Weave a ring on a bead loom 05. May 2022

String your bead loom with 0.3 mm elastic cord. To keep track of the elastic cords, you can add a little piece of tape on the cords in each end of the loom.

Cut a piece of bead thread of 1.5 m and tie the thread to the elastic cord farthest left on the loom.

Needle the thread with a bead needle and put five beads on the needle.

Place the beads between the cords on the loom from beneath and secure them in place with a finger underneath.

Bring needle and thread through the beads while continuing to hold the beads in place from beneath.

Bring the needle through the beads from the opposite side, but this time above the strings.

Continue back and forth, until the length of rows fit the circumference of the finger you wish to carry the ring on.

Finish the last row by bringing the needle through the beads once more and halfway through back again on the row next to it. Cut off the thread.

Cut the beadwork free from the loom with 3-4 cm elastic cord left on each side.

Connect the ring. Let each elastic cord connect from each side and secure them with a crimp bead, so the cords in every joint run through the crimp bead from each side and are laying on top of eachother, before crimping the crimp bead. Connect the elastic cords from each side in the entire row until the ring is complete.
