How to Start A Beaded Hatband

- Here I discuss how to start measuring a beaded hatband. I measured out 20” for the beaded portion which I found to be a universal size. I forgot to mention in the video, but each end of the measuring tape should have a tail long enough for the empty space and for the weaving that your leather will be glued to. If using a total measurement will help you better understand this concept, then measure out a total of 30” to ensure your string is long enough.
Thanks for this Video. I've been looking for it for as long as I can, as I'm attaching the yarn, which is sooo long, to the loom.
Nice tutorial thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Hello - I am new to beading, I want to make a hat band for a new Fedora I purchased. I am looking at western (possibly Native American) or Southwestern. What type of thread are you using for your products, can you share a link for where you purchase your supplies?
I apologize for the late response! This slipped through the inbox.
Here is a link to my favorite thread! I use Beadsmith S-Lon Beading Cord. You can follow me on tiktok for more tips and tricks(:

Your tutorials are great! I'm a beginner and you've taught me so much already. When you do start beading, as you work your way down, do you just roll the beaded section as you work your way down? Hope my question is clear.
If I’m understanding correctly, your asking how I continue to bead the excess string and where the beaded portion goes. Yes, the top and bottom bars of my loom are bolted, therefore when I run out of string, I can loosen the bolts and roll them so the beads coil around the top and the blank string is available for me to bead!
Also, I am very glad my videos help you! These are just techniques I’ve learned over time and I continue to learn every day, so do not be afraid to try new things that may work better for you too!
@@shadyladiestrading5206 Yes! That's exactly what I was trying to figure out. Thank you so much. It got off a little with me but it was my first time. You ladies do amazing work!
What the brand of you loom I like it?
Hello. I purchased my loom off of Etsy. You can find it here:

How do you weave the ends?
I just uploaded a video of this! Please give it some time to be reviewed by CZcams and then it will be available at this link: czcams.com/video/g21GJZuX4TU/video.html
Where did you get your loom?
I purchased my loom from an Etsy shop called Number86ByAlex. There are many different options to choose from, but I chose this one because it is less stressful on my neck and shoulders.
What size thread do you use
I use size size D or size B. Usually in the brand Nymo
@@shadyladiestrading5206 Do I use Nymo D for both the warp threads and the actual beading?
@@valeriemartinet6334 Yes. I use the same string for the entire band. I know some people do not like doing that, but it creates a more consistent look and your threads will look nearly non-existent when you do.
how to you keep your hatband from getting distorted when you roll it over the nail?
I actually roll it off to the side of the nail and adjust my strings on the opposite side!
