Slide Tube Handout  Looming Handout


Project Info:

Level: All Levels

Estimated time: Weekend Project

Sample by Kate Richbourg

A color-study in two tones that shade into each other, the Illusion Cuff comes together as if by magic. The Randi Cuff blends warm gold and cool gray together in an eye catching combo. There are no tricks in this design… 8/0 seed beads make it lightning-fast to complete and the result is a showstopper! We used the Jewel Loom for this project, but you can also use Sam’s method of using the design board as a loom. Pick your colors and follow along with our PDF pattern, end with a Loomed Bracelet Finishing Kit and presto! Your bracelet is complete!

This design uses two colors of 8/0 seed beads with beads leftover to use in another loomed project. Please see the Project Map below to acquaint yourself with the overall layout of the sample and consult the techniques below for the Illusion Cuff:

Watch the video on the Jewel Loom page for tips on warping the loom, or watch Sam’s video on using a design board as a loom in the video above.
