What you need:
bead loom,
beads,
thread,
thin needle that you can pull through the beads,
scissors,
weaving pattern
The letter patterns are for rows of nine beads.
Thus, you’ll need to cut off ten pieces of
thread.
The threads should be longer than your workpiece is going to be.
Knot all threads together on both sides. Separate the threads so that you get two strands. Then put on the strands between the nails. Now you can distribute the single threads into the
device.
These threads are called warp.
The thread with which you apply the beads is called weft.
Knot the weft to the outer
warp.
Slide a needle onto the weft.
String on nine small beads. Before you begin to weave letters, weave some normal rows first, unless the word is very long.
Weave the beads according to the basic weaving technique.
For the letters, use the weaving pattern. The colour that you use for the letters should differ from the colour for the rest of the beads. It is always good to use one dark and one bright colour. It is important that you start weaving the beads always on the same side so that you do not get confused with the
pattern.
 
You can also tick off the rows you have woven in the pattern
so that you do not weave any row
twice.
The letters are suited to the length of the woven item, not to the breadth.
Each square stands for a bead. There should be equal gaps between the letters.
