How To Bead On A Loom - The Removal - - - Tape Method - - - by Beth Murr

[lionezz77]

if you aren't using a backing that is sticky how do you attach it ? 

[karent763]

Very nice video! The music was a nice change from the lame narrations found in other videos. The visual instruction was perfect, no narration required, and the finishing and finished product are simple yet elegant.

I got my loom at Walmart; it was on an endcap with other gift ideas for kids that were under $10.00. The beads that came with it are pretty useless, but the loom is fine. Too bad I already had removed my work from the loom before I saw this video, I did it the hard way! Thanks again.

[Lola101152]

wher would you buy one of these can you tell me where you got yours and some other places that might have it

[TheStitchyLife]

THANK YOU!!!! The tape just didn't make any since til now! I so appreciate it- and what a fantastic piece!!! :D

[NinjaToadsAteMyBaby]

I can not tell you just how much this helped me! I've made I don't know how many pieces on my bead loom and I never could figure out a good, secure way to finish them and all the other instructions on the web don't have any visuals to make it clear what you should do so I always wound up having to recycle the beads into another piece.

[UntilWeBeadAgain]

@NinjaToadsAteMyBaby Great, Glad I could help.

[Teddie1920]

@UntilWeBeadAgain This was a great help! I also loved the music. What's the name of it? It sounds like some good music to listen to while beading.

[Gecko1265]

what do you use for that sticky back foam what is that called and where do you get it????

[RachelleNicole2286]

This Really Helps

[OneVeryHappyBird]

Awesome bracelet. Nice work!

[jewelloveit]

I like this! I have a question though, I saw a girl with a beaded bracelet like this, but it was on a metal cuff. Like, the cuff was completely covered in leather and the beads were sewn to the leather. I guess it is the same process with the leather but you have to make a "sock" for the metal cuff to slip into the leather?

[Blakwidow199]

Where do you get your beads and what type are they?

[Susanp34]

I see...I do loom bead work also & have found that the seed beads I use are never the same size. Which causes a problem when you are doing this kind of work. Are Delica beads more the same size then regular seed beads? Because in the video I see you picking up the beads very quickly and not looking to see if they are the same size.

[Shrubbs]

This is what I exactly needed! Thanks

[zsylvester1111]

what size beads do you use?

[mariaclark1000]

cool piano!

[Littlebird2222]

Okay....I am a beginner. What length for a bracelet and what is the best way to measure for a bracelet?

[edina2015]

What diameter needle do you use?

[Kimiki2008]

Great work! I'm going to try the tape method!

[Susanp34]

What kind of seed beads are those, and where can you purchase the foam backing?

[datashine38]

@Susanp34 The beads are Delicas and is size 11

[elfbride]

Great video. Love the music. This was really helpful. I've been beading for a few years, but haven't tried the loom yet. I have one, but, like another poster said, I'm kinda scared of it. Thanks so much for this video!

[swayofthewind]

i loved how clear this video was! I've doen one piece off loom and convinced myself to buy a loom so this was reallu helpful! I do have one question though, if i decided to add a button on something like this...how and where do you think it would go???

[kufan302]

I'm just starting to do some beadwork and I'm having trouble getting my columns of beads real tight/close together. There just seems to gaps between the beads on the left and right. I don't know if it's because the beads I've been trying to use are all kinda different sizes and shapes or what. Can any one help me?

[madcat61207]

I enjoyed watching this video with the music. I am trying to learn how to do beadwork. I have always wanted to but am just now starting.

[Moiranne2]

What if you don't want a backing, the beads are pretty and it would be nice to be reversible. How do you tie it off and add a clasp without adding the backing?

[UntilWeBeadAgain]

@Moiranne2 You can but I find it very time consuming.

[sweetcherryp1e]

@UntilWeBeadAgain

I agree with Moiranne, I don't want a backing either and would like to learn the best way to weave strands back - so they are invisible when finished. can you help?

I do like your instructions though as an alternative...

thanks

[BeyondBracelets]

@Moiranne2 I'd think if you took each strand and wove it to the middle of the end you are working with then stick a clasp on to the needle and then thread the strand through the bracelet beads to secure it would be okay.

Then work the next strand to the middle, through the clasp, through the bracelet and repeat, the next, etc... Perhaps knotting them inconspicuously through it to make sure it stays secure. It might take more time but I think it might work.

[dazelbear33]

enjoyed the music too

[jessicac74]

thanks this video is really helpful. . .if done several items and they all end up loose or all over the ground. . i would of never thot of tape. .

[UntilWeBeadAgain]

@jessicac74 Yeah! So happy I could help. I love to get comments like these. It makes all the hard work of putting these videos together worth it.

Until We Bead Again, Beth

[SamBamKablaam]

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS. I've been going crazy trying to get the finish right haha

[UntilWeBeadAgain]

So happy I could help. Beaders are very visual people. So much easier to learn beading by watching a video, than it is reading a book.

[christvswarhol]

i have only just started, i made a beautiful bracelet but it is still on the loom because i am scared!! I guess i'm not crazy about it either :)

[UntilWeBeadAgain]

Don't forget the tape and everything will be just fine. Now go for it and send me a pic.

[Meadowpoem]

Excellent video and instruction!! Thanks for posting it! I should have left my last project in the loom like Stardust200141 did-(LOL) she was terrified to take it off the loom. I removed mine and had hundreds of beads running all over the floor. They're still stuck in the baseboards. I've been staring at the loom for over a year now since then. Best video I've seen yet. And I LOVE the music too! Definitely added to the enjoyment of the video! I can't wait to check out your website after this.

[UntilWeBeadAgain]

Too funny!!! Beads in the baseboards! I have hardwood floors and lots of beads in my baseboards! Thanks for the kind words and compliments. Happy Holidays.

Until We Bead Again, Beth

[WomanForPresident]

Great photography and instructions. It was all so-o-o clear.

Who was the music by?

It made the learning transcendental.

[UntilWeBeadAgain]

Thanks. Music by Nickel Creek. A very talented group of young musicians.

[eleninha318]

muito lindo!

adorei!

[teanagedramaqueen]

you used seed beeds on this right?

[UntilWeBeadAgain]

I used Delica beads because they are so uniform. You can use seeds beads too.

[teanagedramaqueen]

i was wondering, do you still have this pattern on your website?

[UntilWeBeadAgain]

I will get it on there eventually...very little time these days.

[teanagedramaqueen]

hey, i was wondering, what's the name of the song? thanx, again

[UntilWeBeadAgain]

Both songs are by Nickel Creek.

[teanagedramaqueen]

cool, thanx

[vertigayle]

First, let me thank UntilWeBeadAgain for this fantastic and enormously helpful video. It makes me feel much less intimidated about trying bead looming.

As for the music, your video host may have to check me on this, but the first part of the video really sounds like Bela Fleck (don't know the song), and the second part is Nickel Creek "When You Come Back Down"...which is from their great first album.

[vertigayle]

Sorry, my mistake on the music! I'm amazed that Nickel Creek are such great musicians that they could fool me like that.....being anywhere near on par with Bela Fleck is astonishing.

But, I'm off the subject....forgive me, UWBA. You are not only a super-talented bead artist, but you have great musical taste as well!

[UntilWeBeadAgain]

Now I have to go check out Bela Fleck!!! Glad you enjoyed the video.

[teanagedramaqueen]

that was awesome! i love to play the piano, so i might just try your design on my loom. one question though, how did you make the bracelet round? i mean, what did you use to close the two ends together without it showing? please get back to me soon, i want to start asap on it too finish it by school this year. please and thank you for inspiring me to drag my loom out again. your way to take the finished piece off is genious, i would've never thought of that. i was trying to do it the hard way.

[UntilWeBeadAgain]

I am going to make a video of how to attach snaps so nothing shows.

[UntilWeBeadAgain]

I added the snaps to the bracelet. Too quick and easy for a video. All you have to do is add snaps just like you were adding them to a piece of clothing. I promise it works great.

[d2008new]

Hi, this is good instruction. I have a homemade loom made w/2 pocket combs for the thread guides. I used it once then gave up. Might try again soon. When whipstitching on the sides do you go "thru" any of the edge beads or just over/between the edge thread? Thanks again

[UntilWeBeadAgain]

Please send me a pic of your pocket comb loom. Whipstitch and go thru one bead on the edge.

[Koda1608]

Thanks so much, great finishing tips, I was scared to take my beadwork off the loom too! =]

[UntilWeBeadAgain]

Don't be scared. There are other ways but This is the fastest and easiest one I know.

[stardust200141]

Thanks for sharing this! I have a wristlet on my loom for 3 years now. I'm just terrified to take it off! lol I think I'm going to dust off that loom and make more! Right after I remove the old one with your technique...

[UntilWeBeadAgain]

LOL. This was on my loom for years too!!!

[jumpinjacksflash]

Nice done, I enjoy watching your videos :D

[UntilWeBeadAgain]

Thank you. One of my new friends is in your favorites, Pamelia. She is an awesome beader. I am going to make an Indian cuff soon. She inspires me.

[jleeproductions]

I think I'm the 1st one to view :) Hey! I love this design so much! And you really have such nimble fingers!!!!

[UntilWeBeadAgain]

Wow you are quick, I had it up maybe 10 minutes! I will have your keyboard pattern up on my website in a few more days. I have been busy learning how to throw pottery. My hands look rough and my arms are killing me but, I am having a blast. Watch for new things made out of clay for beaders.
