The photo does not exactly follow the weaving grid because it is a bracelet that was made for a demonstration and the testers did not necessarily follow the model. Rely on the weaving grid for making your bracelet.

This bracelet is finished with weaving bits but you can also stick it on a brass cuff. Another idea for fans of silver is to replace the golden Miyuki delicas pearls by Delicas 11/0 Silver Duracoat .

1. Attach 12 threads to the bead loom . To do this, tie a knot on one of the nails without cutting the thread, pass on the other side of the loom to place the first thread. Wrap it to the second nail, go to the other side to place the second wire and wrap it on the first nail and so on. Then tie a knot and cut the thread.
2. Cut 1.50 m of thread and tie the end on one of the 2 outer threads of the loom. Keep 15 cm of wire end to finish. Thread the 11 beads in the first row. Thread the thread with the beads under the warp threads. Place each bead between the threads and hold them with your fingers. Iron the needle in the beads in the opposite direction but over the warp threads. Thus, the beads will be wedged between the warp threads and the weft thread.
3. Go to row 2 and continue to weave the beads following the pattern. If you have more than 15 cm of yarn left, tie it to the warp thread then iron it in the previous beads before cutting it. Take a new thread, tie it in as well and continue weaving. Wedge his other end into the previous beads also to hide it.
4. Once the weaving is done, cut the threads keeping as long as possible. Tie them two by two with double knots. Put glue on the knots. Close one of the legs of the mouthpiece. Open the other end of the weaving end and slightly enlarge the beginning of the slot by passing a round clip in the tube. Slip the tip on the knots and the last row of the weave. Close the second leg.
5. Add the rings and the clasp.
