Loom beaded bracelets

January 4, 2016

Over my Christmas/New Year’s break I had time to sit and do some loom beading.  When I string my loom I tend to try to do as much as I can, since it takes a lot of string to get it set up.

So…first I loomed all of these bad boys, and then I put them on leather bracelets.  I used E6000 glue to attach the beading to the backing of the bracelets and then stitched around them.  The stitching only really works on the ends, as the sides don’t have anything to stitch.  You have to make sure they are glued well.

I also got a few small beadings completed, so I can put them on spur straps.  That is still in process, since I need to get different buckles.  I have several, but of course, they are not the right size.  *Sigh*  Off to Tandy again, but at least I can bring them with to make sure they fit!
