Miyuki blue fringed loom bracelet

How do you add bangs to a loom weave?

Discover a trendy and easy-to-use bead weaving technique: beaded bangs on bracelets made on a loom. This style of beaded bracelet is perfect for summer. Accessible even to weaving beginners, this technique is added at the end of your main weaving, just before removing your bracelet from the loom. Before cutting the weft threads and detaching the bracelet, simply weave back into the weave, adding beaded bangs to the sides. Start with one side, then do the other. This step not only decorates the border nicely, but also solidifies the whole, as the thread passes back through all the beads.

We've prepared a comprehensive video tutorial to guide you step by step through this technique. In this video, you'll learn how to easily add beads to the edge of your loom weave. This technique works with many beads, but for this model I used Miyuki Delica 11/0 beads, ideal for a clean, even finish.

I chose shades of blue for this fringe bracelet. Blue is a key color for the season. It's everywhere: in clothing collections, accessories, and of course in handmade jewelry. Pair this beaded bracelet with white, denim or even natural tones for a fresh, summery look. This woven cuff will add a colorful, bohemian touch to your look.
