Craft expert Kathi Cardinalli creates a simply beaded hatband using a loom. Materials: Graph paper or beading pattern
Colored pencils or marker
Seed beads
Beading needle and thread
Loom - Use beading pattern or create your own by coloring squares of graph paper with the markers or pencils. Cardinalli suggests leaving a white space between some of the squares to facilitate counting.
- String the warp threads on the loom according to the manufacturer's instructions.
- Thread beading needle and tie end to first warp thread.
- Look at pattern and begin filling the needle with the beads by dipping the needle directly into a tray of beads to pick them up (figure A). String the beads in the same order as they appear on the pattern or graph.
- Once all the beads are on the thread, simply push them to the end and push up through the spaces between the warp threads (figure B).
- Next, push needle through all of the bead holes in the row to secure them (figure C).
- Continue until the hatband (or other item) is finished according to your pattern.
