Easiest Way to Create Beautiful V Shaped Fringe Jewelry

May 01, 2025

Danielle Wickes teaches how to make these beautiful fringe earrings, using a section of a loom pattern for the top. After she finishes weaving the beads, she shows how to remove the project from the loom and finish off the edges. She also demonstrates how to create a loop for the ear wire and how to make the V shaped fringe at the bottom of the earrings. Though Danielle is using the April Creative Soul kit, you can also create your own pattern for the top or use a section of a pattern you already own. These are techniques you can use in other loom projects...or even your beadweaving projects! Join Danielle for this Jewel Loom School tutorial and learn more techniques to expand your jewelry making techniques.

hey happy creative soul April earrings

video i'm going to show you how to make

these gorgeous little just I don't know

they feel Hawaiian to me it I started

with the idea of cherry blossoms to

match the bracelet um so that's kind of

where I was going with it and and then

this Hawaiian flower happened and so now

we have these gorgeous summer ready

fringe that um really complement the

bracelet still so I'm just going to show

you what they look like on really quick

and then we'll go ahead and just dive

into how to make them which is super

simple really really easy to do let's

see if I can make sure you guys can see

them bring them a little closer so what

do you think they're pretty cool huh i

like them just a fun little pair of

fringe to get your summer going and um

let's just show you how to make them

you're going to need your earring looms

and you're going to need your April

Creative Soul Seedbead

kit here's an up close view of the

earring beautiful loomed piece that has

a gorgeous fringe added to it and so

we're going to create its pair in

today's video so to get started you'll

want to have your earring loom handy and

we're going to put 12 warp threads onto

the earring loom and so to start your

warps you'll want to locate on the loom

the little

notch and tie a double knot to

it so there's

one and here's the second side of my

double knot and I left myself a little

tiny tail i use that tail to go ahead

and tie to at the end when I've got my

warps on but for now it might get in

your way so you can always just kind of

press it out of the other

direction just kind of hold it like at

the back like that it's kind of usually

what I do and bring your thread

around and we're going to want to bring

that right through the first

comb and then through the bottom comb

here and at the base

here

cross and go through the first comb and

then I like to use either my thumbnail

or my fingernail to hold that thread in

place while I bring it up through the

comb pull tightly and then head through

the next one we're going to work one for

one for a total of 12 warp strands to

get started

[Music]

all right and so there is my 12th warp

strand and it's easier to count them on

the side even when it's a light colored

thread you can just sit there and count

make sure you have 12 in total going

across your loom and turning at the

combs on the edges here and the easiest

way to

tie so this is to finish off your piece

or finish off your your strand is bring

it down through the comb that is a you

know headed from the one you're exiting

and then just kind of hold everything in

place and bring it over to meet your

tail thread where you can tie a double

knot and to hold everything steady while

you're making that knot if you want to

you can wrap

around the notch place where you do the

the knot the first knot just kind of

like wrap around like that one

time and then hold everything for a

second and go ahead and trim that thread

free from your spool at this point a

little easier to get that knot going

when you have your strands heading just

like that together so tail thread and

the last warp

strand and we'll just go ahead and do

one and two and once you've got those

tied you could even do a third just to

you know make it extra strong i don't

know so it might just be two is okay but

I hope there's some reason just do three

and then I'm going to trim those so

they're not in my way for my next

steps all right so there's our 12 warp

strands now if you want to make your

warps tighter me I feel like I like them

really tight so I put this tassel maker

in there and that makes them just tight

as a guitar and for me that makes it

easier to get my rows in and so let's

start a new strand

doesn't need to be super super long um

because keep in mind we're going to do

fringe using the warps so if you want to

just go with um you know maybe 45 in to

50 in or so probably

plenty and a hard beading needle and get

your needle

threaded all right right and so from

here you want to string on the first row

of beads which is 11 color A and leaving

a sevenin tail on the side that is to my

left cuz I'm right-handed so I'm working

with my beads over here um you want to

leave that sevenin tail underneath

you're coming underneath the strands and

stringing those 11 beads now if you like

this technique this is just my thing for

getting beads on i use my needle

temporarily going back through all the

beads as a

stabilizer and it makes it easier for me

to do this first step

here which is to get all those beads in

between the strands and if you get

something like that don't sweat it you

can always move

them and sometimes you can move them

more than one at a

time i find that once I get these lined

up it's a lot easier for me to line up

the

others these as in each edge right

looks like I've got them all but my edge

one there we

go so once you've got them positioned

and don't worry if they're cattywampus

don't worry if you're working in the

middle we're going to slide this go

ahead and pull that needle out you've

got those beads in there now working

with the eye side and this is pretty

important this will save you some time

working with the eye side of your needle

go back through the beads staying above

the warp strands

so push up on the outer wall of the bead

to make sure that you're staying above

these as you pass back through the

beads pull that

through and then business card or even a

bead scooper slide those beads down

somewhere toward the bottom this isn't a

very tall piece the loom piece is only

going to be um a few 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9

10 11 it's only actually 11 rows that

we're going to have to do so super quick

but get the um you get the beads kind of

toward toward the bottom there and then

string on your next

[Music]

row so the next row is going to go on a

lot easier you don't need to bring the

needle back through it just position the

first bead the one that's on the right

and then just roll the beads from there

right into their spots

and we can straighten all that out later

don't worry if it's not exactly lined up

and again working with that eye side go

through all those beads again heading

back staying above the

warp and pull that

through and then from here you can just

tidy it all up

so we're going to repeat just like that

until we finished all 11 of the pattern

rows and then we'll take it off the loom

and start adding our

fringe all right once you've got your

beautiful pattern

loomed we can go ahead and remove it

from the piece or remove the piece from

the loom so I'm just going to set my

tassel maker aside and to get the the

piece off of the loom the best way is to

just go ahead and

free the strand that is knotted here so

just the one that's knotted we're going

to use some cutters and you can use

scissors or flush cutters i've been

using flush cutters to gently lift the

knot see like that and the reason I like

doing that is because then my knots's

free from my loom for me to use it next

time

but you can always just trim the strand

itself and that works too and when when

you do that it will

free this edge one

here and you might have some of that

knot kind of just added to the end there

we'll just trim that and you'll have

this one free so you see you've freed

these two but these are still hooked

around and that's important because

we're going to use them as a way to pull

in our warp strands so just go ahead and

use your thumbnail to assist them off of

the

combs and that side should fall free and

the other side will just fall

off and so now you'll

have a lot of warp

strands and you'll have your two weft

threads these are the ones we were

sewing with there's the remaining

working thread and the tail ignore those

for now the two on the side and then for

these go ahead and just pull them in and

I'm going to just hold it up and show

you on a piece this small it's super

easy and it's going to give us a really

long warp strand which is great because

we can use it for our fringe so

whichever side you want um I'm going to

start pulling over here so that my long

strand ends up down here and my thinking

on that is just let me show you really

quick i want it to kind of mirror and so

I want to build my fringe down

here and you could also

say flip it like that but decide if you

have a side that you think is your

favorite to be the top it actually could

be either but I'm just showing you now

what I chose and I'm probably going to

create them to be worn like a mirror of

each other so based on that I'm going to

start pulling here on the side that my

WS are on and what'll end up happening

is my long strand will end up being over

here

so let's just hold it hold it tightly in

your hand grab the very edge warp thread

that's this one right here and pull it

and do you see the little loop here at

the bottom it should just connect right

there and now I'm going to take this one

which is the next one in at the other

side i'm going to pull on it

and what's happening here at the top of

the piece or this this slider here is

that loop will go ahead and

hug my edge

bead pull this one same

thing happening there on the other side

and you see the strand is getting longer

and

longer on a piece this small it's so

easy to just pull it with your fingers

on the the bracelet if you wa watch the

bracelet video

um you'll see that we had to use pliers

because the long strand going through a

bracelet is a little harder to pull but

this little piece super easy and you see

I was just freeing a loop that was

getting pulled

in and this is why we loomed with our

eye side of the needle if you're pulling

on your strands right now and it's not

not pulling

freely freely enough for you to just use

your fingers maybe you've caught one of

the warps when you were

weing in which case you will have to

weave in at least that

strand but hopefully if you use the eye

side to do your warping of those just

sweet 11 little rows there then you'll

have the ease of doing it this way

and always switching sides every time

you pull up then you switch to down and

there are going to start as this gets

long it's going to start to pull in the

others so just watch for

that there's that

one get in

there i'm going to go ahead and just

film the whole thing it's not going to

take us that long

so far so good and then we're going to

pull from this

side this this is going to be a pretty

long strand at this point so just keep

going as you get to where the loop is

small go slow so you don't pull too hard

and warp the edge of your piece here's

our last one

and so here's our strand that's going to

become the fringe

maker all right so now we have a fringe

strand down here and up here we have

several strands to work with and what

we're going to use one of these up here

the other two you can weave in but use

one to create this little top

loop so really quickly I'm going to stop

the camera and just weave in my strands

i'll weave in these two right

here all right zooming in here i'm going

to show you creating a little top loop

and so what you'll want to do is your

thread will be exiting this is I'm using

my left over weft thread and so I'm

going to just jump

over the warp strand that's on the side

and go through a few beads

and this is how I did the weaving in so

um if if that's new to you this is how I

did that you just pick up some

of the little weft threads that are

running through the beads those are the

ones you were creating as you warped and

what you'll want to do is just bring

your needle underneath them very gently

see to pick them up like that and this

is this is the weaving in method that I

used to do those other

strands bring that through and notice

where I'm exiting from i brought myself

to the center three beads of this

piece so bring that

through and now just go ahead and head

through however many beads you are down

you may have gone down more more or less

than me bring yourself to exit from that

center edge of the center three so for

me that's one two three four in one two

three four and so we're going to create

a loop of seed beads that jumps over

that middle row and connects to the top

row to look just like that so you'll

pick up two and then one of the pink and

then two of the uh the transparent

red back to

pink and then two more of

those and head down through however many

beads you want really we're going to

need to reinforce that but the goal is

just to go through a few of those beads

and then you'll want to go under we

threads again to move yourself right

back to underneath the one where the uh

strand starts so through

those and then head

up and reinforce all of

that if your other strand is trying to

join you just move that strand

away there we go

and as you're reinforcing if you want to

take a peek at the side of the warp

you're exiting from so the side warp if

you want to go down through the beads

passing on the opposite side it'll cover

up the warp thread on that

side so you see what I mean so right now

the bead you can kind of see watch what

happens there so now on both sides it's

snuggled on top of the

warp and so over here on this one I

still need to do that see so if you come

up through the beads from in front of

the warp thread in this

case it

will very um symmetrically settle this

loop you see how right now it's kind of

in front of it this strand that's

running the side head

up and make sure when the needle comes

out of that bead that it's coming out in

front of the warp strand and then go

ahead and head through those beads and

if you want to try to do that maybe in

two swoops it might be

easier just to make sure I stay in front

of that

strand

oops so like that

and then just head through

those my tension's pretty good so I'm

having a little struggle getting in

there i'm also really careful not to

puncture strands i don't know i just

always kind of meticulously work that

way but there see

now front and back that loop is staying

right where you might want it

to head up through here down through

here down through this

one and from here just head into the

beads and weave in the rest of this

strand there it

is so now put a needle on that long warp

strand that we left at the beginning

and notice that it is a warp strand so

it's running the side it is the strand

that's running this whole edge so you

want to go ahead

and jump

over and go under the

left around that bead the reason for

that is you don't want

to start your

fringe heading that direction right you

want it to head down so we're going to

go around the bead see and then down

through the bead

and that tip will save you having fringe

that's a little wonky as we make each of

these fringe strands remember the tip

that I gave you up here about this the

um direction so that it's straddling the

warp you can do the same thing here with

your fringe just take note that right

now I'm exiting it from the front of

that warp strand from the bead and as I

string my first pattern row of

fringe which in this case is just two

two two two and then one bronze in the

center and then we'll do two back out

just repeating

that two all the way to the

edge slide that down

and then I used the turning bead to be

this little clear bead because of my

thread is the same color and it kind of

hides the

turn so skipping that

bead go back up through all those

beads that we just

strung and then just take a quick note

remember what I was mentioning and see

I'm in front of that strand in front of

that warp go over it and behind

it as you head up the bead

and if you want to to make your fringe

really steady you can go through two

beads like I've done there i I do kind

of do that when I make a fringe on a

loom piece so from here hold that

turning

bead and just

pull get the tension right make sure

you're happy with it and there's your

first strand of fringe

from wherever you're exiting go under

those WS one and then the next

one so just like that we're going to do

this after every fringe strand is

added there you go and then heading down

to start the next

one and again I'm taking note that I'm

exiting in front of the warp there

i'm hoping that is easy to

see and now I'm going to string the next

strand for every single strand patterns

the same counts except for the

blue so every fringe strand starting

here you add one more to the blue repeat

so here's two see and then you go three

but everything in between is the same

then it's

four then five then six and then you'll

reach the center which is seven you'll

have seven blue and then it'll go to um

the same repeat and then seven more blue

then you'll start going a decrease six

five four three ending with two again so

go ahead and do that remembering to

straddle those warp threads so that on

both sides your fringe is completely

encapsulating it see you can't see the

edge warp anymore on this piece and

that's because after I string this next

one I'm going to come back up and go

through the bead from the other

side of that warp strand so just like

that see you just want to jump over it

and that is all there is to it let's

finish the fringe and then I'll show you

how to put it to um weave in one more

time after you've got all your fringe on

all right my last fringe strand

and I'm going to go ahead and just show

you one more time that see how I've

exited from in front of the warp there

i'm just going to go around go through

the bead this way and this time I'm

going to head up through a few more

because it's time to weave

in well I just got through two but there

go and so here's the last little bit

there they are all beautiful little

French strands there so weaving in just

going to go under a few weft

threads up through a few beads and

repeat and before you repeat that

weaving in step do one little thing

really quick um make sure the tension on

that last strand is as you like it

because this step will possibly tighten

it and so just double check that before

you keep going

your fringe should be pretty free

flowing and just go ahead and weave that

in and

[Music]

trim so there they are and keep in mind

if you want you can flip them so they

mirror each other when you're wearing

them like you can always have them be

like that so when you put your ear wires

on just decide which side you'd like to

have as the mirrored front and back and

depending on which way you did your

flowers you may even have them flipped

and that's okay too i think they're

beautiful no matter which direction you

wear them in and there you

are i hope you enjoyed this tutorial and

we'll see you for the next Creative Soul

project
