How to Bead Weave on a Loom

Auteure: Lillian Strong

Nombre de pages: 63

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.
