Make a Beading loom for a nice gift or for yourself

- This holiday season I made this loom that jewelry makers use for beading. I decided to customize it and want to show you the process I used in making it. Also ....sorry for the bad joke @ the end!
I want to thank you for posting this I thought that I would be able to make a beading loom just as you have currently I am homeless and I have been making spare money by making keychains and bracelets and I have been asked about making beaded bracelets that would require me to use a loom I can no longer find them in my local stores so it's awesome to see that I can actually make a very affordable one by using scrap pieces from the cutting table at home Depot and just a few other things that I will need to purchase and it would probably cost me less than $10 plus I love making stuff with my hands. It's crazy that I started making jewelry when my mother passed away and I really didn't have much interest in jewelry and how much I have been able to accomplish with making it the encouragement I have received from my community to keep making it's unbelievably awesome. And I thought that not having a beading loom was going to be a difficult obstacle for me to get around but nope you showed me how easily I can knock it out of my way thanks a lot. Stayed blessed
Master beader... Now I have to find a way to use that in a conversation with my mom.
Great job! Thanks for sharing..Hope she loved it. I think it's awesome that you made her such a thoughtful and wonderful gift..
I LOVE this. That's it I'm making one.
That's awesome! What beader wouldn't want to be the recipient of such a cool, personalized gift?
How would the beader adjust the tension on the warp threads (that run the length of the loom)? I think it would be hard to string the warp threads with even tension when just tying them to an eye hook. Plus, thread stretches when under tension. How would the beader take up the slack? On the metal loom you showed at the beginning, this function is achieved by the wooden rollers. Loosen the roller's wing net, rotate the roller to tighten the tension, then tighten up the wing nut.
I do have one suggestion, if anyone else will be making one. Please make one of the end pieces that hold the rod several inches taller than the other end piece. The user would work with the shorter end toward their body and taller end further from their body. This allows the beader to better see what they are doing as the work progresses, without having to stretch and bend over or to pick up the loom. I work on one of the little metal looms like you showed in the beginning. I finally mounted it on wood to make the loom angle down toward me. Eliminated a LOT of stress on my back and neck as I work.
Beautifully made ❤.
Awesome work. The only thing I might change is to have the threaded rods a bit higher to be a bit more comfortable when feeding through the underside, but that is all preference.
Great job! Linda's a lucky girl. I know I'd love one.
Mary Stoddard That was the first thing that crossed my mind too ;)
Mine too: my unoriginal comment above testifies to that.
Well done 👌
The best Bead Loom that I've ever seen. Nice work.
I though where were going to have a follow up post that this is the ONLY bead loom you have seen...LOL
Perfect ❤
Thank you for sharing. Cool idea. I really like the way you made it so personal. Great job!!!
Beautiful gift. You’re very thoughtful.
It was really nice
Wonderful job Christopher! Love this bead loom, I'm a bead weaver and made my own which is very similar but not nearly as pretty :) LOL
That's awesome.. thanks for sharing.. Was looking for ways to build my own.. thank you
Lucky Linda. You made it look so easy to make.
wonderful ...nice ,thoughtful gift !!!
Wonderful work and great idea, thanks for sharing.
Thanks Francisco
Cute but the metal threads will hurt the warp and the base limits one from using hand underneath. I asked the hardware store for some springs but they weren't very cooperative
THIS IS A GREAT IDEA IM MAKING ONE AND IT IS A BETTER IDEA THAN THE SEVERAL STORE BOUGHTEN ONES I PERSONALLY PURCHASED.....THANKX
Nice. I'm looking for one that stands up a little and not sit flat. I think it would be easier than looking straight down while working with the beads to strings.
What a thoughtful gift
hi Chris this is absolutely genius you do very beautiful work I might need one for me
if I were to get one,,, I would need the area where the threaded rod goes in to be taller tho,nice idea!
I am going to try making this.
Thanks for the information on making this.
Wonderful, let me know if you have any questions
Christopher Demetrick I will. I probably have most of the parts at home.
Its Just a best way to make one
Thank you for sharing
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Beautiful !!
Beautiful work... kudos 😃
Great video!!! I am a beginner at beading so I will so make one of those. I seen a few video and only 2 of them I like. You and a girl who made her own. Thanks again. Im subscribing to your channel!!!
I was just going to make a plain old boring one for my first try at making, but after this video, I think I will try to make one with pazazzzzzzz
I would like to know the measurements
That is awesome! Thank you. Do you know how to make an adjustable loom too?
thanks you for this i was looking for a wider one for myself but there quite expensive so now i will make one :)
Oh wau! Christopher you made want to buy a REAL SAW! finally people We've got a
PULSE!!. I am curios about the Dimensions Or can I just Eye Ball It. .. wait! Im watching the Video Again. You Are AWSOME SAUCE! THANKS SOO MUCH.
very nice. & lol master beader.
I can adjust from 10 inches to any length.
Very very nice.
How wonderful! I wish I had someone who would be so attentive and would make this for me,or even surprise me with this.
That`s a really great idea and an awsome present. The only thing that bathered me a little bit,was the waste of the blue material,when you cut it right in the middle :( Thank you very much for sharing :))
Ooooh i want one.
Cool build chris
Thanks Rami
Lucky Linda! :-)
How did LInda like it? Man, that looks nice....and far more attractive than those flimsy metal designs! you should sell these on Etsy, ever heard of that site? Thanks for sharing this vid!
+TripleMRocks I have been selling them ( one a month) ever since I posted this video over a year ago. I use Etsy
i really like that !!!!! would acorn nuts work on the rods ? ........You really worked that wood for a masterbeader lol :) great ending!!!
Your too funny.....lol
Acorn nut only screw on about 1/4 inch so they would not work well.
Hello Christopher,
Yesterday I saw your video of how you made the personalized beading loom. I would like to order one from you personalized for Lexi. I am a jewelry designer/artisan owner of Lexi Butler Designs.
I am going to make a lot of wire wrapped bracelets with leather and gemstones/crystals and this tool would be really awesome to work with.
The only thing that I would need you to change is to replace one end hook with a 40 degree angled screw with a medium-large round head so I can tie my leather cords ( up to 4 each 1.5 mm ) securely without slipping off.
Would you please make me one? The size of 12 inches in length x 4 inches in width with a slip proof bottom too. 😊
I wrote you an email to.
Hmmm...no way to tighten the threads after warping the loom.
and flat...not so good.
Hi Chris:
You look like my brother, Chris. Cool. What are the dimensions of this loom and can it be made larger? Thanks.
Hi Christopher, I just finished watching your video. I'm from Australia and was wondering if you can make me one as well with my name on it and also how much would it cost. Thank you and thumbs up for you and your idea.
what is the dimensions please width and length
Hi Christopher I was wondering is u make and sell these. I'm disabled and don't no anything about power tools. so making one is an option for me. I'd love to have one heck I'd even buy two. thanks for sharing.
Bright blessings
+Lorma Margosiak If you want to email me at itsthedemsworld@gmail.com or on Facebook at Christopher Demetrick. I can give you the details. If you want to talk I will give you my phone # then.
Did she like it?
how much for that loom?
Who is Linda and did she love it?
What your measurement is it 12 inch by 3 inch
What size the wood cut off
This is a comment ONLY on your video skills. NOTE TO SELF: Close the bathroom door. Other than that, loved the video.
What kind of glue is this?
Cyanoacrylate or also known as C.A Glue. It was originally marketed as "Super Glue" - And the accelerator is a must for quick setups.

Hi Chris......do you make this to sell?
+Gracy Piñeiro Sure I have made about 6 of these for people contacting me due to this post. between the cost to build and personalize and shipping I sell them for $30. Two for $50 - email me or contact me on Facebook. thedemsworld@twcny.rr.com
Hi Christopher I’m disabled and can’t make this~ but would love for you to make me one ~ but if you did ~ I would love it to be a meter wide and a meter long ~ I like to bead wall hanging’s and at moment have to do this in very small sections and join them up after ~which as you can imagine a~is a pain ~ I live in Wales which is in 🇬🇧 ~ would love to know if you could make it, how long it would take, how much in pounds sterling it would cost and if you could send in post also!! Please Please say yes ~ I’m on Messenger if you would like to friend me so we could discuss this more!!
I work with small beads ~ 15* and smaller!!
Nice! love the joke!
Well I don't know anybody who does "bead(t)ing" so I skipped to the joke. Hope the "Bad Joke Police" don't start looming around your channel.
Shut the bathroom door next time.
Yo quiero una cuanto cuesta
This is lovely! Linda is lucky to get such a beautiful gift
