In this Jewel Loom School tutorial, I demonstrate the Friendship Rainbow Bracelet kit, using a multi heart pattern. Please scroll down below the video to see more information & thought processes for this project.
This kit was originally created for a simple no pattern needed rainbow bracelet. My thought was that you would simple alternate the rows of beads that coordinate with the color of the rainbow, which I still think is a great idea for creating a super quick and easy bracelet.
Many of you that bought the kit kept asking for the pattern and I was like there isn't one, LOL. So when my pattern designer presented this multi heart one I was like "Oh, this is perfect for the Friendship Rainbow Kit"!
So here we are with a new direction which I love! If you bought the kit and did not get this pattern, please email me at jewels@jewelloom.com with your order number and I will send it to you.
Materials Used:
All of the above items are available in the jewelloom.com shop. Other Items needed include, scissors, wildfire burner, flat nose pliers and a bead mat.
As you can see, I already started my bracelet before the tutorial and have some notes for you: I used .006 Wildfire Red for both my warps and wefts - this turned the transparent rainbow yellow into a vintage retro look! I love it! If you don't want the look, I would suggest you use Frost. I also think that the Blue would be gorgeous.
I started with 2 yards of Wildfire for the wefts, and that got me through 3.5 Hearts. I cut another 1.5 to finish the other half of heart and one more heart for my wrist size which is 6 inches. Each Heart Section is approx 1.25 inches. My finally piece should be around 6.25
I would highly suggest that you focus and be patient when working when this pattern. This is the first time I have worked with a sideways shape and it was a little challenging until I got my rhythm down and focused.
I use a 20mm Slide Connector but you can use any closure that you choose. The Slide connector in the kit is 13mm and was included for the original streamlined idea of simple bracelets. Buy your color choice of 20mm slide connector here:
I hope all of this info helps you. Please email me or text me if you need help. -Jewels
