Beschreibung

A bead loom is a tool used to weave beads together. Beading looms all have the same basic design with weaving achieved by inserting the weft threads (side to side threads) over and under the stationary warp threads (up and down threads). The warp threads are held in place by tension, and the weft threads, which hold your beads, are woven between the warp threads. The length and width of your finished piece will be determined by the length and number of your warp threads.

Learning how to use a beading loom can catapult your craft repertoire. These handy little tools allow you to create complex and colorful beading patterns that you can use to complement a wide range of jewelry, apparel and home décor crafts. From elaborate tribal patterns that pay tribute to the original designs made by Native Americans to gorgeous florals and geometrics for your trendy accessories, there’s no vision you can’t bring to life beading on a loom.

In this book “HOW TO BEAD WEAVE ON A LOOM “ I have put together everything that you will need in order to successfully carry out bead weaving on a loom. The skills, techniques, materials and patterns have been made available.

I have also added some patterns to create beautiful projects like bracelets, earrings, necklaces and so much more.

CHAPTER ONE: INTRODUCTION TO BEAD LOOM

Bead looming is a simple and enjoyable method that originated as a Native American ornamental art form centuries ago. Looming has changed throughout time and is often utilized by contemporary beaders to create fashionable bracelets and accessories. As styles and methods of bead loom weaving changed, so did the tools, materials, and equipment. Utilize two-hole beads, leather cording, fibers, amusing patterns, and innovative finishing choices to add interest to woven creations.

Acquiring knowledge on how to operate a beading loom may significantly expand your craft range. These handy small tools enable you to create intricate and colorful beading designs for a variety of jewelry, fashion, and home décor projects. From intricate tribal patterns that pay homage to Native American designs to stunning flowers and geometrics for your stylish accessories, there is no vision that you cannot bring to life via beading on a loom.

Bracelets are among the most popular bead looming crafts. You may create fashionable stacking bracelets in brilliant hues or create bespoke designs in your favorite hues. Additionally, you may use your bead loom to create motifs that are patriotic, nautical, or bohemian.

With a reasonably priced loom and — and here's the fun part — your favorite beads, you can create some of the most eye-catching crafts ever created! We enjoy looming at Interweave because it is endless. We are committed to teaching you how to utilize a bead loom and all there is to know about this coveted method, from the foundations to the additional decorations.

I'm here to inform you about the critical information you need to know about looming, which will be illustrated and clearly described during the course. But before we get to the list, here's a look behind the scenes:

• Materials and Equipment

Looming, like other creative forms, requires the use of a range of materials and equipment. Having all of the necessary supplies on hand is critical to a pleasurable crafting session. If you're a seasoned beader, you're probably already equipped with the majority of the essential materials, but if not, they're readily available. Given the variety of beading materials available, it's critical to understand which kinds and brands to use. Consider thread. When looming, you may use either nylon threads or braided beaded threads, although both have their place. This and much more is covered in this book.

• How to Set Up and Warp a Beading Loom

Setting up and warping your loom is a critical first step. Certain looms need adjustment to the completed design's length before to warping and adding beads, while others do not. Throughout the course, you'll discover which looms need this additional step and which do not. And if you're reading this and wondering what a warp is, you're not alone. Tammy will tell you how to accomplish this, as well as how to apply warps effectively and prevent making errors.

• Including Beads

It might be challenging to add the first row of beads to a warped loom. Prior to adding beads to the loom, the warp threads will have irregular spacing and may overlap and twist. This is why it is critical to arrange your beads appropriately. You'll discover tips and methods for correctly positioning beads inside your warp threads, as well as an amazing approach for avoiding thread breaking while securing the beads in place.

• Using Consistent Tension

• Terminating and Creating Threads

As with any beading method, it is critical to maintain continuous tension when looming. Even tension will keep the beads exactly aligned inside each warp and will also ensure that the piece's edges remain straight throughout. Tammy shows a couple techniques for maintaining consistent tension when looming. It is critical. For some, running out of thread in the midst of a beading job may be a source of fear. To prevent this, I'm guilty of beginning with five or more feet of thread. I had to chuckle at myself since terminating and resuming threads in the midst of a beading job is really fairly straightforward, and the same holds true with looming. You may use the same approach to ending and starting threads inside a loom project, so you'll quickly master it.

• Interweaving Thread Tails

• Detachment of Beaded Work from the Beading Loom

• Alternatives for Finishing

After you've added all the beads to your looming project, you'll need to tie off and weave in the working thread and warp threads. This is the last significant step before completing your project. TA-DA! This is one of the most thrilling aspects of loom labor. This technique will appear somewhat different depending on the loom you are using. Tammy explains how to remove beading from a Rick's Beading Loom, one of the most popular looms on the market. She will discuss the removal procedure from a few additional looms in the Finishing Options segment of the course. As with other beading methods, loomed beadwork may be finished in a number of ways. The adage "the possibilities are unlimited" rings so true here. Adding the appropriate clasp is the icing on the cake of all the effort you've previously spent on your loomwork. Additionally, you may use your weaved piece to fancy up a basic metal cuff, which is a fun way to end. Keep an eye on the course for all clasp and finishing possibilities.

• Loom Types

There are several looms available, and each loom has its unique set of advantages. Certain looms are portable and convenient to transport. Others need just two warp threads for a simple finish. A loom dedicated to minor tasks, such as earrings and accessories, is available. In the Learn How to Bead on a Loom course, you'll learn about six different looms and how to choose the one that's right for you.
