Miyuki loom bracelet with pearl tabs and sliding clasp

How to attach pearls to a miyuki bracelet?

We've already shown you how to make a slip knot on a loom bracelet. This technique involved using a thicker thread on the outer edges of the bracelet and then finishing the bracelet with a point. Here are a few examples:

Another method, however, is to create beaded tubes on either side of the bracelet, through which a thread can be slipped to make the sliding knot. This is the technique we're going to look at in this video. Some of you have asked us for a tutorial on this technique. The tubes can be made using two different techniques: either woven directly on the loom, or added at the end using square stitch. Square stitch is a needle weaving technique that imitates loom weaving. Both methods have their advantages and disadvantages. If you see any others, please share them in the comments.

NB: In the video, it is indicated that you need to allow 1.5 to 2 cm of margin before starting to weave. In reality, you should allow at least 10 cm so that you can pull the threads in more easily.

The diagram is very long so that you can stop when the weaving length is the size of your wrist -0.5 cm. So you don't have to weave the whole diagram. When you have the right length, add the 6-strand tab of 5 cream pearls. Preferably use the PDF download below the diagram.
