Your Cart is Empty
so today I'm really excited to show you in this three-part series how to remove
your Celestial pattern from your pocket moon loom and how to actually finish it
and so usually we like to think about how we're going to finish our project before we start it and so I'm just going
to admit that I didn't really think about that and so I was so excited about
the the possibilities and obviously the cuteness of the pattern that I just
started to bead away and then it dawned on me oh how am I going to finish this
so you're probably wondering well how did I even get to this point there is a
part one and a part two in this three-part Series in part one I show you
how to actually warp this small loom and in part two I show you how to bead the
pattern which by the way is 20 let's see what do we have we have 20 beads across
and I'll just be honest with you watch part two because it's a real learning
experience where um if you're not used to having so many beads on your needle
and so many orps it was a really good lesson of how to get that first row to
stay it was like trying to trying to train a puppy um it was a very
interesting thing I'm sure that my very special guest and actually the designer of this pattern Danielle Wix is probably
gonna have a little trick up her sleeve that maybe she will share with us I did kind of have a visual in my mind and I'm
wondering if she and I are thinking the same thing so I'm super excited about
that so in addition to this small loom specifically the pocket moon loom I also
used wildfire and I use the color blue you could certainly use like a 1G or
what you'll want to do too is probably match whatever color palette you're working with and then with the purchase
of the pocket moon loom uh you got a pattern and you can see that I marked mine up so I put one through 20 up here
at the top and I put one through 18 on the side because it really helped me to follow my
pattern I also ended up uh picking some specific colors and I wrote out those
colors over here to the coordinating a b and c now this pattern uh leaves the
color freedom for you to choose basically we went purple gold beige you
can mix it up and use whatever colors you have um these are too size eight
beads that we are working with and if you are interested the beads that I used okay
this is a gorgeous galvanized rose gold super yummy A Light Beige and the
transparent rainbow teal which you can see let's see here I used most of that
so for the sky that's the color you're going to end up using the most of
with the beige being next and then I barely touched my rose gold for All of
the Stars now these colors are on the homepage of juwel loom.com so I do have
some in stock if you want to buy them again their too 80 beads and this is my
color palette but again you can totally use whichever one you want I also want
to let you know um let me show you the loom when it's not not warped and beaded
this is what it looks like so we have the beading grid so these are your
little beading teeth right here they're very close to each other so that they accommodate the smaller seed beads
excuse me like the 11 O's and like the eight O's and then you have your wonderful little notches up here where
you're going to tie off we've also got them on the B uh bottom makes life really easy and then the teeth basically
are uh wider so you know you can always play around and use a wider warping
material as well it's just going to end up laying on the teeth because as you can see these are super tiny uh we've
got 2.75 going across three and a quarter coming down so it's the perfect
little size for a precious little pro project and that's why I named it the
pocket moon loom I will give you a sneak peek at the mama there was a mama so whoa she
doesn't even fit into the here we go this is the original Moon Goddess uh
Loom and she has a five across by five down beading area if you do go with this
Loom I am going to go ahead and make sure that you have the pattern with it
as well but the special and how we've been teaching um is with the pocket moon
loom this was our gratitude offer gratitude is still going strong and
thank you thank you thank you for um all of your orders it's just been such a
blessing and so grateful to Danielle as usual for making such a fabulous beaded
pattern for us so without further Ado I am going to bring myself up and Danielle
Miss Danielle and there I am hi so good to see you I miss you hi
Jules I missed you too I know it's like I was trying to think when the last time I know well every month we talk because
we we birthed um a new era of creative
soul and everyone is loving it and we've been doing the seedbead edition of the
creative soulbox um and it like we can't I can't even keep it in stock it's like
it goes really really quick and I think I think we only have like five subscriptions left so like if
you're not a subscriber to the creative Soul then you're not guaranteed to get
one of those kits so you know something to think about you don't have to I'm just telling you the details so you
don't get upset if uh if you really wanted one so yeah so it's really funny
Steph yeah Stephanie accidentally bought two and um she's going to see if her granddaughter wants to wants to learn on
that so awesome very good okay so Danielle thank you for
Designing this very precious seedbead pattern I knew right away when you know
I birthed the pocket moon loom I was like you know we really need to give give the buyer the person the jul loom
Community member we need to give them something to make and right away I went to you and I said do you think you can
take you know the idea of the artwork and TR you know translate that somehow
into a pattern and let's do you know so that we can actually get it done
and you were so accommodating um I I love mine I don't even want to take it off it's so
pretty it's gorgeous right I just yeah I loved I loved how I loved how you kept
the colors neutral like in the sense of purple gold beige like knock your socks off with
whatever you need three different colors the moon the sky and the stars and they
could be whatever you want and so I know that you have your color variation um I
was so excited to make my project I didn't think about finishing it which I'm always preaching I'm like
know how you're gonna finish it before you start it you know and then I did the same thing and so while I was back East
I was like reaching out to you and I'm like oh my gosh Danielle do you have ideas because I I'm yeah and I knew you would
so I appreciate you so much I know the entire Community does and so I'm just going to let you take over and can I
tell you something your tip a couple of weeks ago and I do believe it was on the
earring Loom okay which yes you talked about counting your warps face down like
this when the warps are are on the solid wood
girl you know how easy that makes it to count your warps Oh yay I was like she
yeah I was super I use that I use that like for myself I was like oh wait a minute Danielle Danielle taught me that
and taught everybody and I'm gonna do that and I was like oh it is so much easier aome I'm glad that helps yeah
sometimes with this manys it's tough right yeah so so the other thing that I want your
inp put on so I don't know if you had if you watched part two but in part two I
started beating and I'm not gonna lie trying to do 20 beads across kicked oh
yeah my butt and but you know it dawned on me afterwards that perhaps I could
have even with the needle maybe if I just went under over and then I opened
up the warps do you think that would have helped me get that first row up they better what did you do yeah um you
know it's definitely when you have that many beads it's it's a struggle no matter what you're doing yeah um the
only thing that really helps is um because you know some people will knot to the side and that stops the beads
from going any further to if you're right-handed to the left yeah um so what I did just temporarily was I brought the
uh WFT thread above the leftmost thread just for a second just while I was doing
the feeding okay I just made sure and brought it right back under before I did the overpass okay yeah because I know
you start a little different than I I do but um but I do believe if my memory
serves me I did actually I did I I did
start it the way that you start it but yeah you'll have to watch it
you'll have to just just go fast forward 20 minutes and that's where all the pain
and suffering comes in but you know what also it was a great learning opportunity for not only myself but I think the
viewer to like understand that that first row with all those beads could be slightly more
fun you know it's challenging to do a first row with 20 beads I matter matter what you're doing you're gonna probably
at least have to you know use your fingernail to like pick a warp or two over some beads I did I did all your
little tricks girl out while you're doing it yeah yeah it finally worked out
but it was funny I was like I'm not going to stop I'm not going to edit I'm just like I want people to know like
okay first row can be a little funky but you'll get there so very good okay um
really quick I just I do want to let the Canadian folks know the can Canadian members like unfortunately there is a
big strike going on in Canada and so you know USPS is not um not delivering and
UPS is charging like and atics like the the shipping is just like off the charts
crazy their prices what's that rais their prices for Canada I haven't check
I just feel like um I don't know I can't tell you that they raise their prices but I can tell you that when my Canadian
people are telling me that the option is just like insane um there's Wendy is
dying to get the earring looms and and I was like we have to wait because it's
just you can't pay that much money for shipping I'm not letting you pay that much so it'll all work out and um you
know that's why I'm going to keep the pocket Loom and stock by the way and yeah so it's all good it'll all work out
and so are the beads with a gratitude offer no they're not with them but you could buy them separately the beaded
pattern is with the pocket Loom yeah but the beads are separate so all right Danielle I'm gonna let you take it
over okay and teach me because I got to get this bad boy off of my loom all
right well let me know um I had not settled completely on what it would become yet I have three ideas and
they're all different but we could we could talk through how to do all of them and I yeah I love that no let's do that
because I I and also just as a side note not that this is what we're doing but I mentioned to Danielle
earlier that would that not make like repetitively like if you did this
pattern on one of the larger looms and you did a
pu yeah it would be stunning it would be it would be ridiculously stunning so you
you could go down to 110 I could yeah and this Loom is uh
combed great for 110 as well yes you could you could do 110 and you have a
little smaller pattern which could be repeated over and over as a bracelet okay or it would be earrings because
it's smaller yes yes yeah I you know I think that my original thought was that
it would be like a really cool pendant you know I kind of visualized like some loops and then I was like okay well neie
has that really beautiful teal blue ice blue silver silk that can be you know
and and you have it I have I don't have the teal but I
have some colors behind me yeah yeah that's kind of like what I
thought would be really cool or you know like if people sometimes they have extra chains or cords you could do something
cool but tell me what tell me tell me tell me tell me your ideas so here's
mine and one thought that I had in fact the first thought I had was Pur charmm
oh are so Trend right now and you could put a big bead and then a little clip
and you can put it on a quick link you know or something like that I love that okay okay so we got two different color
I loved your idea of a pendant yeah no that's yeah but I
love and we could share that too because it would just be creating a little chain right okay side and it could be worn
long I feel like this would be a long pendant and you could even do some Fringe we did something like that
together on an earring once that yes that would be so hot and since they're we can get into that Ado very
easily to do the French and not stress like about breaking a bead or you know
whatever that case may be so awesome idea awesome yeah and then your idea for
the cuff was also brilliant couple ways you could do the cuff you could pattern out on a larger Loom or if you want to
use this Loom finish it off of this one and then do some Herring bone from
either side and a little bit smaller that would just because this would probably cover the entire top of your wrist I think yeah I think so so if you
did a little Herring bone band around the back it would just be at the back of your wrist and you could either button closure that or so that's another way
and then an ornament for your tree oh my
gosh what like I love that different ways that you
could so we could pick a f i don't know do we have a do what
what's getting everybody excited in the chat do does so we've got ornament we've
got um we've got the pendant idea well I
mean what do you set up to do what's going to be most easy for you to do I think they're all equally easy some of
them will take longer to show completion like for example doing the Herring bone band coming out from the sides would
it's super easy I could show starting it and then show finishing it
video stringing so stringing the save the cuff idea because I think that's
like a whole other ball game we could do that as a class too like a separate project and yeah I think so te can be
used for any project so you just get in there and just go from there yeah I
think so so I I see a purse chain charm I see
ornament yeah in instructions for purse charm and ornament could be the same it's placement so for an ornament I kind
of pictured placement in the center okay and then if you're G purse charm one
thought I had was would it be cool to suspend it like that as a p charm so absolutely I would see it I would see it
at an angle I would see it angle so that was the vibe I got but it would be the same type of little Loop I'm thinking
just a little mini Herring bone Loop that kind of folds on itself nice and strong easy to reinforce and then you
could um you know put that anywhere on any of these edges yeah so we've got
okay now now we just went three to two so we got three ornaments two purse charms and I feel like those are like
together we could that technique you feel like you could demo and be like it could be either or yeah
okay let's do it let's do it okay it awesome let's do it roll out my sleeves
here we go very cool oh and I have I think I
have some quick links with me they're not required but um beon has these like 25 millimeter Hoops have you heard of
those you could always just yeah they look like uh let me get one really quick
um they look oh I'm holding the wrong camera they look like that okay like at
the craft store or even just in your junk drawer at home probably keychain
okay that's an idea but not required if you have and you want to use it it just depends like how you're going to attach
it to your purse if you wanted to get one of those big swivels you get one of those really big like lobster cloth
swivels there's like a bunch of things in like mac world that would work for this but so many things okay all right
go down to the C down to the table then Joan do you wna get rid of me and or
however we need to do this there you go yeah okay so our first
little trick here is to get it off of the Loom yeah that's what I'm curious about yeah and that's it's actually um
you guys are going to be bored because I've done it a bunch of times for you but it never hurts to see it again yeah
you're gonna see it with a lot of warps this time it's G be a little crazy almost as crazy as our um our pouch was
that we did I believe how many warps did that one have I forgot already oh gosh
yeah a lot a lot so I just I did my knot
originally okay you you just clip the top knot on the top
left yeah okay even though it looks like the bottom that's actually your top
left yeah what I did when I when I warped it was I had the knot tied here and then I did trim the tail of that
knot because I knew I wasn't gonna need it okay so I'm gonna cut
one just that one side just the one side not yeah right I need to get a little
light in here I can't see and that will free your warp that is
on in this holding it in the right orientation here um okay it's free the warp that's on your leftmost side just
here at the top okay and then from there what I usually do is I just take my
thumbnail and I just pick each of these free that works on the in Loom and I don't know is it g work on
this Loom yeah I'm going to see I'm hoping it will it's going to be a little tricky on the first one but as you get
them off I think it's Gonna Get Easier but I hadn't thought of that until just now believe it or
not I do have a backup plan if that doesn't work let me free my in this case
because it was odd count we also have another knot here on the bottom okay and
it's okay free that one as well okay so so I'm so maybe that will help us get it
loose so you're going to free the bottom MH so now this one's free too and see if
that like loosens it up and it should loosen it a little bit my tension was really really tight yours might not be
mine was no mine's tight because I'm a tight I'm a warper man I'm a you know so I might actually just use some
pliers but I'm going to be super gentle about it because I want to take care of my loom
yeah oh I see you're doing let me get my flats and see if I can do the same I
think it will help if you grab both at the same time and then just kind of give that a pull like
that and now I've got one free so that's gonna help a lot that sound is not pleasant
friend that sound scared me Mama sorry you might have in the door because um
one of my kids is coming to get a Lego okay that might be what you heard but you could have been hearing this too no
it's it's me I hear it I hear him snapping oh god oh you know what my thread actually just broke so we're
gonna go with our plan B uh oh okay let's go ahead and trim it oh where are
we GNA trim um let's go ahead and just trim as close as we can because we want to make these as long as we can down
here at the botom okay and I'm just gonna show you how to weave these in
okay but yeah on the earring Loom they're a little shorter so they're a little easier to get free oh so well
interesting that's said I think it'll still work okay okayy well we're I mean this is the
old school way right like we did already have you already cut them on only want
to cut uh one side so the top or bottom okay so just cut one side yeah way we
can at least Reduce by half the number that the number that we have to pull or that we have to weave back in
yeah so if you just cut one side and so for me will you please well yeah there you go I was gonna say will you show
your bottom yeah so my bottom I still have loops okay cool and at the top I
have free ones okay and that's gonna be okay I was a little worried I was kind
of hoping it was be a little looser but I went crazy with my tension yeah no I I feeless with it
yesterday there so far so good we got that ready so we're going to need to
ignore this Edge one because it is alone it's the warp strand that's running this
whole side we're gonna have to weave that one in okay these are our WS leave those over here but we should be able to
pull all the others up okay and so I'm going to start
with these two so see these two right here which is
the the leftmost and then the one right in from there yeah and I'm going to go ahead and just
just I'm going to use my pliers just to give me something to grip with hopefully they'll be strong enough to
pull and you're pulling away from you yeah and they're going to be really
tight at first because that side warp is always quite tight so I actually found that pulling one one at a time was easier so see what I'm doing I'm just
kind of going one [Music] one and
one and that made my Loop there at the bottom just go right there
okay so this is going to work pretty good and so now we have a lot more here at the top to weave in that's going to
make it a little easier because they're a little short for weaving in at this this length you would need like a short
sharp needle but that's going to work pretty good all right so I'm going to do that same thing again with the next
ones so the next ones being the third and the fourth warps that are coming in
there so let's just pull those yeah I'm not having good time getting
them to move together so I'm actually going to pull them independently yeah I'm pulling I'm
pulling very slow and independently here we go so there's my
first four so that's what's happen in
there it's like half magic trick zaka says Danielle's magic
trick but we're just doing the just going to get those bottom lips to come up there we go
yeah and you know one other C every other warp that that has been cut
into and actually here's an idea I wish I'd had earlier actually be really cool is if we
did the loose ones on the bottom you could just add beads and turn them into Fringe sure could yeah okay nice okay
now I need to make another one because that would be so cute I wish I thought of that oh and if
you were using fiber like something you could fren yeah it's going to be a purse charm
right so now I'm oh hanging on steady on here's a great idea what if it was
braided cord and we did the Lumi just normal like but then the bottom here you
just like Let It All Fray out oh that'd be really hot that' be so
cool see that's a problem with me is I get too many ideas even like yeah yeah
yeah
oops pull that one a little bit how's yours going can I ask question
just um you're saying like you know if we use cord and we can let it Fray at
the bottom instead of using cord as a warps because we want that tight thing
you know how you have the loops at the bottom before you pull the loop you know tighten the loops against the bottom can
you feed some quart Bo through that or would that be too much stress oh my goodness no that would be that would be
amazing like like for each of these Loops you could lar notot a more like um
interesting kind of like multicolor braided cord or something like that or tassel cord you could Larks knot it to
that Loop and then tighten that Loop up and that would be so cool oh
wow that's amazing whoops he we need to do another
version of that so we can show that Joan can you just bring my overhead
up so they could see mine I was trying to do that but I got
okay so here's my my bottom so I pulled up all of my my
Loops correct and then this was actually beating thread
from from warping that I warped back there's my side if I'm correct there's
side and then this was the original it's hard to see and then this is that
far that far one so I think I'm good I mean like yeah right yeah it looks good
okay so there's me there's me okay Jan sorry you could get rid of
me I think I'm almost done with pulling mine up as well okay and just don't
tighten that one last one okay so yeah I noticed you have to like really look at the bottom and make sure that you know
you've gotten it tight enough I feel like I want to just do a little more on that
one let's go to there I just want to finish it and then hold it it's so
pretty and it feels so yummy so many beautiful things it can become I'm going to grab another needle
really quick let's see find of those and I've got let's get another
plier I'm going to get some chain nose pliers and just flatten my ends and let's start with The leftmost Strand
here so that's this one right here yeah and it might have a knot on it mine does
so I'm gonna trim that okay trim that KN off I gota get light back up
here and are we putting a needle on it yeah I'm GNA go ahead and throw it on a needle
and so I'm just going to take this Edge warp here and I'm going to go over the EDG
most bead on this side okay because it's the warp strand so we don't want any of our beads to fall so if we go over it
and then what I'm doing here is I'm picking up the WFT thread so if you remember the thread is the the back pass
of beads that you kept over the warps but in the beads yeah and so I'm going
under those and I went under the first three there
and the thing I like about doing this method is because we have so many strands here yeah we're gonna have to
pull them all through in this method we can choose the location where the strands go so they're not all going in
the same place gotcha you don't end up with like the first three rows being the thickest in the whole thing you know
yeah and do this twice for each strand so I went under three or four three or
four is fine and then I went through a few beads in the row that I ended up in after doing
that so here I've gone through one two three and four pull through that and then now I'm
just going to go through a few beads in ter and if it starts getting short on you you can go through the ey side
sometimes it's easier to get an ey side through when your thread's short okay and from here I'm going to go ahead and
just burn that off okay burn or trim with some Flush Cutters because Wildfire for me is like really
yeah really strong but a little hard to cut yeah so there one down and a few to
go okay I'm just go ahead and do that a few more times and I'll keep going until
we've got at least a corner where I can demo creating a little Loop
yeah but this is actually um cool to show because I don't think I've ever showed the whole process for weaving in
I've always do the tricky the trick pull thing yeah no this this is
fantastic and so now I've got this warp so this is the warp that's running running that location yep so we're going
to jump over the second bead and again I'm going to pick up left
thread that's in between those beads now let's go for four since we did
three before try to get under just the top
one so just like that pull that
tight go through a few beads just going to do that one more
time and four beads
down and then we'll head over that
way and what what a great little um card topper gift top like I just feel
like it could also just be a precious little oh you know what you could um go
to the of a gift box yeah like I'm thinking about all of Eileen Hall's um really
cool you know her die cuts that make you know Taj mahals
and yeah all that stuff that she does that would be really cool yeah it
just seems yeah like I'm just visualizing how beautiful that would be and I bet you there's a way that you
can make the chords if you were doing a paper crafting project you may be able
to SK this weaving in part yeah because all you would have to do then is hide
them like and even with this as a purse chm yeah you didn't want to have a a both back and a front you could lose
some felt on the back and hide your warps that way yeah I got to get my burner okay oh
and sometimes I just use fles Cutters too I think the burner is just optional okay if you're if you like using a
burner I just kind of like it I think it's quicker than my flesh cutting yeah
but I think they're both equally great ways to to do it yeah you just want to make sure you can see what you're doing
so you don't yeah like tear up your
project and this seems like it will take a super long time but to be honest it really doesn't take that long yeah I
mean I'm yeah well and when you're focused and you're not trying to demo and talk like it's it's you
know it's G to go quick and so after you do that second
little loopy through through you might want to go through with your eyes side just because it's a little a little tougher to get your needle through but
in addition to that there's always the trick of short Sharps which I like to use a lot
okay those are my go-to when I've let my thread get a little short yeah um those
are kind of kind of cool to have handy you know we all get going with our seed beading projects if you're like really
into the weeds of seed beading yeah I I know people who cannot live without the short needle because they get themselves
in this situation well exactly and the jom needle is like amazing but as long
well you need it for this because this one the need yeah yeah
exactly so everything every tool in our toolbox has its like has its role and
it's data sh we not just collecting stuff people exactly that's what I tell my
family when they see my craft room I'm like uhuh like you don't understand everything has a purpose everything in
here is required all right yeah yeah so
funny okay oops here we go I'm speeding up a
little bit let me know if you have questions I'm just going Z through it yeah no do do you because
um because yeah that's cool so um eh oh is that e she is that e
e here oh hi e no I don't know it just says eh I don't know if that's eileene I think she's on a cruise
somewhere oh that's awesome I know she was live from a cruise doing a jewel
loom uh project with her Loom and I was just busting up I was like oh my gosh so
cool um but whoever that is is asking what is the best brand of Flush Cutters
I mean I'm you know I like beeton's hand tools I I know that there are options
out there that range and price I mean what's your take um Nee and I both love Lindstrom
but they're on the pricey side yeah like anything out of Germany especially like is always going to be I don't know where
they're from but like German tools are usually a lot more
expensive yeah the ones that I use are the this brand but I've had these for a
decade oh my okay well yeah and they're just they're going
strong good okay so how are we doing on time I could keep going but I have enough real estate
to show yeah I mean so what well what do you have next to show so next was I was
gonna create a little miniature Loop and um the little Loop will be made
with uh it'll be two columns so you're going to need to place it anywhere on
the top row here that has four beads coming out or even side would work too it doesn't have to be the top it could
be the side yeah whatever wherever you think you can demonstrate the best to get the message across I'm cool with and
I'm sure everybody has for the most part you know understands the concept of weaving back in the the warps so all
right yeah in that case I think I'll Let's Pretend because you've seen that process that you know it takes a hot
minute but then once you've got it all of these go away and you would need to do the same thing with just this Edge
most one it's a little short but you'll want to weave just to make sure I mentioned this one right here you'll
need to independently weave in each side okay so like this side will need to get yeah that's I yeah but that's still half
the journey you know by pulling at least in half of it yeah and then anywhere along here or here or here anywhere
you'd like you can start to make this Loop and that based on where you place it can become what you're hoping it will
become like if you put the loop in the center four here at 20 beads across you would have you could have an even
midpoint it would be right about there so that's one place you put it um you can put it right on the edge which
is what I think I'm going to do or maybe even just one over I think I'm gonna do right right on the edge but wherever you
place it that's where it's going to suspend and so it'll either hang kind of like on the side like that or right from
the center okay now and I feel like you could even do that over here too but I think it
makes sense on the top I don't know the style so at this point I just want
everyone to understand that Danielle would continue to weave those um top
warps back into the body of the P of this beaded piece before time we're just
going to go ahead and uh work on the a closure type concept
so yeah yeah and so what I'm noticing here is that um you're going to be very
surprised I I did my weaving from the top to the bottom which I almost never do but my long like working thread that
I have left it's at the bottom so I'm just gonna need to bring this up to do the next step but wherever you have your
longest strand bring it to the position uh where you would like to put your Loop and that can also be a new strand that
you weave in if you like um I'm going to go ahead and just get this one out of the way really quick
this is my what would have been the tail when I started looming so this is The Tail Of My WFT okay I'm just going to go ahead
and find where on the side it's coming out of so here on the bead it's coming out of this side and my warp is right
here I'm going to jump over the warp and go through the
bead get myself to like I right about
there I will say the thing I like about weaving the warps back into this the body of this piece is that I feel my
piece becoming more stable like oh that's a really good point yeah because
first ter you might want it to not be as flexible as you may want like a cuff bracelet to be yeah especially it won't
curl that way yeah no it's really that's
brilli that's super cool yeah I think that is definitely helping mine is getting much stronger too yeah can you
feel that it's kind of cool yeah so it's a time honored way to do this
particular thing I mean this kind of work is um you know there's really no machine
that can do this I don't think no be done by people's hands it's not gonna have
heart I was just watching a YouTube video about this crochet dress that somebody made 40
hours go like you cannot make that on a machine because I guess there's no
machines that can do crochet I did not know that because there's knitting machines right but like there's no
crochet machines and so I'm like hey that's really interesting something that AI can't do oh my gosh right yes yeah my
grandma was my Portuguese Grandma crocheted I have all of her crochet hooks her needles um they're all these
amazing colors I'll have to share them I would love to see them yeah I I enjoy
crocheting and knitting I'm not you know super proficient but I'm I can
pretend some people are like cool they know how to do it really
well I think I'm kind of a noob at it like I'm sort of okay at doing it but not yeah I still follow other people's
patterns it's not like I'm making my own patterns yet although I've done it one time oh my gosh that would be amazing
but I had to I had to focus so much on like schooling myself on the you know
the terminology and the way they do the shorthand when they do the written patterns
yeah since I'm a visual um I learn visually so for me I really want to use
those charts like where they they write out the shorthand like diagram of the Stitch but I don't know what they're
they're they have meaning like you have to study out like what they mean you can't just wing it oh that's where I'm at on that
Journey oh buggers so it's really important I just I just found a boo boo
no um probably because my lighting is not light enough right now um make sure
that you're picking up that warp because if you don't it's just laying on it and
now I have a ribon oh no mean which did you I'm
having trouble visualizing what happened exactly okay here can you can you go to
my overhead Joan real quick
so you see that ribbon right there oh I see so I didn't my needle didn't pick up
the warp I literally just was on top of
the warp I wasn't picking up the warp okay so now I have so it's okay I'm gonna um I'll just fry it with the
zapper that would probably be okay because you've got gonna have to be it's gonna have to be
yeah I think that's okay the middle um one little thing that I love about it is that um particularly with
these threads they I wouldn't trust it to like a closure on a bracelet for
example yeah but something like this that it does cauterize it and it does act like a tiny little bit of glue I'm G
leave it until I can like get this under a spotlight to see what the heck happens oh I actually I could share one other
little tip or trick about bur okay you could take me off Joe yeah and I mean if you want to show it on yours too but
when you're um when you have a burner if you can you know how you can touch it
right to the thread but if you have one that gets super super hot or even like I don't know one of those little candle lighters if you hover instead of touch
yes just before everything starts getting softer and softer and you finally do the the little to zap it
touches the other threads around it yeah I do do that I don't I usually go in
with caution you seen the ladies doing the Mac reels where they they lighter it
and then they take their finger while it's still hot I know I oh my gosh that's so crazy it's kind of the same
thing you're just warming it up and then when you do that final burn on it it's and it's like a little bit of glue like
you had a tiny tiny bit so there's there's always away that's my whole my whole thing always all right so I got my
thread where I wanted it and so I decided my Loop is going to be these four Edge but you can pick any four that
you want okay and I'm just going to work with my purple seed
beads and you don't need many you know just a little handful of them pretty good all right so I'm going to pick up
two and what I'm going to do is I'm going to
go you can e do the warp thing or you can actually just go back through the two beads it's up to you I might do both
just I like to kind of lock it in a little bit so I did go under a little warp there but that's optional so
through that and what it's going to do is it's going to pop those beads like that and then go ahead and just go through those two
beads so if you want you can just pick up two beads and go through the
two oh shoot oops oh okay either way is good I just I did go
under the warp just to to kind of make it tight but that at this point you don't have to do
that I just have my little goofy things that I do yeah no that's I mean it's good to share all of that
because it's helpful for sure and so it's looking like that and
to the seedbead Nerds already you're gonna say oh that's Herring bone Stitch so this is actually how to do the cuff
thing I was talking about where you just hering bone out the middle it's G to make a nice strong Loop
very stinking cool and then I just brought my needle up through the first
bead and so now I'm going to pick up two more okay and for this one you just want
to go through the bead that is next to it so so just through that second bead oh
wow pull that down and the beads are going to do that they're going to pop like that
it's single column Herring bone now I'm just going to come up through these two we only have to do a
very short amount of this so it's not going to take super long yeah no I'm super stoked to learn that you know how
I am with all those words it's basically it's just like I
mean somebody gave it a fancy name but it honestly it's go back through the bead and loop
around go back through the bead and loop around I like that that makes me feel better we went back we went through the
second one and then we're just going to come up through the the two here on the right or sorry on the left this is my
left hand okay this is and I don't know my left or my right so please ignore
me should hear how badly I get made fun of in my family when I give directions in the car oh my
God family right means left and left means
right so there's our first Herring bone Stitch um that's crazy okay so it's it's
almost like a Pico but it's one bead more because a Pico is usually three
yeah exactly you're just doing doing two every time so now I'm picking up two more here and I'm only going to go
through the second bead here so just just like that
okay super easy when you pull that the same thing should happen again sometimes I help it a little bit but it should pop
just like that for you I'm just going to come up with these
two so just through those and what this is going to create
is a strong little suspension and I'm wondering if if you can already see how
this could become a necklace it would take a long time but yeah this is a one way you could start a chain if you
wanted to yeah yeah that is like oh that's so empowering Danielle you like
it yeah that's really empowering for me because uh I don't you know hopefully
others too like just seeing like oh okay I do my basic seat Beed pattern and it's
super cool and I'm bringing it home and then I get to learn like this whole
other level technique
it's like you're Maring off Loom and on loom right now it's like this beautiful thing that's happening oh yeah wow right
I actually think looming is the more advanced technique anybody who can handle looming doing everything we just did
this is this is a piece of cake compared to that that's so funny because I'm so I
you know I think that when I've just been such an on Loomer my whole you know my my whole life right so so I get
intimidated when not on the loom but I'm watching you and I'm like man this is a
really great way to empower people to do both is cool thank you oh my gosh this
is really cool I think like for some reason I think people think like seed beaing of of them seed beating is
difficult but then when they find out how easy it is they're like hang on yeah it's like some conspiracy happened to
like make people think that some conspiracy that's awesome get the more I
the more I question you know what I
mean yeah that's cool I I'm I want to sit I'm gonna do a time stamp on this
video so that uh so that people can get to the different sections that they want to get to and I cannot wait to sit with
what you're doing like I'm really excited about it oh I see Karen's backing me up she's
saying yes looming is harder than off Loom seriously so Karen says looming is
harder for her than off looming that's so interesting oh and I'm
like off looming to me is harder because I don't you know
because it's not what I do all the time oh my gosh girlfriend tell me about the middle is that an
opening no they're woven together yeah no they're it's just a band and you can
take this out to whatever length you want but I think what I'm gonna do is I'm GNA go ahead and call that good and
let me tell you how many I've got okay one two three four five six seven eight
nine 10 11 12 I've got 13 of them 13 you can 13 people Lucky 13 who's
playing bingo right the best sales day every month for my grandfather at his shop what I love
that my great-grandfather I should say oh my
gosh and so I'm I'm gonna go ahead and put this quick link on here and you could use anything honestly yeah you're
gonna blow our minds right now I can feel it you're just gonna blow our minds and so it's just gonna hang like that oh
stop it and Let's Fold it over no it girlfriend we're just gonna connect it
to these two all right I must learn this it looks like that
wow that's so cool it's G to be strong too yeah and you're right this could be
this could totally be for the purse or uh you get one of the thingies to hang
your hang your ornament yeah you could even leave this Loop by itself without anything in it and just put one of those
Christmas hooks like on it a Christmas hook
yeah the thing we can never find oh my gosh and so there's like more than one
way to do this next part but like the easiest way is probably identifying that we're currently exiting out of the bead
that I feel like lines up with this one right here here if that makes sense okay so I'm going to go through that bead in
this direction okay and I'm going to go all the way through it so I'm going to go through this bead and the next
one so those two right there and that should just bring that right down like that so it's going to be a little open
on the side for now but we'll just go ahead and come up through that bottom bead right
there and just pull that jeez my mind is so blown right now
oh so great I mean I'm still weaving in my warps but I'm watching to do that too
totally out wow and that is correct that is called a hering that's a herring bone
single column Herring bone single column Herring bone okay and what I'm doing now is I'm
reinforcing that path that I was just showing by just through them again so I came up through this bead and
then I jumped over and went down through this Edge one here okay and then now I'm just gonna Loop through I'll do it again
because I want to make it strong so go through one more time so just come up through and then
when you do that you can come up through more than one bead and you can make the turn at any
place that you'd like and so if you come up to the third bead head down through its adjacent third bead whichever one
and this is kind of already giving you a head start on weaving it into wow and so now I'm going to go through
this one more
time all right and so let's go ahead and weave it in just GNA head back this way
wow this is like so far from
expectation like I'm so thrilled right now oh I'm so glad yeah no this is I was
worried I didn't um I was worried that my idea was to like a you know like it
wasn't um enough details you know like no this is so
cool no it's so good you're empowering so many of us right now I love
it and I all doing now is just weaving in the same way we were doing all the warps right yeah same old thing that we
were doing it just takes like a long time to do all the them yeah that's okay I
mean and so I'm gonna try to do that burner thing I was talking about okay so
I I know I wanted let me show you so I I know I want it to when I when I burn it it's going to
be making contact as it lays down on top of all those little threads in there now I don't want to damage those threads but
I do kind of want to encourage them to bond with the I'm about to trim so I
just kind of like fire it up and just hold it kind of close let me see if I
can move it a little bit my demoing dexterity is I do I
usually do it flat on the mat if you can Envision it yeah and then I'm just going to kind of before I burn it I'm just
holding it next to it and then when I burn
it using my fingernail just going to push it down I could feel it was a little hot
now the um spot that I burnt see if I can show it to you oh it's so well
hidden well it's it's in there somewhere but it's like basically
just bead and it just kind of disappears wow okay I really like that I got what
you're saying it would it be too crazy if we made two of these so make one take
it off make another one just like it sandwich them together and connect them
the side like we did the Dell Soul pouch yeah yeah put a little loop on it now you've got a little coin purse yeah no I
was sitting here wrapping it around my finger trying to figure out how to make it like some really cool hippie chick
ring but I'd have to be my fingers are so chunky I'd have to have I'd have to
have more more space on the sides but you know how some girls uh wear those really
long oh yes yeah you know what I'm saying like a tube because I just keep
envisioning this being a tube um sewing the two sides together
but I yeah it's so oh gosh it feels so cool so I was
um so Joan do you want to bring the two of us back up
together so I so I got everything but my shorties
here I don't have I'm GNA have to look for a short needle I don't
ever yeah I think you have so let me look for him first and if I can't find him I I will send out a SOS oh you know
what the short needles that come with the creative Soul kit those I have some
of those okay cool beans so I'll do that um but Danielle I missed the part where you talked about this this guy and this
what did you say um so on the very edge just because of the way we took it off of the Loom yeah these
these were the ones that um oh I think we got to get you back up hold on oh sorry can we get her overhead back up so
she could show us please okay so when it was when it was
on the loom yeah we we cut it free on this side and then we had a a side that
also on this side that was cut free and I was able to pull
um because of the way the way that it worked we were able to pull all of them but this Edge one does that make sense
so this is actually the edge warp yeah that runs along the very side and it's
it's just a little bit short okay so the best way to weave those in and just um
you know keep that in mind like when you're cutting it off the loom preserve as much of that length as you can so yeah cut it back here gives you as much
as you can only cut one one side either the top or the bottom it just only cut one okay
um and then I flatten the ends to get my needle threaded easier because I'm going to use um the one that comes from the
creative Soul kit so this okay cool it's actually the one I've been using this whole time okay they do make shorter
ones though there are shorter ones in the craft store like um they embroidery section but will work on an 80 seed bead
okay and so this one I'm gonna want to go over because it's a warp thread right so I'm
G to go over a bead okay it's super super short
and so I'm really I'm going right to the edge here I'm probably only going to be able to get it to go one time in this way
yeah but I have another little trick to show it's a desperate trick but it has saved me many a pinch okay do this top
and bottom um so I got this one through now there's no way I'm gonna be able to bend it again like that so yeah go ahead
and take it off your needle yeah and then put your needle where you want that
thread to go yeah and then just thread it
again oh good man we are like screaming out the T tips in this one I love it I
can't I can't wait to go back and do the time stamps because it's be so fun to like see all of the the little beating
nuggets that were being were being uh shared so
good it's funny because this is one of the naughty seed beater trucks this is the one for when you let
your thread get to Too Short you know like in seed bead weaving you get excited and you keep going and you're like oh oh you're like okay you're like
oh no so this is the desperate move
yeah there we go Sometimes It's tricky to thread it like that but yeah super possible if you have one of those
magnifiers that's a win and then of course side trick so this is so short
but we can go our side and and then go back through that's
a great thing too about these being SI size um got that where we want it
yeah okay okay nice we'll have to do the same
thing with that little one okay all right good so you were just basically doing the same thing so same thing but
with way less length the difference there in length we have super Game
Changer on the hering bone I mean I can't even I don't even know who I am right
now I so excited about that so excited let's get us back up
here so thank you thank you thank you that is
that's so cool it's like you know what I love most about things like this is like you you have how do I say this you know
I love the building of the collaboration right you know it's like
okay Robert and I love every year to do a gratitude offer to say thank you like
to really produce a really sweet Loom so you know this gets birthed and
then it's like okay what what is the community what would they'd like to see
you know and then bring in Danielle like and then okay that's so cool it's such a
cool seedbead pattern and then you just whip out the haing bone and thank you for
being so willing to just um be fluid because that's how I am I don't I don't
always like to be like d d yes it's good in some situations but like you came to the table and you're like we could do
this we could do that and then these two are kind of the same way and I love that and I think the community loves that
because they're all saying wooo and yeah there's a lot of sharing going
on and so I'm grateful to you and I'm I'm um so grateful that Joan is in the
background like keeping us all dialed in and throwing up tags when people are asking questions and um and so she's uh
part of this precious family and uh and it's so cool so Zach is saying fabulous
fabulous wait van tabulous session nice yes Danielle is a creative
soul for sure and we're so lucky to I just I'm always gonna thank the
little earring business card thing oh that like literally brought yeah it like
literally changed our first of all it made our relationship oh I know well I was I was
stalking you before that but I'd wanted to beat you for a while
like it solidified the on Sam's and I'm like Sam yes I know and I had not met him and so
you know we're talking about like years ago when Danielle and I were at the sh same show uh and and I had these cute
little business cards and so it's just it's interesting where creativity can start where relationships can start and
that I love that about this community I feel like we're a very relationship driven group of people and we love
supporting one another and just really um hey I'm really great at designing and
developing looms like I I'm just gonna say that right but I'm not always I'm
not always the one to make a pattern I'm not and I'm cool with that like girlfriend you do it right or girlfriend
what you know how to do like that's what makes it all
fantabulous yeah because we each have a strength and and I'm so happy that my
looms bring so much joy and inspiration and um so grateful to you I truly and
I'm not just saying this like watching you do that Herring bone thing because like At first go this is how crazy this
is what how much I don't know you were saying that at the beginning of this the Herring bone I'm like what kind of cord
is that what is she talking about I it doesn't even dawn on me that it's a
stitch such a goof I used to think of it as like a um a textile we like you know
like the professor's jacket like you know hearing I love that yeah but but
it's so thank you for Maring an on loom project to an off Loom technique and
really empowering all of us to realize that we could do that oh for sure yeah
there's lots of places we could go with with all kinds of combos like that so oh even you'll go crazy I will go crazy and
I'm in I'm all in for that kind of stuff I think it's really really good because
it just shows you know just teaching and learning something like as long as you're learning I feel like you're a
brain is happy when your brain is happy your body's happy so yeah yeah thank you
Danielle so much thank you I'm so incredibly appreciative H for everything
that you do and I know that we're working on the December creative Soul um project and we've got our colors and and
it looks very sexy by the way very holiday sexy if I don't say so I don't
know what she's doing I just know the colors and they are very
sassy and so I'm thrilled I'm really excited about it and I think the the
colors they're going to they'll go into January and become really good even valentine colors so they're oh yeah G
like be good through the seasons here that we have coming up oh good good yeah no you're so good at that and I'm so so
grateful to you so thank you enjoy your evening with your babies um your babies

your sons finger because they've got me for
that and thanks everyone for hopping on and joining us um again the pocket moon
loom is still still available we're going to keep it up and um same price
through the holidays I'm not I'm not going to take that away from you I love you so much and whether you get the
pocket Loom or you get the uh big moon loom okay um and we're going to make
sure that you get the pattern I'll make sure that Robert includes that and so you know this size is great for the PO
holders for um that would be incredible like how are we going to beat across
that I've not tried it but I've woven I do the weaving I do you know fibers so
yeah we should do we should do a macroand oh yeah yeah we should do one where the the the warps become something
that you not together a v okay yeah it'll be fun
okay I love it thank you I love that I love that that's so so good all
right thank you everyone for watching and uh let's see yeah so Danielle do you
