What A WONDERFUL School project!!! Simple, INEXPENSIVE, creative, and above all, FAST!!! Thimbles may be needed, but depends on students. Also perfect for olderkids and adults.

I was just wondering if this has an actual name so i can look up different kinds of patterns?

You can achieve this without the loom as well, and without the loom it's called peyote stitch, which is my favorite to work with.

This is SOOO amazing. I just made one for my sis for Easter but then my bro came over and told me that the string wasn't strong enough. I have been working on it FOREVER!!! He told me to give it to her as an ornament or something.... Darn. It was like a tree with her initial and her husband's initial on it. It was so cute. *sigh*

I used to do quite a bit of beading back in my Scout days. I'm just getting back into beading and I'm in the process building a loom from some scrap 1X3 pine boards.

I use fishing line (for large beads), polyester thread and silk thread for beading with seed beads.

I've got a beading project coming up with the local OA Chapter and I'll have them doing their project on the card board loom .

i keep trying but i just cant do it. but it is a really good instructable!

piper1234 says: Sep 17, 2009. 12:19 AM

this a great one, is a pity to not be able to mark as fav; they have gone "pro" making favs for pay; recently I discover all my favs has gone, a real pity this once unnoticed place, now famous thanks to "all of us" has become important so they charge for what a community of people has done altogether

This is cool - Kitewife & some of her friends have occasional beading sessions, I'll show them this.

ccpizza77 says: Jun 19, 2008. 12:32 PM

i keep doing it but my string always break! what kind of string work with seed beads? btw i love the video it REALLY helps!

hishealer in reply to ccpizza77Jul 31, 2009. 8:15 AM

They make a VERY thin, SUPER strong nylon thread, but it knots easily. Make sure to buy a block of beeswax that should be close by. Coat all the threads with beeswax and it's not nearly as bad. The needles for seed beads are also just like little slivers.

Grey_Wolfe in reply to ccpizza77Sep 12, 2008. 11:52 PM

I use nylon thread. It's like the fishing line that zania mentioned, but a bit more flexible. Rather strong for its size, and no thicker than normal thread. Can get it in the same place you get other sewing supplies. Usually comes in black and clear.

HippieAdrien in reply to ccpizza77Sep 11, 2008. 2:24 PM

unwaxed dental floss. it's cheap.
