Bracelet Loom

Makeshift bracelet loom (for Staci):

What you need:

- tray with raised edges
- two large butterfly paper clips
- bracelet cording w/button for clasp

First, clip the two butterfly clips across from each other on opposite sides of the tray.

Flip each inner "wing" down.

String the button for the bracelet onto the cording and move to middle of cording, pull taut.

 Slip button and loop over the far wing of clip farthest from you.

Pull taut (you will be able to feel some tension adjustment as you pull)

Pull both ends of the cording around the opposite clip's outer wing and tie tautly.

 I use a double knot because it keeps the tension as I bead and it is still easy to get undone once you unclip the bracelet from the tray.

And now you are ready to bead!
