm don't have an issue with it I think it just adds

more more

personality okay and let's see what do we got I know there's this one did I already use it all I don't even it's

like a well that's cool um yeah there's just all kinds of

different different Stones yeah this one was a little bit

smaller so you can see how quickly I was able to you know to go so once you get

your Rhythm once um you know you have your beads

organized yeah I was able to do a bracelet and under an hour you know I

would give myself a good hour so you have to think about um your hour ear L

rate and then your materials costs and then you know a lot of it too is about

the area that you're in you know every every Community every County and a state

can be different every state from State could be different like it just you need to know your clientele

right um but you want to pay yourself correctly so I would say you you need to

really think about your hourly rate and um the cost of goods

and the cool thing with the jewel loom is that you're not going to have a lot of money invested into your tool and

so again once you get your Rhythm down I mean I have seen these wrap bracelets

just depending on the quality of the materials I mean definitely have seen them as much as a um you know

$150 just depending on the size of the gemstones and you know the quality of

the leather and um so you know and and you don't if you're

not selling stuff you know if you're not making things to sell then my goodness

what great gifts can you even imagine like if this is what you were giving your friends and family for the holidays

oh my gosh or your favorite teacher at the end of the school year um you know your

girlfriends I mean my goodness the these would just be people would be so

incredibly delighted to to get this as a gift all right where are we getting

we're getting down to like what is next okay that's cool let me see if I can get

this guy on my it's almost like like their little

hole disappears come on buddy where are you oh my heck I know you let's see oh

oh I've had a couple of them jump out of my hand already because they're tiny let's see there we go we'll do that

one you certainly could use bigger beads by all means you know and so you just

what you're going to do is you're going to take your bead and you're going to put it up to the grid right and then that determines how many grooves you're

going to skip which then determine you know where you're going to place your

cords so you definitely have just a lot lot of

options but again I think the cool thing was

having having the challenge of can a wrap multi- wrap bracelet be made on the

jewel loom and then figuring it out

and and um saying well yes yes

can all right so keep checking along

here and again I want to say that this is more close to a 5

mm um definitely not six so it is a it

is smaller so when you have a smaller bead it can take a little bit longer because you're you're just you're

beading more beads right so if you had like big 9 by9

squares check glass you know floral squares for instance that probably would

go a lot quicker right I mean you could even do like a two-hole um beaded

bracelet I mean they're just there's so so many so many options

oops and because the jewel loom is so portable and lightweight this is a perfect thing that um got little Dancy

things going on over here let me get this out of the way whoops I was like what is that noise

it's it's the uh there we go the earphone thingy

they were like doing a little Jingle All right so

what what haven't we done here oh we could do a light purple bead let's do

that okay bring this up so you could see I've got like I don't know what 4 inches

or something left to

do and okay [Music] okay I still want to get that guy and I

cannot see come on buddy I'm I'm going to get you there we

go there we go yes do we talk to our beads yes we

talk to our beads they're little bead buddies okay

so I feel like I could do like this dark blue this is gorgeous

so it's a real repetitive um motion you know I've I've also done wrap

bracelets where I have warped the loom to accommodate

different styles and sizes and shapes of beads so you can really take this o

that's a tiger's eye um um let me got all excited I love me tiger's eye super

cool um what was I saying see I got all excited by a bead doesn't take much with

me uh what was I say okay yes you can you can set up your warps to accommodate

um different different size and styled beads and really have quite quite the uh

wrap bracelet

and these are always fun to layer like I like to wear I like to wear a

um a wrap with another

bracelet so okay where we at maybe something like this

guy I think we could do this guy come on this is like a rose quartz

it's just the funniest thing trying to find that little

hole and we'll come in I get a

little that's a little Amber or citrine I mean there are so many

I know somebody's yelling back at the camera right now telling me what it is all right

looks like we could do a purple like an

amethyst and again I'm sorry I don't know if I mentioned how many strands so

I Ed two strands I'll show you what the Strand looks like and the length of it so that if you want

to um try to find

and this is from my you know I I get a lot from a company

called Dakota stones and I do believe that you know it's a very popular brand

within the jewelry making industry and um and so you know with that name you

know that these are very very high quality um gemstone beads

and I feel like we could do a little dark something what's that what's going on

here come on oh I have to laugh because it just

cracks me up I know there's there we go I know there's

all and just going back in

coming under and is the time for a blue yeah

let's get one of the this little lapis guy

here y almost there okay what do we need now maybe like a

green my jom is dancing all out of the screen out of the

screen it's excited to be finished com to a home stretch

here and let's see we could go for

and okay um I feel like let's see is there

uh well that would be fine that's

pretty I mean for little beads this is going this is going rather fast

so um I think you could probably imagine then how quickly you

could maybe get one done with bigger beads because a bigger bead's going to take up more space

and but I feel like these little guys are

definitely definitely to L along okay I don't think I've done like a really light colored what do we got going on

here home stretch home stretch what do we how many want to guess what three or four right three or four more

beads um oh purple I don't know if somebody

just screamed that but that's what I got the message let's do the purple one

obviously too if you're doing a single color wrap it's going to be it's going to be most easy right like I did I

showed the the pink one that that went really quick because I didn't have to

make choices I just picked up the beads which is fine like it's totally pretty

and and um you know I could wear another bracelet with it and get like my color

get some more color so oh it looks like maybe two more um

oh sugar okay this is gorgeous let's use this guy come

on and now you got there oh I almost at it where' you go there you

go they're feisty okay

so getting this one up and under

there and I'm just going to stretch my needle out a little bit and I know we

can do at least one more what's going to be our let's

see I guess we could do another blue and then we'll see if we have room

for another bead you know this oh that's a little guy to little ones are

hysterical that's so funny okay well I could now I can

definitely get another one in um um okay final color final color what do

we got what do we got oh this guy is super cool let's put that one up in there hopefully I can get it in

there yep perfect yeah okay

fantastic so yeah that went really quick I think that was less than a half an hour so now we've got see look it now

we've got another right another section and let's see if I can't do what

I wanted to do originally I want to make sure so I like to take the needle and come

under if I can find the stinking where you at there you are

right I don't want to break my needle though okay so I'm under the warps I'm

going back through the hole and I'm going under the warps and this is just a

little thing that I like to do it's um oops s

for it just is a way to Anchor the last bead in and then I'll go back through

the top okay oh I don't want to go through

my leather okay hold on let me get positioned correctly it's like I'm

trying to trying to stand on my head Sho gum and get the needle through this this

bead okay there we go all righty okay oh

don't okay perfect and then what I'm going to do is I'm just going to sneak

up in here oops and come back through this

Loop I'm just going to do it one more time for giggles and like I mentioned earlier I'm

going to cut this but then I'm going to come back with my wild fire burner and and get a lot closer I just don't want

to screw up that would not be good okay let's get our scooper and so so there's

still quite a few beads if you wanted to do like matching earrings you know that's that's a lot

left so I'm going to put these to the side and then I do want to show you the

string again so let me measure that for us and cuz

they sometimes are sold in lengths

so okay what is that looking like 15 in about 15 in long this strand so I use

two of those and again this is about a five 5 millimeter

bead all right so we'll put that to the side put all of this other stuff to the

side we're going to turn this over and very carefully oops take our painters tape off this is

painters tape typically comes in a blue don't want to use like duct tape or

anything okay and then very carefully we're just going

to get that off put the jewel loom to the side it looks like I

got a long one here all right so now we have our two

ends okay and what I want to do with one end

well you know what I'm going to see if I can't okay let's just I got a good okay

I'll do it if I could see it you know what I mean like you don't want to do this and think you can see what you're

doing cuz then it's not going to work out things are not going to end well

so that came right back in my my throat

don't do that okay so I'm just creating like a little n loop

knot this colored leather is a little bit more um shiny so it's a little harder to

now I really want to make sure that I get this knot

right I want to get that as close and as tight and snug to the end as I

can okay now you can certainly use like a

slip knot technique um I'm just going to trim these again

I'm going to do this one I can open up the the door and not have that come back into my

face okay there we go yeah we need to definitely clean that and then I'm just stretching making sure that's all nice

and even and so on this end we're going to put

the um we're going to put the owl I decided to use the little owl button I

just thought with the gemstones and all the colors and so I brought in

my my pencils my colored pencils these have been really good for

me like I really like these I do need a sharpener I've used them so much it's

time for a sharpener so what we're going to do here again I like

to come over here and do a

not whoops but I like to keep my finger okay

so we're just going to again you know you can you can see

like one there we go one of the yeah we're going to come in and we're going to clean up all those little

guys with the burner make little like burnt knots and not really knots they're

just like little they kind of disappear once you do that all right so now I'm

going to take the

coming from the back side of the button and then we'll go

down we'll go down his other little belly his other little belly

there now when we did this with the wild uh with the hemp it moved very easily

with the leather it's doesn't seem to want to Glide so I'm going to have to go all the

way down I could in other words I could pull it and it

would but it's being a little bit more a little bit more okay so I'm just

going to come down like that no big deal no big deal I just have to approach it differently and then this

one is coming this one's coming this

way and yeah so that's going to work out

just fine okay perfect aome sauce cool oh it's so cute all right so

now what we can do I'm going to do another one of

these another one of these knots and just want to get that as close

to the back button as possible okay and so now I did bring in

some I brought in the guns I brought in the big ones right the big guys the big

big guys here um trying I was trying to think like would any of these I mean it's hard because I know

these are gemstones and I know these this is not um let me see what I got in

this this box I was just thinking like you know you could if you wanted to like

slide some beads up in here let me see what I got going on

like this is kind of cool like we could do you know like that right so it's um

like you could have like a finished and then what's what's going on

in my box of Tricks over

here I don't know again I don't want to take away from the gemstone so this is a

little this is a little I don't know if I'm going to

be if I want to do that yeah I don't like that okay so

that's an idea though it could work for you it may not all right so with

that I'm just G to now I'm going to leave those I'm going to leave those

because if I do come across something that I feel Works cuz I have like a lot

a lot of gemstones in another bag you you know maybe I'll find something that

might work so let me get my wrist in here and let's see what we got going

on I'm going to hold that and so I have

a 6 in wrist look at how pretty that

is all right just going to get that up and over there and then my

Loop and oh I was doing so good okay and then my

owl yeah awesome so yeah so I'm going to I'm going to think about you know what

maybe I could do to that maybe macet it maybe um yeah I'm going to think about that

but check it out so dainty so precious again this was

another one that I had made with a little bit of a bigger bead and you could certainly wrap these around each

other so yeah so I have a 6 in wrist and

this has gone around it three times so if your Li your wrist is a larger size

then you might have like two layers um if you have a bigger Loom then you know

you can bead all the way up to 25 in so that that's kind of the difference in in

using the jewel loom versus using one of the bigger looms that has a a bigger

your beading base but so easy right and so much fun I mean my goodness the

possibilities are just endless with the beads and the material and the buttons and the and the ending and you know it's

just so cool and I'm I'm so proud of my jewel loom I'm so proud of it so proud that we

can do really cool stuff like a beaded wrapped bracelet

with gemstones very very cool right very nice okay don't forget I'm going to have
