The Beadsmith Extra Wide Metal Bead Loom Kit, Includes Extra Wide Loom (14.5" x 6" x 8.5"), Thread, Needles, and 36 Grams Glass Beads for Bracelets, Necklaces, Belts, and More

When I was warping/casting on the nylon string it took some time bc it was my very first time but I’d say it was fairly easy. The spacing is a little bit big for the seed beads I have in my collection. In this pic are miyuki beads size 11/0 and I just made sure while doing the return pass to tighten my thread but yea would totally recommend to anyone looking to buy a quality loom that matches the price. Bc I bought the $20 version and it’s wider than the other so you can create wider stuff. This is the loom stitch but you can experiment with brick and peyote if you wanted to. Good luck out there beaders!

I have done a good amount of research on beading looms, and find that this is a great first loom. If you tighten the rods too much, it will begin to twist the frame out of balance, so just be mindful of that. I am choosing to rate the actual loom with my review stars, since that is the main component. I have had no problems using this loom, though, the other supplies it comes with are low quality and frustrating to work with... I worry for some newbies, these inferior supplies could deter people from using this loom ever again. **I recommend either getting rid of these extra supplies, or upgrading and increasing the price by a few bucks!** For anyone new to bead looming, do yourself a favor and grab some nymo size D thread, a longer beading needle, and a couple of tubes of your favorite colored seed beads from Michaels. Those few changes are a BIG step up from the supplies in this kit. I learned this by watching youtube vids, and thank goodness I did! All in all, this is a simple, easy to use loom! Happy beading!!

As a novice beader, I thought it would be fun to grab one of these and try out a few projects. It comes with beading needles (very small, with tiny eyes), thread (actually pretty decent quality), and an assortment of beads. I wouldn't really recommend using the beads that come with it, unless you have some supplemental ones to go with it and don't mind the mismatch. I've made a couple of bracelets on here already, and here is what I think:Be prepared to bend this sucker outwards. As it is, you really don't have much room from one end of the loom to the other. My first project was about 5 inches long before I ran out of space. (This included being so close to the end that it actually pulled the project apart somewhat.) If you're like me and have a bigger wrist, that just won't cut it. I bent the metal outwards as evenly as I could on both sides and was able to expand my projects by about 3 inches. I could probably get a bit more out of it, but I'll hold off for now. It does make the loom sit much higher, but I found it helped bring the work closer to my face, which allowed me to sit straighter and not strain my back as much.It's wobbly, and it moves. Even prior to bending it myself, the loom did not sit flat on the table. One corner always sits just a bit higher than the other 3. It's not a horrible issue to deal with, but it's there. Also, unless you have a slip-proof surface to use this one, it will move around. I work on wooden tables with no kind of mat or cloth underneath, so at first I was fighting the loom as it cruised around my workspace. You can get used to it after a while, but you might want a slip-proof mat to place under it.The wooden dowels hold really well. I was afraid that bending the frame would knock them loose or make them spin, but it didn't. As long as you secure them like they're meant to be, you shouldn't have any issues.It does what it was intended to do. There's no fancy way to thread your warps. You'll have a boatload of threads to deal with after you cut your piece loose. There is virtually no information on how to use the loom. (I recommend YouTube videos.) It's a basic, entry-level loom for anyone who wants to try it out before going all in with a fancy one.

Easy to operate and use

Perfect for what I wanted. Easy to use and I’m happy to find a loom not made out of plastic

El producto sale tal cual se describe, sin embargo al no estar bien protegido y confirmando que el transportista es cero delicado con sus productos, una de las varillas llegó doblada, esto afecta la calidad del producto. Por eso creo que deben mejorar el embalaje o empaque.

Hard at first but once you figure out how to lay the beads it’s super fun!

Very good kit to use as you learn. Been able to do a few pieces on it and they have looked great. Small, lightweight and easy to pack in my craft cabinet.

This small beading loom works fine, but I had to re-bend the ends to make them perpendicular. The original bends to 45 degrees made the base weave length too short, so straightening the bends was an easy solution.

I bought this for my friends 2 girls and they love it. Their creativity in making braclets etc. Is nice to watch and they are proud of what they have done...soo much better than vid games.

Las agujas y las piedritas no son las adecuadas para estos tejidos. No funcionan. Lo único que funciona del paquete es el telar

O material deveria ser mais pesado, para que não ficasse saindo do lugar .
