Miyuki loom bracelet with gold thread

Tie 8 thin threads in the center of the loom without cutting the thread on the spool and making a loop around each nail. Then add the gold thread on each side making 2 loops around the nail. Cut 1.5 m of weaving thread and tie it on an end thread of the loom, keeping 10 cm of thread end. String the first row of beads and pass the thread with the beads under the loom thread. Place each bead between 2 threads, centering them on the loom. Iron the thread through the beads, also taking the threads from the edges that do not have beads. When you iron in the beads with the needle be careful to go over the threads of the loom otherwise your beads will be a bit sunken on the weaving.

Repeat this string of beads 3 times before continuing with the bracelet design. These 4 rows of beads will be glued into the clasp. The clasp adds 2 cm to the length of the bracelet, the 6 bead patterns are 1 cm wide and your bracelet needs to be 1 cm to 1.5 cm larger than your wrist size. A little calculation is needed to know how many times you will have to repeat the pattern.

When decreasing and increasing, always be careful to center the beads on the loom. For the increase, spread the threads of the loom to place the beads between them and be careful not to get the wrong threads. For the decrease, pass 4 times in the beads, that is to say 2 round trips, to stick well the threads of the edges against the beads.

To finish, tie the wires in pairs with tight double knots. Apply glue to the knots and beads and insert the bracelet into the clasp slot using a toothpick. Remove any excess glue before it dries. Also a note: Hasulith glue tends to dissolve nail polish which then stains the clasp. So avoid using it for this step... You can also use weaving tips to slide on the beads (tube tips) instead of a magnetic clasp. Do not use alligator clips!
