Discover the quiet magic of turning a pile of glass beads into something beautiful, even if you have never touched a loom in your life.
If you have admired woven beadwork and wished you knew where to begin, this is the book that finally makes it simple. Written by longtime beading teacher Margaret "Maggie" Hartwell, The Complete Loom Beading Guide walks you from your very first crooked row to thirty stunning finished projects, with the patience and warmth of a teacher sitting right beside you.
This is not a book that assumes you already know the basics. It starts at the true beginning: what loom beading is, which tools and beads to buy (and which to skip), how to set up your loom without frustration, and the one skill that matters most, even tension. From there, you will weave your way through thirty complete patterns, each one fully written out and arranged so every project teaches you something new.
Inside this beginner-friendly guide you will find:

  • A gentle, jargon-free introduction to looms, seed beads, needles, and thread, so you buy the right supplies the first time
  • Step-by-step setup and weaving instructions with clear guidance on tension, the secret to professional-looking work
  • 30 complete patterns across three skill levels, from a simple striped bracelet to detailed florals, a mandala, a tree of life, and personalized name bracelets
  • Every pattern written in full: skill level, materials, finished size, row-by-row color key, numbered steps, finishing instructions, and an insider Beader's Tip
  • A complete troubleshooting chapter that solves uneven beads, breaking thread, shifting patterns, ragged edges, and every other beginner headache
  • Ideas for going beyond bracelets into wall art, jewelry, beaded bags, beading with children, and even selling your work
  • Photocopy-ready blank graph paper templates, a bead size and color reference, a resource guide, and a 40-term glossary
You do not need talent, expensive equipment, or any experience. You need a loom, a tube of beads, and the willingness to place one bead at a time. Maggie will handle the rest.
Pick up your needle, place your first bead, and start weaving today.
