to do something chill um which was just a simple bracelet we've done it before
you know but I don't think that you can show the um the uh process of warping
and WS enough you know there's always somebody out there who just needs a refresher or somebody who's never even
seen it so I put together a very simple I I feel like I'm always like I need to
make myself a new choker because I'm always like gravitating because that would be a hot choker um it's kind of
like a little like a rock o it's going to match my Maria bracelet so so very
simple I added a made with love charm uh five strands of 5mm fire polish and a
couple of yards of hemp cord and a black button and it's like $10 I just did
$10 I'm like let's just go easy let's do 10 bucks easy peasy all the way around
on the pocketbook on the you know on the learning curve something very very
simple very similar to what we've done before in fact I just added these beads
um for March if you like to celebrate the greenness of March this is the Kiss
Me I'm Irish button that's part of the charm set in um on the julan website as
well so anyway just thought it would be fun here's the kit easy peasy I
do oh sugar hold on one
second I do want to show you and I want to tell you a little secret
so okay so there's a new 5mm strand 12
strands 5 MIM 12 strand fire polish assortment
okay if you happen to put this or any other item in your cart right and then
you go to check out it's going to be like hey with its earrings
hey and the price on these comes down to like I don't know it's something
ridiculously good so you put something in the car and you
go to buy it it's going to ask you if you want to add this 5mm 12 strand
assortment and it's something like 20 some per off of what it's regularly
priced at so it's a great deal so that if you want to make more bracelets it's just a little secret I'm letting you in
on so that you know and um I got my blue wild a blue Wildfire is like I don't even know how
they did that because honestly it's probably the most beautiful by far beating thread and I
love Wildfire so it's Oly obviously like the best oh I have to order more it it
really went fast it did so um I'm working so funny enough I said I was
going to work on the um small
Warrior and I got the jewel loom ready Jew's like Mama come on show me some love um which I've been showing you a
lot of love lately and um and so anyway we're actually GNA work on the original
jewel loom which is just fine because it's got the best warp hands down and
it's so funny because I picked a rod that must like be from I don't know 2012 it's like
pretty it's pretty dirty anyway it's not going to not going to cause any harm um
let me get things out of the way here and get things a little bit more
adjusted did my overhead go away no
oh I got kicked off hold on am I I'm not there right
Joan I'm not there sorry let's me start over
if I knew what I was doing I would have done it I got so excited about these
earrings that I forgot to go on and Joan and I were obviously talking
and laughing oh my God I didn't do anything I was supposed to do hold on guys I'm so
very sorry okay um I'm gonna enter the
studio whoa you
want you want to take that off real quick um I gotta get us
positioned and bow down okay is that the right way yep there we go okay cool can
you hear me still okay awesome all right so like I said
I'm working with the jewel loom and um just a
reminder that the jewel loom okay the jewel loom is a flexible
not bendable plastic super duper lightweight all
right and what we're going to do is take that metal rod put it into the bottom hole and then bring it forward and snap
that in I like to do a little wiggle wiggle to make sure that the metal rod is really in there okay and it is and
I've already taken my hemp that comes in the kit and I like to make sure that the
knot is actually facing me so I'm pointing towards my
body this is my right hand and this is my left and so what I'm going to do is
I'm going to grab the hemp cord and I'm laying it on the grooves these are the grooves of the
Loom so we're just going to lay it down and then flip it
over bring it forward and then I'm just going to do
little eyeball I'm not really worried about it being exactly in you know like 12 in on the top 12 in on the bottom as
long as it looks good then it's all good in the world then I'm going to flip it
over again wrap it around that back button and I'm going to skip three grooves kind
of have that down in my my visual since I've only done it like a 100 times or a thousand 100 times and then I'm going to
bring it back up and then I'm going to flip it over
again and just I got to move this really quick it's sliding everywhere and then we're going to lay
that down flip it
over lay that down again flip it
over and then we're going to come back up and you can see this is part of the patent right with these
buttons so you don't have like all of this waist in the middle of the Loom
because the buttons when you wrap around the buttons you're going back up so that's like a really cool part of my um
US patent and then we're going to come back up and I'm only going to do um three rows across so I need four warps
so it's always one more warp than it is beads across what's a warp these are warps this is what I've been doing I've
been going from the top to the bottom and Back Again these are my warps all right so just want to get that nice and
poot and then wrap it around that back button the cool thing with the hemp is
that it's so thick that it kind of locks itself into place for you makes it a lot
easier to um you know to tie off you don't have to really worry about losing
your tension so I'm just trying to get a knot
here obviously trying to do it with one hand is a little challenging and then
sometimes I'll just come in here with my first tail you know and then just make sure
that it's nice and tight awesome and then I'm going to um cut the excess
off this is hemp cord it comes in it's h hemp cord um I love hemptique it's all I
use and it comes in your little kit so what I like to do when I'm removing the
rod and let's let's just visit this for a second here the distance between the
belly of your loom okay this bottom part I mean we're calling it the bottom right
now really it's like the top right so like the belly of your loom okay and the distance of your warps
you want to make sure that that's not more than here I'm going to get my measuring tape because I want you to
really get the
visual and what I want to do first is actually remove my rod so let me do that so like I like to put my
pointer over the warps and then very carefully okay I go to remove the rod
okay it doesn't want to come with me so I shift the tension by turning the loom
around and then it pops out all right so don't ever force it CU then that's not
going to be your happiest day all right so going back to the belly of the Jew
Loom and the top of the warps all right let me get the measuring tape here so
basically I've got just it's not it's just like a hair
right under 2 in so I don't want the distance between
the belly of my loom and the top of my warps to be over two inches then you have just pulled it way too tight and
you're going to put way too much stress on your jewel loom and that is a very important little
tip okay so you see the distance there the belly of the jewel loom the top of the warps I don't want you going over
two inches so if you do your warps and you're just like oh wow you know the two
ends look like they're getting ready to kiss you have you have really gone way way way too tight so loosen up all right
I'm going to bring the mat in and again this is just a really simple um really simple
project we're just going to grab our aren't these gorgeous these are in the
shop by them um avail ailable by themselves too look how pretty they are in the bracelet it's like a little
rocker Little Rocker um bracelet okay so we're going to bring in my needle and thread I am
using black wildfire
006 and I'm just going to find the end of it's 1 millimeter oh I'm sorry
somebody's asking something about leather why am I doing Jones
sorry all right so I'm just doing like a a little knot and I want to Center my
project on the loom so that I have equal amounts of warps to tie at the end for
my button and my Loop for me having a 6inch wrist that usually means that I
start right under this one hole right here so it might even come up just a
smidge okay and then I'm going to transer for the needle and the thread over to my left hand and I'm going to
bring it under now under all the warps so my my needle and my thread are under
the warps and I'm going to transfer that to my right hand and then I'm going to pick up three of these little
5mm gorgeous silver fire polish beads and I'm just going to let them fall I
like to help guide the Wildfire because it can be a little um danc see and so I
like to guide it and then I just popped those beads up and in between the warps I'm going to come closer to the
camera and I'm helping them stay secure by letting them rest on my pointer
finger you see how my hand is in fact I want you to even see how my pinky is a
part of the party whoa where she at okay look at how my pinky is at the back of
the Loom the other three fingers right are on the top of the Loom beads
are resting on my pointer and my thumb is on top of the wars okay so there's my little sandwich
that really helps me to keep my jewel loom under control so that I can get a
really nice weave here now I'm going to take the needle and I'm going back through
the holes and I want my needle to be on top of the warps
see that you see how they're on top of the warps there you go there's there's the money shot okay so then again I'm
just going to push that through and then you see how I take my pointer and my thumb and I immediately switch the
weight to my right hand and now I've got my my pointer and my thumb are acting as
like a little you know like a weight to keep the loom in position Now by all means if you have your jewel loom stand
you're not going to be doing this little hand dance but um I like to show people how to use
you know perhaps what they got and make it as easy as possible so again um I
went under the warps and I'm going to pick up three more
beads and then I'm going to let those fall and I'm just helping to guide the Wildfire because I'm working with two
yards by the way and then I'm going to bring in my pointer pop that pop those guys right up
in between okay and now in this situation I've got
like my whole hand kind of in the party here right so my pinky is not necessarily under the the loom it's a
part of like the weight holding it down and then I'm going to
transfer and I'm
pulling okay and then once again I came under the warps transfer the needle to
my right hand and pick up three more
beads and then we're going to go
through I can do that hold on one
sec okay so Leanne would like to um see this
on the Jew Loom stand so we introduced a new jewel loom stand um I feel like it
was in December but I've kind of lost track of time I think it was December and so it's been really really
well received and so hold on for a hot minute I've only got one of these too
how come I don't know people how come I don't
know all right so um Joan I well hold on I don't let me
see if I can bring this
into okay so we're
just okay just slid that in all right and then let me turn it around yeah we
might have to do that let me come let me bring this down a little
bit okay and so the loom is now sitting in its in its
Carriage the queen is in her carriage and we're going to take the
metal rod you're going to put it in the top hole pop it into the bottom
hole pretty cool right okay so now what I'll
do okay hold hold the presses because I kind of got a little I got my needle already
here let me get this out of out of the back here so I can get back into a position that makes
sense okay let me
see I'm not really sure
oh did that
no we might have lost that stay we'll stay on this is what I'm thinking I'm
going to push this out of the way JN
we just get a little closer here there we go okay so it's kind of
awkward because I'm not I'm like trying to set it up for the camera all right so we're gonna come behind all right right
hand so still the same same dance and I'm going to pick up uh you won't be able to see me picking up the beads but
that is what I'm doing two three so really it just gets it up off of your
table oh now it wants to grab everything though hold
on obviously you would have this in front of you um I'm trying to position
it in front of me but also for you so so I'm just going to pop them in just like
I was doing nothing really different other than than the loom is in an upright position
now so
okay no problem at Allan I'm I'm happy you asked I mean it makes sense
right by the way if you did buy a creative Soul uh kit
yesterday um I posted that if you wanted to add any of the coasters
um you could do uh I I figured it out you can fit four in there so but you
need to let me know so I can add them to your order and then I'll just send you the in voice um and then that way if they go in
your creative sold box there won't be any extra
shipping so is that helping
lean so like if I was working on it for me me like if I wasn't trying to make
sure you had the best um view so it would be in front of me this is my body
right and I'll just do it this way for a hot minute so that you could see my
actual truth um and how I would be using it not you know like for reals so let's
just pick up these guys three of these guys oops except for wants to be a part
of my chair
too my God there's a cricked in
here I got a crcket on the loose so yeah so like
this is how I would have it positioned and um my my chair is a
little low so I'd probably get my pillow to work on she looks Regal in her throne
she really
does so is that helping you um everyone with a better visual of like how you
would put your loom in uh into the stand and how you would work on it
it's
good it's hard to work on it
sideways yes
we put the C in clever like I had mentioned before we've
been talking about a Jew Loom stand forever in a day I just couldn't wrap my head around like why you know like I
like to have things that are purposeful right like I don't want to just make
things to make things um and so for a couple of years
now Robert and I have gone back and forth and then this was finally the uh the one
that made
sense
oops okay I can't I can't work sideways you
guys I'm GNA have to go back down because I can't can't uh I can't show you the proper camera and me work on
this so hold on you know what I I do want to see something hey why don't you try show him how to use it in the Cradle
instead I I was just gonna do that and then you scared the panties
off it's like who is that in the background I've not done it this way
yet see my chair is hold
on I've lost um my C my overhead camera so you can also just lay it
down okay so it's it basically just lifts it up
right so it's it's got its throne and it's got its
cradle
is that helping everybody can everyone see that Joan you could take my overhead off because I can't get it to be
positioned correctly there you go that's
better
these are really great I I am boy I'm just like having this visual
of everybody in a workshop and with their Jewel looms and the stand
and our wine caddies with our chardonay
which you know what I think next week is that's what I'll do I think next week um
I will decorate the caddies I'll do the bead work and stuff
that I'm have Vision that I'm
visualizing
I can get my beads over here
remind me to show you the other half of my uh I finished the loops on the other side of my NAA project remind me to show
you it's really pretty and I requested my my paints from
Royal T Talons so I'm super stoked to get
those do I have a blank caddy what do you mean
blank like one that's not been decorated I have one that I mean I don't
have one without are you saying one that doesn't have roses or grap vines on
it or just one that's not
beaded I don't know let me know I can't see Jan so you'll have to tell me what
she say up to what size beads and fire polish crystals would you recommend the
fire line thread um I always use the
0.006 anywhere from a 2 MIM an 110 too
15o too um all the way on up to you know a a
12 mm beads so I mean that's what I'm normally working
with I haven't ever found that I needed to use a different size of wildfire I guess if that's the question I just
always have had success with the
0.006 I feel like with looming with bead weaving on a loom I feel like there's a
a lot more forgiveness and a lot of flexibility and
um for using so many different things right
like I just I don't feel like there's like oh my gosh you have to use this
size or I mean looming just gives you the freedom to really um use so many
different things where I think and I am absolutely not proficient in off
beadweaving off loom bead weaving um but it does seem like there are some particulars you know like different
beating different size beating thread and what have
you where with weaving on a loom I just feel like it's a free-for-all party it's why it's right at my
alley I want to use anything and every I always say if it ain't moving it's fair
game try it
out was that um who asked that question Cynthia or Caroline Oh Caroline does
that sound okay Caroline oops whoa I literally almost
just dropped all my
beads and and I do want to kind I I'll correct
myself on one thing I am not a 15o girl right like my girlfriend
Brandy um who does a lot of our patterns uh she's a 15 15 old girl um and I'll
have to ask her what size she really likes beating with on the
loom because I don't I that is I'm not proficient in the well
I just don't use the 15 o like they're so tiny they're gorgeous but um I'm not
sure you know Wildfire only came into my life when I started working with Beeton
uh on the jewel project because prior to that we were using fishing line
back on Al's crate of living literally would go to the fishing
store uh shop and you know we were buying uh big rolls of fishing line and
at times we would use Nyo but all we ever had back in the day was like white
and so I mean I have bracelets that were just made with fishing
line
so you could see like you're just doing the same repetitive process with a bracelet like this um you can use
different colors you could mix it up it could be 5 mm fire polish beads it could
be um a combination of seed beads that fit in the same little warp like
whatever you can fit in each little warp you could use different type of beads I mean there's so many things just with a
basic process like creating your warps and then you know doing the Ws and then
the rest is just like a creative shorish board like you know you have such an
opportunity to do um lots of different
things so I think I just got a couple more rows
me do off that one ended up being a little too
big for my wrist I might have to put that one in your what's what size wrist do you have
Joan I can't remember
whoops forgot to go
under I might have to put it in your
box so it's pretty cool to see like you know I think working with it in an upright position and then you know
laying it down in the Cradle the options that the stand gives you it's pretty amazing
okay
oh pay attention to what you're doing there Jules
whoops just knocked her out of her
cradle okay I think for this one I might go ahead and stop right here because like I said
the other one was a little so I don't know if I want to do two more rows or
not yeah I think I'm going to stop I like my bracelets to be a little
tighter so
um okay so I'm going to bring you back back up here oh you know one thing that
I do like to do I'm going to scooch this hold on I really like to make sure to go when
I'm done I got to remember to start doing it on that first row too i' like to go under I like to go under the warps
through the through the beads just as another anchor
for securing the first and the second row which I forgot to do on the first
row but oh well it help
happens so then when I'm just going to come down a couple
rows so I'm just weaving back
through and then I'm just going to take the needle and go through that first bead and then out in in between that
second and first bead and then just anchor on to the warp and this is where
I'm going to tie my little knot to hide it
and then I'll just tug it down so you can't really see it and then I'm going to do it
again and I just go back through the
loop and then I'm just going to push that through the
back this way I can use the
um wildfire burner and
so I'll just leave a tail for now and then I'll go back and use the Wildfire
burner to to secure
that sometimes you can just undo your knot I'm not going to like fuss with it if I can't get it undone I mean because
it doesn't
matter oh actually I wanted to do that before I did that H bummer okay hold on
I gotta I'll do that later all right just get keep that out of the way I'm talking to myself
sorry and then I'm just going to do these little knots so I'm just taking the warps
just making like a little knot there and I like to get it as
close I'll just and I'll hold on to the warps because I don't want to like distort the bracelet right and have it
shift and then I'm going to do that on this
side so I'll just like walk down the little
knot there because I want to get it as close and then I'll like take each warp and kind of pull on it then I take these
two and do the same
thing and then usually whichever end is longest if if that's how it worked out
that's the end like this is pretty equal this might be a smidge longer so
I'll use this end for my button and then I'm just going to put the two warps
through there and then I like the clean look these
days except for I did that on that one so I won't I won't do the clean look we'll be
Rowdy we'll be Rowdy with this one so I'm just gonna take these
guys
and then I'll pull that all the way
down and then just um do a
knot and because I am doing it this way I might choose to get a piece of like red artistic
wire and then come in and like wire wrap or silver I could do silver too that
would be fine so there's the one end and then for sizing I'll just put that on my
wrist and try to figure out how big my Loop needs to be so I just kind of like
do this crazy little thing where I'm trying to with one hand figure it
out so yeah so I could see like I need my Loop to be yeah so what is that like a little
bit maybe an inch or something so then I'll wiggle my way out of here
okay and we'll just make a loose knot to make sure I don't like to make anything too secure so that if I do have to
adjust I have the freedom to do so so I'll just kind of do that for
right now it's super pretty huh it's really
fun yeah so I'll go in there and tighten and clean up that mess but gorge in in
less than what in less than it's four 455 and
I talked a lot like usual and still got it done and then what you want to do is if
you buy the kit you're going to get that little made with love heart then you'll just grab a jump ring and then you're
just going to put that onto the hemp like that easy peasy pumpkin squeezy you didn't
start until about 20 minutes after I talked a lot sorry so that's that is a
wide cuff very cool hey you know what would be fun to wear too oh we'll put
Maria in the middle hold on let's put Maria in the
middle that's so cool oh my God totally are we come on

videotape it I like a chardonay please with my earrings just a little
chardonay with my earrings right here and I'd like to sit here and just drink my chardonay with my
earrings did you screenshot them they're so
cool okay Maria wanted to see did Maria want to see the caddy I didn't
understand her request I don't know if you were just wanting to see the
blank those earrings are made for swe there could be dancing tomorrow you just never know with with my
girlfriends wear your hair up and show them off yeah I should do that except for I don't have anything strong enough
to hold this mon like all this hair I just have so much hair I've got my hair is definitely
from Portugal but anyway Maria is this what you wanted to see the
caddy so the this is the caddy I don't know if this is what Maria
was asking me yes that is what I wanted to see yeah so you put it over I mean this is such a horrible way to show it
but you put it over a bottle a wine bottle and it's got two two slots for your stemware okay but
we also drilled holes into it all the way around so in the kit you're getting
like a plethora of gorgeous beads and artistic wire so you could like you you
know make swirly thingies and then string your beads and like chandeliers right like just gorgeous chandeliers let
me get that out of the way and um or you can make S hooks right heavier
S hooks S hooks out of heavier wire to
turn it into a jewelry display so like if you want to hang your necklaces or whatever off of it so it's got options
but it's intention is a wine caddy put it over the bottle slide your stemware
in um but then I was like well it has to be decorated okay so so there's two
Swarovski adorable gorgeous pink crystals in this
kit um they're they have a a foil back
they don't have a hole so you're you're going to have to decide what to do with them I and they're real they're the real
ones and so I thought it might be fun to put like at least one of the sovy hearts
like you know around this area like you could just glue it down really nice and then what I was telling
everybody is there room in the box so that if you want to add the coaster the matching coasters um then you can you can do that
so we're going to have a whole you if you go to the website J loom.com click on home decor you're going to be able to
see like The Coasters because there's also a four there's also one that does four
stemware right it holds four for stems so then you got glass glass and then all
of them we put the holes on so that you can you can do you know chandelier
type I can't believe I'm so tacky this is like my I'm not GNA say you know what
I'm thinking like why don't I have a pretty bottle God I'm such a goober I am a dork I am a
dork okay anyway this is the Grapevine like a traditional pattern but I wanted
um something really beautiful for the creative Soul peeps for um you know
valentin's because I am so grateful to all the members and um can you make them

on lots of cool stuff there just is so
cool oh Lena wait to watch till from the beginning enter enter with caution hey
again thank you if you're new if you're new to watching um you know the intention is just to uh inspire you to
do to to weave you know I mean when I
birthed the original jewel loom it was during a time where the bead
shops in this C in our country mostly were really having a hard time they were
really struggling I was a part of like some big bead organizations and um I really wanted to
come out with something that would help them teach their customers and and sell
beads and as we all know it takes it can take a lots right so that's really where
that pass a lot of the passion came from and then just over the years um as you
can see I mean so many different things have birthed so this channel juwel Loom is really about um creativity about
inspiration and again from time to time you might see two people talking about
creativity you know and sometimes we might talk a
lot but I hope it's worth listening because we really do want to talk about
creativity and inspiring and I I'm a huge Healing Arts you know supporter I
truly believe in the idea of of filling up your soul with something that you do
with your hands even if it's cooking or gardening or what crafting whatever it might be I do believe in the connection
of healing by doing so you know that's an amazing story I I just how that came
about because you also I mean for teaching and things this is actually the
easiest one to use the most economical one because it I mean it's one of the um
Best Buys plus it doesn't waste your Wildfire so it's really amazing that you
brought it out for that reason I mean the economical use compared to other looms too is yeah
amazing yeah no I I really did I I was uh it was during a time I mean you got
to go back to 20 late 2011 2012 when I was going
through the patent process and everything and the process with beon and then um and then she she came out was
she come out 2012 or 2013 I always get those two years because they're kind of like all merg together but yeah you know
it was really a very um very purposeful like I want people to do things with
their hands I want to help the independent bead shop throughout the country and so um yeah so anyway Healing
Hands for the soul yes yes I love that that's beautiful that's super beautiful
