Anyone use a beading loom

[Autumn Faerie]

If that's what they're called - they're like a small weaving loom for use with beads. You thread some nylon thread in lengths over it and then make a line at a time by weaving your beads onto it. It's really easy and quite relaxing to do and I've made a couple of bracelets BUT that's where I get stuck.

I'm not really sure how to finish them off, you're left with a load of threads which can be woven back into the beads but then you don't have anything to attach a clasp to.

I'm not an experienced jewellery maker at all, papercrafts is more my thing, but I love using the loom, and would like to make more bracelets to sell alongside my cards but they to be finished off much better than the mess I made of my first couple.

Any help gratefully received

Thanks x

before you weave the threads back into the beads, thread them through the clasp.

And I think you can gradually reduce the number of beads to make them come to a point for a single clasp or splitring. Or presumably attach the threads to the several rings of one of those "bar end" (whatever they're really called) clasps instead...

Agree to above, you can also make a bead loop (of the small beads) at one end and a large bead at the other.

I have also made small beaded bags (medicine bags) on the large and small loom.
