How to Make an Embellished Wall Art Hanging With the Large Sun Weaver Loom

January 31, 2023

In this 4 part tutorial, Tricia Giazzon shows the Ins & Outs of using the Large Sun Weaver, which is a sustainable Baltic Birch Wood Loom made for fiber weaving. By the end of Part 4, you will have a beautiful, embellished wall hanging. You can easily use all the techniques & advice from Tricia to create a wall hanging totally your own! One Jewel Loomer made a clutch out of hers. This is a great way to take your creativity out of your normal box.

In Part 1, Tricia discusses the Large Sun Weaver Loom's design & uses. She also shows how to warp the loom.

The Large Sun Weaver loom, made in the USA, comes with a stand, a needle, & a comb. https://jewelloom.com/collections/mixed-media-art-looms/products/weaving-sun-goddess-loom-kit-large?aff=6

In Part 2, we start weaving, using different kinds of lace & ribbons. Learn to use the Wood Loom Needle & Comb to make your project easier.

Did you know you can wrap warps around to the backside of the large Sun Weaver Loom to make a longer project?

In Part 3, Tricia shows how to remove this easy & beautiful wall hanging from the Large Sun Weaver & how to finish off the ends of this project.

As you make your wall hanging, think about all the materials you can use besides ribbons, lace, & yarns. For instance, consider using cut up materials, like denim or old shirts. Also, as you continue to grow in using your Sun Weaver, consider different types of cord or fabric you can use for the warps to give your project a totally different look.

In Part 4, she shows how to take your project up a notch by decorating it with beads, chains, charms, & brooches. Your own creativity will make this project your own easily.

What would you do differently to make this design your own? We would love to see your creations on the Large Sun Weaver.

Transcript - Pt 1:

hey everybody happy New Year welcome back we're gonna

be doing starting our new shows for this year

at our new time um my name is Trisha gaizon I am here on

behalf of jewel loom and we do some really fun live videos if you haven't

caught us before um we teach a lot about the Looms we teach a lot of pro uh projects just some

fun stuff that you can really utilize your looms for if you have not done so

be sure to like this uh video subscribe to the jewel loom YouTube channel don't

forget to do that we have lots of information on the jewel loom blog if you haven't uh checked out joelloom.com

go and head over there and check out the blog that's where we keep a lot of things over there a lot of teaching

videos Etc um also I do have a personal YouTube channel and it is Trisha's pink poodle

jewelry studio um if you want to head over there and give me thumbs up and a subscribe I

would also appreciate that so today guys what we're going to do is

we're going to learn a little bit about the large Sun Weaver this is a fairly

new product I mean it's been around a little while but um beautiful beautiful Loom we're going to

learn about that and we are also going to um warp the sunweaver this week

and get it ready for next week when we are going to start weaving on it with

some lace so I don't know exactly where I'm going to go with everything but

I am that is the plan anyway uh Robin says hello Trisha and everyone happy New

Year I hope that everyone had a wonderful New Beginning I'm ready for all the goodness of looming yes hello

Robin is it Ileana Eileena I I never do that right I wish I

did somebody needs to tell me but um it's so good I'm so glad to see

everyone here today as always so we are here New Year New You right and a

fabulous beautiful Loom this is our sunweaver goddess our son Weaver excuse me

I'm so used to the goddesses that we had um and she is a beauty this is the large

one there is a smaller one there hello Becky welcome in there is a smaller one

that is sold as well um but

this one here is 17 inches on the front here okay

and we have our regular um Grooms here and our step up here as we always do and

we have an opportunity with this Loom to

be able to actually take your warp around and warp on the back as well

so in essence you can utilize a 34

inches of space instead of just the 17. just by having

our set of grooves on the back okay

this actually comes not just a beautiful Loom that you have here it actually

comes with a comb and says Sunshine is the best medicine

we also have a gorgeous needle You Are My Sunshine a nice perfect size for this

Loom because you want a bigger needle if you're going to use a bigger Loom it works out better because of the width

okay this is actually eight inches wide this Loom so this will work perfectly

with it it is also looks to be about eight inches wide so works perfect and

then we have the larger comb and a lot of times we utilize this for

um when we're doing uh the weaving of the textiles you can just take that in there

and sort of push down your warps a little bit to kind of straighten everything and just kind of get in there

and get it straight it also comes with an absolutely beautiful stand okay

she is beautiful and you can decorate your stand you can

decorate all of your pieces that come with it we have done multiple videos on how you can color your

um beautiful wood here

um we have I was going to let you know this is made in the USA and it is made

from 100 sustainable balsa wood I believe

um so you want to keep that in mind it's a great product made right here in USA not made overseas perfect perfect

so I want to talk about what you can make with this so we can make jewelry of

course we can make jewelry we can make home decor we can do fashion items like scarves things like that you can do a

lot of creative product projects with us um you want to make sure what you're

taking care of your loom as I spoke we can paint we can do you know we don't

want to use any water-based products when we are um

decorating our our Loom what that means is I don't want you using watercolor paints I don't want to use an acrylic

paints you're going to want to use enamel based alcohol-based patina paints

um colored pencils even alcohol markers work but stay away from those water

water-based ones because anytime you have a thin or a wood like this it can

warp your loom easily it can warp that wood easily and we don't want to do that

with our beautiful Looms um you can just put like a light coating of

beeswax on it um if you just want everything to be kind of simple you you don't have to put

anything on it but you can do the beeswax if you want to keep it basically the same color and you can use stain you can do

glossier matte anything like that that you like um as I said paint that is

non-water-based okay so I'm going to turn it down here

guys and you're going to get a better look at what we have here and it'll be just a moment as I flip

this down hello to everyone hello yes this is our new time everyone

we're going to be doing 3 P.M please share this live around for us we also

appreciate that very much and don't forget to give us a thumbs up as always so let's flip this around

and go down to the surface so the camera is up very high today you

will see once it comes on it just takes a moment there we go I'm

going to turn my other light down so we can see a little better so you can see the camera's up a lot

higher than I usually do it only because so we can see basically the majority of our beautiful Loom

um and again you can see here better how these will fit this item perfectly and

beautifully and our stand so I'm going to move these items out of the way for now because I'm

going to show you how to warp your loom today

like I said long term plan for this next few weeks is we're going to work on our

sunweaver and we we're going to get to know her well basically because some of

our looms just need to get some love and get out there so there we go

um uh Joan has posted the link for us

um let's see I love the drawing on that Loom yes Becky it is gorgeous it is beautiful how they do that and that's

engraved in that's cut into the wood so it has a texture to it I can't wait to

get coloring on mine um so basically we're just gonna start and

we're going to tie I'm gonna have to move this out of the around here in weird angles so you guys

can see everything but we'll do it since this is larger so I'm just going to go down here on the

uh or up here on the top left it doesn't matter what end you start on to do your warping and this is just a

0.5 hemp you can use anything uh to work on this basically

um be careful when you're using items that have a stretch to it you don't want to pull it too much when you're trying

to Warp um because it'll get be a really floppy

warp for you I tend to stay away from anything that has um any kind of elastic in it or anything

like that so I'm going to lay my 0.5 hemp right in this first Groove here

and I'm just gonna pull that down here and we're going to do a lot of sliding around today guys

I'm going to move my bowls out of the way though because I need more room

and then I'm just going to pull that down now this is a

um Loom that does not have a bar in it you know our original Loom has the bar in it

which gives you more tension when you're all done even if you have a

little bit of give in it when you take that bar out that's going to give you your uh perfect tension okay this these

wood looms do not have that so you have to be very attentive to how you're warping it so you can keep that tension

so as I'm pulling this I'm keeping tension the whole time I'm doing it and

I'm going to go down here on this bottom one because I want some extra stability so I'm going to grab that go through

those grooves up through into the next Groove here and again keeping tension

the whole time this is a big mama Tulum or to warp guys

Warp

so you know it's going to take us a minute or two I want to make sure my tension's good I'm kind of checking that

because for me it's always this first one that I lose the tension on I don't know if anyone else has that issue but

um so I like to before I go too much further I always like to make sure see and it's loose so

I'm trying to make sure that I'm gonna get that tension the way I want it just kind of adjusting as I'm going yeah

there we go so I'm going to wrap it around the bottom here again you can't really see it I guess

as you can see here and then I'm just going to go through the next Groove keeping that tension I have a good bit

I'm pulling on this quite a bit but you don't want to be roughhousing your wood

looms or any of your looms for that matter you want to um keep in mind especially in your

original it's flexible not bendable these are slightly flexible but not not

much at all so you want to be very careful when you're warping okay so I'm just

going to go down here to the bottom again we're going to slide back into frame

and I'm going to go into the next Groove go down below

grab through that other Groove and across the top

now you can decide do you want to go in every Groove do you want to go every other depends on

the product that you're using I apologize for the dogs barking that's

part for the course of my house um you can decide on how wide you want your

um warps to be let me just give a heads up to my husband so he can

keep the dogs wrangled hair

okay so now we're just going to continue with our warping here

and I always like working with textiles that

seems to be something I like to do in the items that I make even on my pieces

that I sell so I in thinking about this

I couldn't decide what I wanted to use to weave with and I thought you know

Lace

what I'm always grabbing the lace whenever I'm creating pieces

so why not try it let's just try to make a really cool

piece with laces and ribbons

it could even be a wall hanging you know that's probably what mine will end up being is um

a wall hanging because it's going to be a larger piece and you can put a really pretty top on

it you can even just use simply a stick I know Amber had done a really pretty

pendant that she made um uh on our live that she uh just used

went out in the yard got a little stick and put it across the top as she weaved

it on as the pendant holder the top of the pendant so you could hook it into your

um piece of jewelry that you were making all right and I'm just going to keep

going on this guys this is going to take a little while

hi Zach I see Ms Zack is here from Michigan welcome welcome to everyone

who's coming in today I know this is a little strange three o'clock I know we're usually on at 7 p.m but this

really this time works so much better for me so I hope you're able to join us

every Thursday at three just continue

same way that's why I got this roll of hemp out because I knew this was going

to take quite a bit of hemp um does it

does anyone else um what do you like to weave with or put your warps on with on your textile Looms

give me some ideas on what you like to use I was gonna actually use sorry silk I'm

gonna try sorry silk at one point because I love sorry silk I would probably I don't know if I'd go every

one with my sorry silk as I'm doing with my hemp here but the nice way nice part of doing this you can put textiles in

but you can also put weave your textiles through but you can also put beads on it which is what makes it so gorgeous as

you weave in your textiles you can also weave in beads okay

so as we go we're almost halfway there guys

you can see why this is all we're doing this week

all right just keep at it

I have the smaller son Kelly says I have the smaller Sun Weaver and the larger

weaving goddess oh there you go what do you like to to use for your warps Kelly

I'm anxious to hear what Everyone likes to use on their goddesses and Sun Weavers

and it's staying pretty nice and taut now now that I I got that first half secured I'm keeping the the tension on

my hands as I'm going going around here and it's

staying pretty good for attention

okay all right

let's go I'm getting all all kinds of ideas as I am warping this thinking about what I could

do with this love this Loom I have one Melanie says

awesome what do you what's your favorite thing to warp with on this Loom Melanie

how about you Joan what do you like

and you know what guys I'm looking here and I'm gonna go back and fix this it's not the end of the world but you can see

I didn't grab my teeth down here on these on this uh warp right here so I'm

gonna actually take this out and I'm gonna go back to that one and do it correctly

okay I want to be able to keep everything consistent

so I'm going to put that back in where it's supposed to be grab my lower uh

grooves there and then continue on I just like

that the um these lower grooves here that stick out the top they to use those because it

tends to be able to help me keep my tension better on these types of looms

apps all right what did I do here

and even the best of us gets tangled up now and then

hope that I'm the best of anybody anything but there we go

so Melanie says I've only done the yarn so far can't wait to make the beaded

bracelet oh nice nice yeah that's a gorgeous one

your bracelet came out perfect the one that you did from last month's box Melanie I loved it everybody did such a

great great job and let's see um

avonda says are you going under the little teeth on both ends yes yes I am

dear Kelly says I have used hemp the new bamboo cord is almost as good as hemp

okay okay Happy New Year to Zach cool

so we're gonna get on this Adventure ride together guys and see what we can come up with on this beautiful Loom and

hopefully it helps us all learn a little better about this Loom and what beautiful items we can make with it

okay almost there sort of

that's fun though I don't mind warping I I don't it's like a therapeutic thing for me it always has been

I think that's what I'm going to work on this afternoon is our um our bracelet from this month

Bracelet

for for our Market from our workshops that is a beauty of course I'll put my own spin on it and

what that means you all know is pink but

it's always pink that's that's the spin

okay and we've got we're doing pretty good look at that guys that's a gorgeous warp

isn't it not just because I did it but in general this Weaver just looks phenomenal when

it's all warped up these are beautiful Creations as well as

perfect items to create on

our beautiful addition to any room if you put them up on their stand when you're not using them I've even seen

Melanie use her uh bigger looms as models for her pieces

love the colors this month yes Melanie it is absolutely stunning and it's nice

because then you can put whatever material you want in with this month's creative Soul you know Jules did the

denim which I'm in love with um but I'm gonna use I think pink sorry silk

hi Sherry hi oh and hi Brenda Brenda how's everything

glad you can make it to our new time I'm hoping this works out for everyone

thank you oops and see I skipped one so we're gonna go back

and let that up and put this where it needs to be

just always just keep track of what you're doing do as I say not as I do I guess

and

we're almost there guys now wait a minute okay guys are you

seeing this these are all learning experiences do you see that

that's no good that's that is loose down there so again we're going to backtrack

everything is fixable everything you can go back and just grab

that one and put it in through the grooves put it down through

where it's supposed to be and up and now we're we have that that's

taut now okay instead of being loose and hanging down okay

and we're almost there

working our way across

yes I believe we're gonna just make this sun Weaver month if you guys come up

come up with any projects that you're making be sure of course on any of the Looms but especially on the sun Weaver

this month I would love to see what everyone is making and coming up with

foreign so glad you were all able to make it to

the new time

we're gonna get everyone adjusted so we're gonna take a little bit of time but people will probably still be looking

for us at 7 pm for a while but hopefully we can get everyone adjusted

it's only a few more guys

foreign go back to the large butterfly

this butterfly is that what you mean Robin are you

talking to me even I guess is the question because I know you girls get into your own conversations on there

foreign

so I'm gonna back that one out because it's giving me it's being a bit fiddly

make sure everything is where I want it

still

looks like you skipped a Groove I skipped a Groove I skipped a Groove

wow

can you guide me into the direction of the skipped Groove

go back seven uh oh no

what did I do you are right Kelly right there good all

right all right let's let's fix that good I see that's my girl's

paying attention good job

I would have been like so disappointed when I tied that off

so as you can see it's easy to do and I'm preaching to you about paying

attention but you do need to keep your eye on what you're doing and try not to read comments in the live I

guess so let's go back we're going back quite a ways here

but this shows you that everything is fixable guys everything is fixable

butterfly okay did you skip a tooth on the top on

purpose no I didn't yes mistake you made go back okay

perfect everybody saw it but me okay here we are

the heck into the correct Groove I think so

Groove

yes everything looks very groovy

no pun intended I think I'm funny

all right guys thank you so much for that

even teachers are not perfect that's for sure we all learn together

yeah that butterfly I know it's beautiful isn't it Robin

this one on here they're gorgeous I think she did beautiful

design on this for sure okay we're making sure we're gonna stay in the grooves here

I was gonna bring my colored pencils up and work on coloring it with you but I

thought we'd rather um we can do that in another video if you'd like

um work on a project on it you know because that's where all of our Heart and souls are as we like to we like to make

projects so let's go into that Groove

guys keep an eye on me sun and butterflies matches the one in the earring charm kits yes it does

yes it does and here I tried skipping one over here guys it does match it

very very pretty so when you're carrying your loom around you could wear your earring

earrings that you made with the wood pieces and

you'd just be so matching the awesome

okay

I'm just going to kind of concentrate here guys because we're getting up to the end and I don't

want us to have any more trouble

oh that's a job

[Laughter]

and then back that one up smidge

go right here

that's my dog if you hear the noises guys that's my older dog

okay we are getting there

yes that's right Kelly no watercolor paints I did discuss all that at the

beginning so if you missed it you can go back and listen to on the replay

um I did give some suggestions on stuff that you can use but you don't want

anything water-based as Kelly said because it's gonna

warp your loom and no one wants that

you've got it now honey yep [Laughter] I you know I get it eventually Zack you

know we figure out and I think we are good you guys check me out before I tie off

but I think we did okay we're in good business

Cutting

okay so now I'm just going to turn this as toward me and kind of back it up here

so you guys can see I'm gonna move this keyboard because I'm going to type something and I'm just going to cut

wrap this around a couple times and then I'm going to cut it around this back tooth

this larger tooth on the far left and then I'm just going to cut my

are you helping me of my little Kaylee in here helping me um

and you're just gonna tie it off just like you do on any of your other Looms

you're going to want to tie that off go in under those loops

it's a little awkward for my hands to work correctly but I'm sure you all have hands that work

better than mine unfortunately that was one of the things

I lost there's so much coordination in my hands

but that's okay we gained so much more don't we

just keep on going all right so I'm just tying that off

I'm gonna do another one [Music]

there

cool come on out sir

no Kaylee boy they have just been on a roll today

haven't they guys okay I use my tweet or my pliers there

to kind of pull the string through because I want to be able to

okay pull that through easily

and I was gonna get her out of here

all right so you've got that tied hey

come on lay down

the littlest opening in the blind she can look out and bark at someone but hey

I haven't trued the alcohol tried the alcohol markers yet my granddaughter got me a 24 piece set yesterday they look

fantastic on your um on your wood looms I love them because

they're very like the colored pencils are beautiful too but they're muted so if you like a brighter color

then you will definitely like the alcohol markers on the on the pieces of

wood on your earrings or whatever that you do make so we are warped here guys and we are ready

for next week make sure for next week you gather up your laces and trims and

whatever else get your sunweaver warped and we you can work along with me as we

create a beautiful wall piece let me just get my camera turned around here

okay there we are ooh alcohol marker Sherry I've never

Transcript - Pt 2:

hi guys we're back we're back it is Thursday at three o'clock Eastern time

and here we are again I'm excited to see that Robin already commented that she got her sunweaver and it's warped and

ready to go so that'll be really fun Robin can you can make along with me I

you are watching the replay to please share that with your friends there is a link there for sunweaver if

you haven't gotten the chance to get yours um my name is Trisha guys on by the way

um I am here for jewel loom as always and I want to let you guys know that

appreciate a thumbs up and a subscription to my channel I always try to put up um unique and different

versions of making some fun stuff so today we're going to talk about the

sunweaver again and we're gonna get into doing our project so let me just switch my camera around

hello to everyone that's coming in let me just switch my camera so we're

down on the top on the desk here okay

just takes a minute no one panic there we go there we go

um here is our sunweaver that we warped I can't fit the whole thing in there at the same time but because that's about

as high as my camera will go but you can see last week we did warp this beauty

and get her ready to go to receive some fibers I'm going to use some ribbon some

lace some fibers just to kind of make myself a beautiful wallet hanging for my

studio right now I'm gonna do um some colors of Browns Tans whites

um beige things like that these are the ones that I've pulled maybe do a pop of color with that mustard

um so these are all um just odds and ends of ribbons that I had that

I bought from Michael's or if I um

uh you know picked up here or there so um Joan did post something here guys as

a reminder the sun Weaver like all the jewel loom wood looms is made of sustainable Baltic Birch and is made in

the USA so make sure you keep that in mind it's an awesome product and the way

that it's done is also fantastic so we're going to start weaving we have

our needle here that comes with the beautiful sunweaver and I have my little

comb so if I decide I can push down my fibers and my rivets and guys it's

just as simple and make sure you have a piece of our excuse me not a piece of but a pair of scissors handy too

and it's just as simple as picking out a ribbon and I'll put this here so you

can kind of see where we're going to start let's start with a little piece of lace

how about that this pretty lace and these are fairly long pieces but

um I mean this is quite a width but I think we'll still have some extra on the end

so I'm just going to start by putting my lace just through the hole in my needle

and I'm just going to start right to left because that's what works best for me when I'm doing these kind of projects

and we're just going to start by going over under over under

over under the whole way across now you can

warp this so you have bigger widths in between your

um warps you have more space between your warps so say you could skip two or three

of the grooves and make yourself some more room if you wanted to do that

I am actually going to try doing this by in in a few more steps here by by

skipping Looms in between so I'll go say over this outside one and then go under

four or five of them or over four or five of them just to kind of see how it works

and I think we might be able to do that just to kind of incorporate some bigger

uh ribbons or laces into it let me know if you've ever tried anything like that

and you can see here guys I just started like right above this base piece because I want to make sure I have the string or

the hemp to tie it off and my idea let me see where I put my little I probably

won't be able to find it now oh here it is I found this gorgeous piece of heart lace

and I think I want to incorporate this across the bottom of my piece once it's all done so I want to kind of leave

enough room that I can can do that whether I'll glue it on to then I don't haven't decided yet but I know I'd like

to do that so we're just going to pull this lace across okay

and it's laying that way I'm fine with that and then I want to position it where I

want my first piece to be which is about right there

and then I'm just going to take on this outside warp here I'm just going to tie

a simple knot around this outside warp to hold on my

lace okay to attach my lace to the hemp because we want this to be

secure as well as beautiful so I'm just going to give that a little squeeze just to kind of get that pull this across

make sure make sure guys when you're adjusting when you're pulling you're not warping warping your warps basically by

making them out of shape okay so now we have that side in

so I think I'm going to continue maybe with another row of this above and this

is just you know play as you go decide what you like as you go

this is the uh large Sun Weaver here Sherry

I think Joan has the link for it there for you guys in the chat

yes this one's really cool you'll make a lot on this and you can also

um use use it front to back and make some really pretty long pieces

and we're just doing the same thing we're just going over under and that's really as far as a as a uh

textile project like this um those are the basic steps it's just a

matter of designing your piece as you go

with what materials you want to use and we're just going to do some lace and ribbons let's do something a little

different here I love my lace I use lace in a lot of my pieces that I make ribbons and sorry silks and stuff so

this is right up my alley so I'm going to pull this across

so we have our two rows of that

now I'm going to kind of adjust this Loop here because I want it to be a little

bit more flat against the the edge of my warps you could certainly

have tied this and made a knot and then did the next one but this doesn't bother me I don't mind that this is sticking

out I'm just gonna kind of I'm working on adjusting that to where I like it and

see this one went in the other way so it kind of looks really cool because with two different directions right there

so that's kind of cool right let me spread that one out a little bit

all right and then I'm just going to tie this one off over here as well and then we'll maybe use the other piece

as we go it's just over and we have our scissors handy there

okay I'm just going to tie it a knot just

like we did on the first one all right

I hope everything is going smoothly for those following along with us here as always if you have any questions

please leave them in the comments for us we'll be happy to answer them

okay so I'm just gonna snug that up a little bit

and then I'm going to cut the lace off and we're going to go into

something else so let's do it's so hard to decide when you have so

many choices you know I like this this measuring tape ribbon is super cool so I

think we're going to try to incorporate that a little bit whoops sorry guys

and again I'm just putting that through the needle foreign

and then we're going to start the same way we're going to go over and

under the way across

and these needles are designed specifically to work with these these type of looms and they are Priceless

they work fantastic on these Looms and the width is just perfect

um to get you the whole way across so you can get your needle across and

then once you're sure you're through the warps the way you want to be you can pull that needle and it puts your

material right where you want it okay so again I'm just going to pull

that through as we did before

let's move that down that's kind of cool I like that and I'm just going to take this little comb and put it in my warps

and just kind of compact everything a little bit because I wanted to be sitting fairly

close together remove that actually to tie a knot and then we're going to tie knots on

both sides of this one

now once I get this textile done which will take us a little while but

um we may I may go back and like sew some beads into it as well

so that'll be fun just get like um you can get like a check mix

um Jules has all kinds of a medjoolum.com that you can get and just pepper in through on top of your

textiles that looks really cute that's like

um our project in December our Cree our jewel loom Jewel box was

um using the textiles and the beads and

then pepper and the beads in on top of the textiles it was super cute

when learning fibers do you ever add a few row of beads for stability or is

that not necessary Terry you can add the beads on top you can add the beads in

um you can certainly do whatever I haven't found that I need it for stability

I think if you leave your fibers in and knot them off correctly on the edges you

won't need that for stability it'll be fine but as always you know more the

better so definitely feel free to put your beads in if you'd like to

we're just gonna go pure textiles today so I'm gonna get my needle and then this is

a wider one so let's see how this one goes across I think it's going to look really cool

okay so same thing right above the other

yeah I couldn't wait to get into this project I I've been looking at my warped Loom for a week and I'm like oh I can't wait

to put those laces into it and the Browns and tan and white just go

well so well together I think so I'm just gonna lift this warp up because I'm having trouble

getting it up where I want it so I'm just going to lift that just slightly and then continue

across okay and try to keep your knit your needle

fairly straight it helps to keep things in order as far as when you pull it

through okay it keeps things neater and you're not trying to pull the

textiles down as well as well as a cross okay oh look

at that one now it twisted a little bit I think

we'll be able to get the the twist out of it pretty easily yep

so I'm just gonna adjust that across the way that I wanted it

so I have room to tie and then I'm just going to take

my little comb and work that down and compact it

I think I'm gonna have to put a little bead mat under us here because we're Slip Sliding Away and I'm not liking

that too much this may help let's put one up top too

much for good measure guys there we go maybe that'll help move she

won't move around so much on us okay so we have our bigger piece of lace in there

yeah Terry that needle is fantastic I mean all the needles that are made for

the uh wood looms like this they're just like I said they're

irreplaceable they really make the projects easier so again just tying a knot

wouldn't it be pretty just though as to Terry's point just to sew some beads

right on top of this lace right through that metal part that has the the you

know the material going down through it so again I'm just going to cut

and tie off that's a little shorter than I like to have to tie off but it'll work

hopefully let me take my little needle here and help me

put my material through the middle of my knot

so I can get that through

it's like you making your own fabric yeah it kind of is Zach it kind of is

uh Deborah says I use silicone baking sheets under my things to hold them while I work that is brilliant

yeah a little peekaboo lace put some beads down the middle that'd be great

wouldn't it Terry I'm just still fighting this guy here

don't cut your material too short or you'll be doing this do as I say not as I do you know that

guys you know that no

all right I think

there she comes all right so put this back in the place I wanted

it so I don't have my warps messed up here and

I think we're good natsuki there okay so fun part again let's pick out

some more fun stuff

and we're going to use this really pretty floral ribbon next

again putting it down through the hole of our needle just like threading a needle but it's way easier because the

hole is so much bigger and the material is so much bigger so we're just going to work this across

okay

now when I if you guys remember I used the 0.5 to warp this

um so sometimes the the strings being thinner it's a little bit of a trick to to grab them it's not too bad but

sometimes you just have to take them and lift them up a little bit just to kind of get things where you want them

okay again we've got a Twist so we're just

going to work that to get that to flip over for us I'm just taking my fingers down between

the warps all right

and I kind of like the way this lace is laying

um you could certainly push it down further and give it more of a bunched look I'll show you that

okay you could certainly do that too um but if you want to open like I had it you

can certainly do that too see if I can get it there we go

okay there's a little Floral and I'm just going to cut the ribbon

here

right Vicky you are correct on that it is not as crucial to have the warp so

tight and you know as tight as it is when you're stitching in beads that's a very

good point my friend all right so you guys are getting the

idea kind of going with the flow here

all right

so tying that off and

putting the ribbon in the position that I want just making sure it's

next to that lace and then I'm going to tie this side off

foreign yeah that would be pretty that would be

pretty too doing it like ruching I did kind of like that maybe we will

do that Zach I I think I'll just like it better

let's do it there we go let's see what this one looks like a little bit

oh yeah that's better I am liking that better actually cool you guys are so smart

all right see what we have here how about some furry stuff guys does that sound good

see if we can pepper in a little bit of this

this is so fun I love this is one of my favorite things about living is doing the textiles

and having the choice to build your pro project like that with the materials versus the beads I do love the beading

part believe me but um

the textiles are certainly fun as well all right and we're just doing the same

thing just slowly weaving back and forth

okay almost across there

Robin says I'm using a Bernat Casa mix quesa mixed yarn

texture in teal Sea Foam and cream color oh my gosh Robin post that girl I want

to see it that sounds gorgeous absolutely stunning please make sure and

post that in the jewel loom um jewelry making with jewel loom group

please I would love to see that I'm sure you're all going to make beautiful projects

always do

okay in this end

some awesome come on

little strings are a little tricky there we go

so we're getting there building our little project here

I want to use this green in here somewhere but I don't know I probably should have

enough to get it across um but let's pick something later right now

okay how about this this is fun I had these all neat laid out perfectly

beautiful and you can see what I'm doing to them over here that's the fun part right that's part

that's one of the fun parts of doing it making a mess so this is what I picked

we're gonna play with this here this would also be a pretty one to sew beads into the voids of it

I just picked up some lion mandala Yarns that will be perfect for this great

Terry I'm so excited to hear that

and thank you Joan for putting that up for me sweetie

you guys are the best I love working with you guys and doing

these lives with you that brings me so much joy

okay

okay oh let's see this is going to be a fun one to get across

we're gonna have to work it across by moving these warps just kind of giving it a little pull I

don't wanna pull too hard because we just want to work it over it's really thick to be

going across so you can see I'm just picking up my warps and then just giving a pull and then moving my warps

give it a pull I just don't want to mess up our warps

here as we're doing this so we're just going to take it slow and gentle across being very careful that everything stays

in place as we go

okay

I mean you know me I have to try if it's something different I have to

try it I'm one of those what what do you have to lose try it you know

if it doesn't work take it back out right I've always been that I was taught that

growing up it's gonna hurt to try try it

especially in arts and crafts and beading and all that it

um most of the time you can pretty much fix anything so

that's what I figure so I'm just going to tie this one off and I did give that just a little push down just to kind of

uh make it more together use the ruching effect as Zach said

okay it went like that one in there I like it you guys think so far

this is a wonderful form of therapy guys just doing these types of projects

okay oh that one's cool I like that

I need it really Vicky says um oh good you found your combs Terry uh

Vicky said I need a really big needle because this like jeans or leggings on

[Music] they're Goofy and they have needles too yay okay good you guys are getting this

all sorted out good job all right let's put this little

piece of green in with that little pop I think that would be pretty

okay I'll put that through and don't forget guys if you are looking for products or my links are always in

the description and I it's so greatly appreciated if you

use my affiliate link it doesn't cost you anything extra it just helps me out

so thank you ahead of time for that

all right so we're just going to do the same thing work it across

this one's thinner so it'll come across pretty easy

yeah I was gonna do pink on this as you all might think but um I'm like I gotta do something

different for those girls all I do is Pink so I thought well wouldn't this be

pretty okay

and um like I said for the ribbons and stuff I think this was one of the mixes that

Michael's carry sometimes where they have like a whole bunch of different types of um textiles together

works well because they've already done the workout for the colors you know

but I definitely like the idea of doing the Yarns you know I like my fuzzy Yarns so we're

just going to tie this one off

okay and then push that down a little bit

okay I think I'm gonna do I think I have a yes I do I have a dark

brown of those tape measure ribbons I really like those I think they're cool they're kind of

vintage looking you know so we'll put that through our needle

just like so and this will be our last one for today guys

let's get this little guy secured

okay

all right so we cut that one across

this little guy over here very cute

I think this needs some feather feather Rose oh girl

I have feathers and in this color family too actually I

think I have them handy right here that would be so cute look at that wouldn't that go good

yeah I'm always up for some feathers

yeah I use all this kind of stuff in a lot of the pieces that I make um for my Etsy business which if you

haven't checked my Etsy Shop out guys give it a little peek my links are all

in the description but I um I like to work a lot with all that kind

of stuff it's fun over the top of it's over the top I'm all for it so

hey guys so that's a good place to stop for this week let me get my camera turned around

[Music] so you guys have the basics so work on

that for next week um and we'll continue with our project next week and possibly sew some beads in

um and then we'll see the following week we will probably end up taking it off

the loom and adding the lace that we want to um at that point so we'll be good to go

so I hope you guys have a great weekend this weekend and as always I love being

here with you enjoy you so much and thank you for always supporting us and sharing

our lives and all of our other videos thank you Deborah thank you everyone

have a wonderful weekend I'll see you next week guys bye-bye

Transcript - Pt 3:

hey guys welcome in welcome in it's

Thursday again and it's time for some

fun

today we're gonna be working with the

sunweaver once again we're going to be

doing another step in our process you

can see this is the the

um progress that I've made I hope you

all has you have had a chance to work on

yours as well

um my name is Trisha gaizon I'm here on

behalf of jewel loom

we do have sorry guys I'm kind of being

distracted here apologize let's get rid

of that

um we actually have a YouTube channel uh

Joel Loom and we also have a Blog that

you can visit don't forget to stop over

at Joe loom.com I also have my own

YouTube channel and social media that's

uh Pink Poodle jewelry Studio

and we see I see here we got some guys

coming in here let's see oh there

Danielle there's Bonnie and Zach hi guys

so good to see all of you always

so good to see you oh I was playing with

some beautiful John Beads today Daniel

my favorite rose color

hi Nicole hi everybody

we'll give

um you folks just a couple minutes to

come on in there's my link for my uh

link tree which you can find all of my

social media on there I do like I said

have a YouTube channel and on that I do

instruction so we do jewelry instruction

which is fun I enjoy doing that

but let's turn the camera down here guys

and we're gonna get to work because we

do have some limited time here so let me

turn my camera

be just a moment

hi Sabrina yay

okay here we are this is the Beast

this is the work that I've gotten done

on mine I've used various laces and

ribbons

um just a variety of stuff I use like

this piece of um almost feels like

corduroy or something like that I

thought that would be a really pretty

place to sew in some beads and if you

notice here guys

I did a lot at the bottom I did

um everyone and then I did some

where I did like every other I did some

where I did every three every four I did

and then back up here I did every one

that I went through so what I'm saying

is on the warps I went through all the

warps on some of them and only a few of

the warps on the other

I found that works uh for the bigger

pieces that you want to use such as this

or this

um these big fluffy pieces things like

that if you don't go through all of them

um it kind of gives you a different look

you can see how this is kind of puff

enough

puffing up here words

and like this one I wanted to make sure

to be able to have

The Fringe sticking out you know because

you know me more is more

this and Nicole this is actually the

sunweaver it's fairly new

um I don't know if you can see there we

go at the bottom

um it's fairly new this is the large

which I absolutely adore and love she is

absolutely gorgeous and so fun

I really enjoyed this project only

because if not only

um because it's so therapeutic to do

this in my opinion it's a very

therapeutic

um to be able to just weave and just go

natural and just smoothly and you don't

have to worry about perfection it's just

a fun

um project so you can kind of check out

on it a little bit when you're working

on it and kind of just relax

so that being said guys we're going to

cut this project off of the Loom today

and we'll show you how to tie it off I

do want to add some beads and some other

Trims and charms and stuff like that but

I don't know that we're going to time

for that today we will definitely do

that next week if we run out of time

so all I'm gonna do here guys and it's

going to be hard to see because it's

such a large Loom but do the best we can

here so I have tied off

my hemp on either side here when I

started and when I ended so all I'm

gonna do here is simply just take a pair

of scissors and you want to make sure

you're supporting your work always

making sure that everything

is okay and we're just gonna trim with

that kind of blocks you but we're gonna

trim those warps

away

okay

and as I'm going across I'm just

snipping them

I've left plenty of room on my work

to uh be able to tie this off with no

problem

and we're just snipping along here we

have lots of

I think I counted and there were 37 or

38. grooves so

there's quite a lot you can do with that

many grooves

to be able to create with

almost there in this side

oops those two and then that one

so let's see if we got all of them yes

we did

She's a Beauty

and then I'm just gonna lift my project

up and off

okay so let me set her to the side so

she doesn't get

broken for sure let me just clear this

so it's nice that Danielle has joined us

today because I'm actually going to use

one of the techniques that she showed us

which is super awesome I'm just going to

work these loops

down so we can go ahead and

um we don't have to tie the top off or

the bottom whatever it's going to be

um and then we can use this end and put

whatever we want our hanger to be on

this end okay so this is just a little

challenge for me to see if I can get

this to work and yes it looks like it's

going to

and I'm just going to pull

here's my warp I'm looking for

and I'm just going to gently pull down

on these and I don't want my work to

curl up as I'm doing it we're just going

to take it nice and slow

we're going to pour Loops down

that one

and you don't want to make you want to

make sure you do not warp your work just

go nice and slow

okay

hi Maria

yes we love Miss Daniel

she is a talented lady for sure

all right so I'm just working that down

you can see we got our first one down

here and it's just going to finish that

side for you now what you could do since

these are Loops if you wanted to just

stick your

you know if you're going to use a stick

in here or a metal rod or whatever you

could put that in and just put it in

that way I think I like to tie mine on

because what I'm thinking is

um that I can add beads and charms and

stuff like that around the the posts

that I'm going to use at the top by

using the hemp

just tie them onto the hump you know

so I'm just gonna pull these down I'm

still working here

and this is what we're gonna do

and I see Joan did put up that the

sunweaver is made of sustainable Baltic

birch wood

and the USA so guys keep that in mind we

always want to we always want to support

small business and we always want to

support folks who make an effort to uh

use sustainable products

okay so we're going down here

this is working great

this was like a test for me so I thought

we could just we could just learn

together and see if it would work on

something like this

and it looks like it might

I always like trying out

new techniques on

different items you know

all right so we're good there

see if we're going to grab this one

and we're just going to do the same

thing

and

just want to make sure you're keeping

your

hemp straight

as to what you're going to use here

to pull down your loops

foreign

and I'm kidding keep my hand up here as

I'm pulling this because I do not want

my work my work to get all

out of shape I want to keep everything

the way that I made it

and you can see how we're doing there

and then just pulling and it looks like

Joan has posted that the care of your

sunweaver is actually uh been done into

a video and I believe Miss Jones did it

didn't you Joan

um yes she sure did so go head over and

watch that video on how to care for your

wooden looms uh Joan is a genius

explaining everything and you definitely

want to go check that out

and support Miss Joan and Joel

okay

I know guys it's like watching paint dry

but it's the process

there's no hurry Along on this

just take your time

I'm really digging the style

hi Melanie

hi Deborah oh thank you so much so much

Deborah

so always so glad to see all of you

foreign

we are getting there

oh thank you I'm so glad I'm so you are

I'm so glad you are inspired because to

[Music]

you know use different items outside the

box you know me that's always what I am

is I like to be outside the box and

try things and if it doesn't work it

doesn't work but

always try new things especially with

your Looms

they're so versatile and there's so so

much you can do with them

I just want to make sure my top here

doesn't get messed up so

sort of pull those up a little bit

and that's the nice thing you can kind

of readjust as you go until you tie it

off you know

oh thank you Deb

you guys are so sweet

I don't know

we got a great group of girls here

that's for sure okay so we're right

let's see which one's gonna work for us

this one yes

foreign

just as I'm going I'm making sure I'm

not squishing down my ribbon on the top

too this will probably be the bottom but

on my bottom too much there I kind of

want it to stay the way that I put it

all right

we're getting there guys

okay okay

looking good

about halfway there

just want to get that there it is

sometimes you just kind of gotta

try different strings especially when

you have so many of them

thank you Marianne thank you so much

thank you Melanie

you've been coloring your loom Melanie

that's awesome

that's always fun to do

I love doing that

okay

foreign

to our next one here

down

okay

okay those are a little bit Tangled so

I'm just going to make sure I get those

untangled as I'm working so I can keep

straight what I'm doing here

let's see if you guys can still see

because I tend to move my work close to

as I'm working

we all do that

and here I'm just testing to see

I want this Loop to go down so I'm just

trying to see yep that's the one I think

nope next one

there we go

there it is

it's just very important that you work

slowly guys doing this I know I've said

before but

you do not want to mess up all your work

okay

and don't be afraid to also for your

warping guys try different things

for your warping because

that'll give you a different look

when you use different items to warp

your moon

there's lots of ones I still want to try

lots of items I want to try to work with

just as long as it's not stretchy

I mean even at that if it is a little

stretchy you just

if you use one of the wood Looms

it's a

will be better than putting it on

necessarily but something that has a bar

or you can just leave you can leave your

bar in on your original

while you do it

and just don't take it out at the end

because

that way then

it's not going to stretch whatever you

have there that goes with leather as

well the wooden looms are fantastic for

leather they're great for um

something like that that you don't want

to stretch out I mean they're great for

everything but especially on items like

that

this month I think we're using uh yes we

are in our

um jewel loom Jewel box we're using a

a stretchy cord I believe it's repeat

correct me if I'm wrong Joan but I think

it's called repeat from beadalon

is it yes okay

yeah that's going to be

so it looks so soft to lay your arms on

and to rest beautiful thank you

it is soft and it is I I you know I

think it's beautiful and I I put my time

and my heart into it and that's that's

all that matters is that we like

what we're doing and enjoy the process

right

almost there

two more guys

now we don't want our little ribbon here

in the end to slide out too so you want

to be careful of that oh thank you

Nicole thank you honey

I thought it was something different for

me I'm always doing pink and pastels and

I mean this is light but it's not my

usual color palette so trying to

you know be outside the box here a

little bit

we almost got her

don't want to rush at the end and then

mess everything up

and I'm just gonna go back through once

I get this last Loop pulled and I'm

going to adjust my bottom before I

my bottom ribbon before I tie this off

okay

you can just see I was moving my hand

back and forth

you can put lightweight beads on the

bottom yeah well this is going to be the

top I'm going to tie my but you could

certainly put

any kind of beads you could use this as

your top if you wanted to sew in

something

um but yeah that'd be great you could

put like strands of beads down here some

beautiful seed beads like even like

three O's I think uh yes as a matter of

fact I do know uh Jules has just put in

these really cool

3-0 seed beads guys those would be

perfect on the bottom of something like

that

I want to get some and try them

they are beautiful okay so now that I've

got the top done here all pulled in now

I'm going to start tying off the bottom

okay

I've got everything the way I want it up

there

and I'm going to put this here so you

can see clearly

and I'm just going to start tying

off my project

okay

simple as just tying some knots on the

bottom again you don't want to Warp

your bottom

Ribbon or any of them for that matter

but especially as you're tying you don't

want to mess up here

your ribbon and I'm just tying as we

normally do when we take our hemp off

to tie the ends to secure everything in

place I'm just doing a double knot there

and I'm just going to go the way across

doing that

just making sure all my threads are

where I want them

and

it's tying

double knots

okay

I'm just trying to keep

all the threads separated so I know what

I've tied what I've not tied

but

enough that it's secure

all right

so that goes with that so let's do

yeah

these two and I'm just picking the ones

that are side by side and just tying

those that's the easiest way to do it

you could also if you wanted to and you

didn't want to do single knots across

here you could grab you know three or

four of them and just do one big knot

with them that would be cute

I'll show you that

just by taking three or four strands and

then you're just gonna

put that into a big knot

that'll give you a different look so if

you wanted to put some of the single

knots some of the

you know multiple knots

I would definitely give you texture and

interest in your project

so I'm just working that out just like

tighten in that

and see that's going to give me a

different look as opposed to the single

strands okay

but I like to do I like to keep them you

know interesting and do multiples of

each but

um next week before we get too far here

we will be

um finishing decorating our piece we're

going to be adding some beads and charms

Etc on here

so that'll be fine I have some ideas to

put

um some beautiful lace that I found

maybe just across the bottom

and do some great

do some beads dangling from the bottom

maybe and

uh what was I thinking sorry guys I want

charms too I have lots of cute charms I

would like to put on it I remember amber

made me one and I'll have to bring it up

next week to show you guys she made me a

beautiful wall it was a smaller version

but it was the same kind of concept used

all kinds of ribbons and laces and

um sorry silks in my colors that I love

and she made this really cool piece that

reflected me she had everything I love

on there just like

she had Owl charms and she has all kinds

of like friends things and just

beautiful so you can make these personal

and make them gifts for folks you know

that's

that's something that they're not gonna

find anywhere else and it's going to

mean so much to them because they know

you were thinking of them as you were

making it and putting it together

I know I talk a lot that's what my

husband says

[Music]

I wish I could hear you Joan Joan and I

are having some uh technical

difficulties this week where I'm not

able to hear my friend so

that's okay we work it out don't we John

almost there

do a couple more of these big ones

let's get that last thread through there

because there are shorter ones and

longer ones

just make sure you get them through the

knot

where'd you go now

there he is

as you're tying

now this is very earthy this is very

it's not perfect if if you're looking

for something to be

perfectly honed you can certainly do

that

um but my idea on this was to keep it

kind of you know to have a flow and to

just kind of look unique and earthy

you know but you could do something

that's you know very much

like we could go through every one of

the warps

on every piece of material that you use

and then you know do a very neat finish

on the bottom you know there's a hundred

ways you can uh make this make these

projects work for you for sure

a lot of strings to tie

almost there

I'm gonna do a few singles

yes and as always

feel free to contact Jules with any

questions on anything

to do with your Looms

so we're gonna do one more on the end

here

make sure I have that

where I want it

pull that through

a little bit and then I'm going to go

back and make sure I have everything

tightened and neatly assembled the way

that I want it to be make sure all of my

ribbons are in the place that I want but

that's the basic concept guys we've took

we've taken it off the loom today and we

have tied our knots to secure it in

place and pulled our Loops down so we

have a really nice looking bottom to it

or top whatever whatever way you want to

use it so I'm going to turn my camera

around here guys

foreign

so yeah this was fun we got this far and

we're gonna add some beads to it next

week I have some really cool gold beads

I want to attach to it like I said some

charms and maybe some other uh laces

anything like that yes Sherry thank you

so much beautiful Laurel art and she

calls it rustic that's the word I was

looking for rustic

um I appreciate that thank you everyone

thank you

I can't wait to see how I finish it

either I have some ideas but so next

week make sure you bring your wildfire

and your needle and your project and any

kind of beads or anything that you want

to add on

to your project charms I mean pretty

much the sky's the limit buttons you

could put a lot of different things on

it so for this week guys I'm gonna sign

off and we'll see you next week to get

this project all tied up thank you so

much Nicole thanks guys bye-bye

Transcript - Pt 4:

hey everybody welcome into Julian School live my name

is Trisha gaison I am here on behalf of Jill Loom today and this is going to be

part four of our sun Weaver experience for the month of January

um we've had some fun Parts where we started out by warping in part one and then in part two uh we did some weaving

and in part three we took it off the loom and tied everything up and this

week we're going to be doing some fun embellishments onto the piece that we

created and this is the beautiful Loom that I'm talking about here actually I still have my thread on there and there we go the

sun Weaver this is the large sunweaver which is absolutely stunning let me make sure I get it in the camera here

beautiful beautiful and makes beautiful pieces

just love it beautiful so that is what's going on today I'll let you guys come on

in and join

today is going to be so fun I do want to start out by showing you the piece that

amber made for me I promised you last week that

um I would show you that piece so I'm gonna go ahead and turn the camera down here

let's see and remember it gets back for just a moment but we're all good

this is my beautiful piece that amber made for me I just wanted to show you

this because there's a lot of good ideas on embellishing your pieces on here

you can see she did it in my colors the pinks the purples and whites

and then up here at the top she used some sorry silk to tie on she put a cute

little pin up here she did some chain with different kinds of charms that represented me

um some cute beads that were screaming my name and the sorry Silk's gorgeous

there's some more chain down here with an owl let me turn this light down that'll probably help you some there we

go with another owl and a cross just really cute

very well done this hangs in my living room from one of my little hangers

little quote on there some beads little beads with the name on and things

like that hello welcome in everybody hi Anita don't forget to share this out as

always share this on Facebook if you're on Facebook on YouTube if you are on

YouTube and if you're watching the replay we would appreciate a like and a

comment and don't forget to give us a thumbs up guys wherever you are so that is that beautiful piece that I had

so let's get on to what we're gonna do today this is our

piece um that we've made on the sunweaver over this month I decided to do it in you

know mustards and greens and you know whites creams Browns all that stuff kind

of to keep it neutral so what I've done here in interim since last week to this week I

did put a hanger on it and all I did here is I used some jute I did not put

um any kind of post or anything through here or obscure or whatever you could put a

um what's the name of those those little

um the round wooden dowel rods that's what they're called you could put a thin dowel rod through here at the top and

just weave it through where we pulled down those loops um all I did is I just put some jute

through it I tied on some of these loops these were just some beads that I had I

just tied these loops on and then tied on a couple beads and there's my hanger for

that I did stitch on a couple beads here

because I wanted to make sure this was closed up well because you can't really tie this wide of a piece so I stitched

these beads onto it to hold it the way I wanted to and I just went back in and just tightened everything up neatened

everything up and got ready for us so first what I did is I decided I'm

going to start tying uh some jute around these parts that have the multiple

strands in front because this one I only went through like I skipped four and one under four you know did that so we have

some extra strings on the front so I thought why don't we just use those

um areas to post or to put some beads onto

or just tie some fun stuff onto what I have here is just like I said a little

bit of jute I also have out some uh different items for decorating and I'll

show you those in just a minute but that's just as simply as I did with that jute I'm going to tie this

because I want to be able to embellish that area so I'm just going to add that jute to it

you could add hemp you could add sorry soak yarn lace you could do anything

so what I have guys I've just pulled out some stuff that I'm thinking about using I do still have my jute out just in case

I need it I have this piece of lace that I've been saying from the beginning that I want to

use on the bottom part here I have this flower that I've made this

is just made out of muslin with a little piece of felt on the back and then a button and some lace in the middle so

I'm thinking about maybe using that I actually also got out some uh pins that

I had here some brooches and I'm trying to decide if I want to use some of those on here I have some

different options I think approach approach or two would be really cool on something like this so

I have those out and then I also have some head pins some

jump Rings my tools I have some charms and some chain here

and then I have beet soup this is my uh jjb bead soup here so we

have a lot to choose from and then I also have some large hole

beads pulled because a lot of times the large holes will work great on these type things because of the strands hi

Kelly welcome in welcome and welcome everybody so let's just get started so the first

thing I want to do guys I think is to glue on my heart lace on the bottom

because I've known like I said from the beginning I've been wanting to do that so I'm just going to go over this

piece of ribbon and I do have my glue gun as I said here and I have some thread with a needle in

case I need that as well I'm just going to run a line of hot glue across there

and I'm gonna put my piece of lace that I'm in love with

whoops across the bottom be careful as always with hot glue

okay make sure that's where I want it and

then I'm going to turn it over because I want to be able to wrap that around because if I cut it it's just going to

look frayed on the end so we just want to wrap that around the back just like so and glue that down

okay and the same thing on this side I'm just going to cut this

and save that piece for something else and do the same thing here

and the sky's the limit guys use what you have in your stash in your

craft stash to make it your own okay

so I think I'm going to decide what brooch I want to use because I think I want to put it like up here in this area

so for the butterflies let's take a vote guys

do we want orange and gold gold or the one with the yellow and blue

I'll let you guys decide go ahead and comment what your favorite is

and then I also have some leaves here these are green there's a green one this

is a brooch this one too so we may add that to our

piece as well there we go

um I think Amber is not with us today Zach I think she was

um had an appointment but she may peek in who knows but so I'm

thinking Anita says gold so we like the gold

Jones what's your vote Joan we know Joan has a good eye

combination I need okay Anissa says combination

hmm so we'll put a couple

okay all right well I'll tell you what let's start out with the gold one

and then we'll go from there I think I want to put that like kind of in an angle

in this vicinity okay

and just hook that in there

just like so and that is on that's the nice thing about pins

you can really um gold butterfly go with the buttons okay

Zach says gold too um the nice thing about using brooches and

things like that they're really quick and they make an impact I'm digging here because I want to see if my green gold

well that's kind of copper I was thinking maybe I'm adding our little leaves there

but we'll wait on that for now so what I'm going to do here is on this area that I tied up with my

um jute here I'm going to tie on some charms so I have some butterfly charms here

these are just really cute little wooden butterflies I'm just going to tie those on

simply

so they kind of dangle down there dangle down so you know the dangle Downs

I add this pretty gold one here a little further up and give it a little

dimension I do want to add my flower to once we get these tied on

okay just looking really cute I think I'm going to put another one of

these over here

okay

all right and let's see can we get this jute

through this ow

because as we know I love owls not just poodles but owls too

oh hi Robin you're not late sweetie never late

okay so I'm just gonna trim the ends of these just a little bit

and then decide when I'm going to put in my Center

okay those are good

flour on this little burgundy color I think it'll give it a little pop of color you can

see that now it's looking nice

well good I'm glad I'm glad you guys are liking it it's always those finishing touches that

just make everything isn't it okay

yeah it can be a little rough when you're getting just your fibers and stuff like that in place where you want

it but once you get things tied up and neatened up they really come together

so we're just feeding on some charms here over my jute

oh come on there we go I just put a couple flowers a gold one

and that burgundy one here in the center

all right so now I am going to

figure out where I want my flower

if I even can do it what do you guys think

hmm maybe what I'll do is glue my flower on

and then pin my butterfly to the edge of the flower the love button necklace absolutely

precious oh thank you I appreciate everyone heading over to my YouTube channel and supporting me that always

means so much so I'm just going to take this off here and do our new idea really work work up

nicely thanks Robin thank you honey okay

so we'll get that off there and I'm going to glue my flower here this is what I'm thinking okay

just like that and that has the gold button in the center of it and then I'm going to pin

my little butterfly onto my flower I love it when a plane comes together

you know

and I'm just going to go through one of those petals there and just

put my pin through there it's a short little pin so it's going to take a little maneuvering but we'll get

it now

see how this looks guys I am going to be doing a video on how to

make these flowers as well I'll be posting that up on my YouTube channel

there we go is that cute or what come on with it

I get pretty excited about stuff like that but anyway so we have that and I'm

going to take a little bit of chain here and just cut a piece I think we'll do

like maybe right there

Top Cut I'm using my heavy duty pliers so I don't ruin any of my good

uh Cutters that's what you always want to do and you're working with chain or anything like that

all right so I think I'm gonna get a jump ring out for the top

and hook it to the top of our

some gold ones in there too I might want to use and hook that to the top of our piece

so that chain can hang down I'm just gonna get

larger jump ring probably about an eight millimeter jump ring

Maybe 10. and then I'm just going to open that up

these textured ones are a little difficult sometimes to find the um opening

it's deceiving so I just kind of start giving her a

Twist and see where it starts coming open

here it goes perfect

all right and I'm just going to hook into that chain and don't forget guys to like and share

this we always appreciate that

all right so now our chain is hooked on and we can add whatever we want down our

chain from the front here so I'm going to take a bumblebee

and hook him let's see let's put him on the end

get through the there we go

all right and then what you can do then guys if you want to just take some head pins

uh I had a set just like that

oh all rings I gotcha um you can put some uh beads on head

pins and just hook them all the way down here that would be super cute

I'm gonna take another charm and put up there

hook that up there yeah it's just a process guys the sky's

the limit make it your own you know you can keep it as simple or as

busy as you would like

so hook this little guy up here

okay and I'll probably go back later and do some head pins with beads and hook that in there

before 's a really pretty bead that would look really pretty on there we'll have to do

that uh so now I'm gonna start pulling out my larger

whole beads that I want to use to tie on our side our side ribbons that are

sticking out here okay so let's see let's just pull some out

that will coordinate so here's like a ceramic those are that matches the two that I put up top here which you can't

see right now but they're right here there we go

okay and just pick out ones that

you like and that you know your ribbon and stuff will be able to go through you'll have to have fairly large

holes oh let's just go with that and I'm going to

take some cage beads out of here and

hook some of those on cage beads are always beautiful on pieces like this with the

crystals in the middle and if you don't know what I'm talking about this is a cage bead okay

I forget all the stuff I put in these things oh that one would be really pretty that one actually

has a pearl in it but I don't know if that Pearl's supposed to be in there but we're gonna go with it that's what

happens when you do your beads too and it's just fun to pick out as you go

through things that you want to use and you're putting beads to use that are

just kind of sitting there so I'm just going to put this cage bead I think actually on this ribbon no a bigger than

this one all right

if we can get that through there

[Music] we go

me and we're just going to tie that on there

oh good Vicky I'm glad it's perfect timing welcome in

foreign

and that's just as simple as tying that bead onto the other side Terry says I'm super late but it looks like we used

hemp on this can you clarify what size hemp to use I'm struggling warping with

it sure I can certainly do that Terry I used 0.5 on this piece right here

um any size will work of hemp your your your uh one millimeter or your 0.5 your half

millimeter the trick to warping is just keeping the pressure not excessive

pressure but keeping tension on your hemp as you're warping on any wood Loom

that is the case and I did have to go back a couple times and even just uh

play with it a little bit to get it to what I wanted but you can see I still have my strings popping out of there but

um the trick is you're going to want to tie it on to like an area right here on the edge and then as I said as you're

working just you know keep your attention go slow and you should be able to get it you

might have to you know if it's your first time doing it you may have to try it try doing it a few times so you get

exactly how you like don't get frustrated because it happens to all of us you know we all

you know it's a learning curve for anything just like any new tool so and as always if you have any questions you

can certainly reach out to us we're always happy to help you with any

questions you have so I found this cage bead but it has a little loop on the top of it so I'm

going to put a jump ring through it and hook it onto my piece

okay see if I want to put it through

some of these Loops right here

okay now I want to get down to the bottom there's a lot more you can do up here at the top for sure I'll put this

brown bead on and then we'll get down to the bottom and decorate the strands that are hanging down here for us

okay

and you could use anything on this like I said guys you know anything you have in your sewing box or

your um any kind of laces materials anything like that and even it wouldn't have to

be a fiber as you can see we're using charms and beads and pins and made

flowers so go for it that's my advice just go for

it so I want to get some beads onto this bottom

some interest down here and I think first off I want to

I think I'm going to cut these just a little shorter I'll wait till I tie on because then that way I'll be sure I don't have

um I have enough thread to tie them off so basically guys it's just as simple as

taking your hemp and look at that bead and that gorgeous

and putting it through the hole of the bead and just

making a knot you're gonna make sure especially with

the 0.5 um that you make it thick enough knot so it'll hold that bead from

sliding off so we're good there and as you go just trim your hemp as you

want it sorry I had lots of coffee today so if you see my hands shaking a little bit it doesn't take much

and then just kind of work your way across with that okay

I'm going to look in my beads my bead soup here it's always fun to dig in here

it's a good one let's just it's a little run down

I'll trim those and you can trim those on the angle and they'll go through your beads easier

you trim your hemp on the angle and I'm putting two strands through that

foreign

make sure we're I'm not big enough and it is

and then you're just going to work your way across you can do all of your threads in one

area so I made a knot here with like three or four threads you can take all that and

put it through a bead or you can divide them out um I really like this blue bead to make

give it a pop of color but it only has a small hole so I don't know

if we can finagle it or not let's see well yes the 0.5 went through it

went through it well so we're gonna put a pop of turquoise in here

okay let's make sure yep we're gonna hold

okay foreign

I love my coffee I have coffee issues

hmm there's a bean cone why don't we try that that would be fun just put a bead cone

through your put your hemp through your bead cone be something fun

all right

okay

so once you get that again you're just tying a knot simple simple

all kinds of fun stuff on here so guys that is our time for today it

went really fast let me get turned around here

there we are I light up there we go so this is what we have so

far we I still want to put some more on it you know judger up a little bit but that's the basic project

really cool looking isn't it I'm really happy with it and once I get the bottom all finished and all the strings trimmed

I think it'll be really cool so a lot more that could be done here

um but it is going to take a little bit more time than what we had today but I hope that I kind of

um gave you an overview of all the different things that you could do with it in the different areas and give you

different ideas um just super fun just a super fun project

I was able to take my time it was so therapeutic love it loved it really

happy with that so end up with pouch or clutch oh Kelly's working on one and she said it

may end up a pouch or a clutch that's another great idea for turning your work

on your large sunweaver into something usable you know

okay I think that's it guys I was just looking to see if we had any more questions

um I do want to let you know that this is going to be my last Jewel live for a little while
