clipped from: hubpages.com I've been an avid beader for many years. I love making beaded strips for belts and hatbands etc, but often the small commercial size looms would frustrate me to no end, having to loosen screws and roll up my finished work. Being on a tight budget at the time, and having little money for crafty things, one day i decided to see if i could build a loom that i could make with materials i had laying around at home, and at the same time, provide an easy to manage way of beading long strips. Here is a step by step tutorial of my design that has lasted for me for over 10 years and is still going strong, and cost me nothing to build.
