Miyuki weaving on a loom

Discover how to weave Miyuki beads on a loom.
This technique shows you the basic weaving method for your bracelets, rings, etc.

For this achievement you need:

A loom
weaving thread, in 0.25mm or 0.30mm
a needle
Miyuki Délica 11/0 beads or Rocailles 11/0
a clasp if needed

THE  weaving techniques:

Brickstich or Peyote (for which you do not need a loom) are made by hand. The beads are positioned in a staggered pattern from one row to the next, which allows for more detailed patterns and freer shapes.

THE  Loom weaving allows you to make weaves for which the beads are placed aligned on each row. In this case you can make strips of beads with the possibility of creating a widening or narrowing to make a diamond in the center of the bracelet for example.

Find this technique again soon in another tutorial.

Step 1:

To begin, choose the thread color.

Choose your pattern and create a grid/diagram that will guide you through assembly.

Tie a knot on one of the pivots.

While holding the spool in your hand, place the line between the spring and the opposite spring.

Wrap the wire around the pivot several times and return to the first pivot.

Be careful to keep good thread tension.

Continue in this way until you have the desired number of rows.

To know  the desired width and therefore the number of rows of wire:

As an indication, for a width of 1cm you will need to place 8 round trips of wire and therefore 7 beads in the intervals.

Then tie a knot by returning to the first pivot. For an odd number of beads, finish on the first.
For an even number on the second.

Step 2:

Cut a new wire of approximately 1.50 m (depending on the creation)

If necessary, it will always be possible to make a connection.  which will be placed in a pearl.

Tie a double knot on the outer thread on the right.

Step 3:

Then place  the needle on the thread.

Depending on the clasp used, you can make a wire weave in  alternating the passage  below and above the wires. Do 3 or 4 back and forths.

Use this technique with tube clasps but  not for a clean finish (eg: cuff)

Then thread the beads of the first row following the grid.

Pass the beads under the loom then, with a finger, position the beads between the threads and pass the needle back through the row of beads.

The wire first passes under the vertical wires and then over them. The beads therefore slide on the wires.

Continue in this way until you have the desired number of rows.

If you need a wire connector, make sure the knot is hidden in a bead.

Step 4:

Once the weaving is finished, cut the threads at the pivots.

Be very careful because the beads slide on the wires.


Then, depending on the desired result, you will finish in different ways.

For a flexible bracelet, you will have done the weaving of threads at the beginning and at the end.

Then you will make knots with the threads.

The first with the second, the second with the third...  in order to block the beads.

You can use a tube clasp to hold the first row of pearls plus the wires or a magnetic clasp...

For a clean finish or to stick the weaving to a structure for example,
you will have to put all the threads one by one into the weaving and bring them out towards the back.

And there you have it!
