| Step 1: | ||||

To begin, choose the thread colour. Choose your design and make a grid/diagram to guide you through the assembly. Tie a knot in one of the pivots.

Then place the needle on the thread. Depending on the clasp you are using, you can weave the threads alternately under and over each other. Make 3 or 4 round trips. Use this technique with tube clasps but not for a clean finish (e.g. cuff). Then string the beads from the first row following the grid. |

Pass the beads under the loom then, using one finger, position the beads between the threads and pass the needle back through the row of beads. The thread first runs under the vertical threads and then over them. The beads slide over the threads.
