Top Tips for Bead Loomers: magnets for bead looms!

Bead looming is fun! But what's not so fun is mislaying your beading needle 😞 I'm sure we've all done it.

A cool feature of the Beadsmith Ricks Beading Loom and Little Ricky is they both have magnets to keep your needle safe. I've often wondered why all looms don't come with a magnet?

Last week, after yet again scrabbling around for a needle on a dark carpet, I decided to take action!

I went onto eBay and searched for 'sticky magnets' and found the perfect item!

These self adhesive magnet circles are just the job for sticking to my looms 👍

March Meet The Maker is back for 2023! It all kicked off today so come on over to Instagram and follow along with me and thousands more creatives worldwide taking part in this fun challenge all month.

The first prompt was 'Brand Origin' so for this one I took the opportunity to do the grand reveal of the revamped Lakeland Loom logo!

Living in the Loom age!

 

It's a great time to be alive!

I love you to the Loom and back

 

Seed bead mad (not just looming crazy!)

As you will learn in future blog posts, I was fascinated by seed beads before I’d even heard of looming! Shall I do a blog series about my collection?

A load of looming looms!

Hi there all you loomers and loom fans! Something’s looming! This is an aerial view of some retro looms from my collection. Don’t they look fun? Some are by kids toy manufacturers, some are from craft suppliers. Some I don’t know who they were made by! Stay tuned for a series of blog posts about my looms!
