Picking a bead loom can feel a lot like choosing ice cream—there's no wrong choice, but some definitely pair better with your project’s flavor! Whether you’re whipping up delicate bracelets or ambitious beaded masterpieces, the right loom makes all the difference. Let’s help you scoop up the perfect match for your next bead-venture!
The Ricks Beading Loom (2-Warp)
Ever felt frustrated by dozens of tiny warp ends staring back at you after weaving? Enter the Ricks Beading Loom. It simplifies finishing by reducing your warp ends to just two—yep, only two ends to deal with! Perfect for intricate designs, statement cuffs, or bead-woven necklaces, this loom gives you the freedom to combine different bead shapes and sizes without adapters.
Adjustable from 2 to 12 inches, it suits both delicate jewelry and larger statement pieces like cuffs or chokers. It’s fully assembled (yay!), meaning you can dive straight into your project without wasting time hunting for screws or reading complicated instructions—because let’s be real, instructions are more like suggestions anyway, right?
Little Ricky Beading Loom
The Little Ricky Loom is like a fun-sized candy bar of bead looms—compact, convenient, and delightful to use. It offers the same warp-minimizing magic as its bigger counterpart (Ricks Loom) but is sized perfectly for smaller projects. It is ideal for beginners or crafters who prefer faster, smaller projects like delicate bracelets, earrings, and mini-beaded creations.
Plus, setup takes less than five minutes! Great news if you’re impatient (or if you’ve already poured a glass of wine and your beads are calling). Despite its smaller size, it accommodates a wide range of bead sizes, offering flexibility without complexity.
Beadalon Jewel Loom™
The Jewel Loom™ is practically begging to join you on your crafting adventures. Its lightweight, ergonomic shape fits right in your hand for easy, comfy beading—no wrist cramps here! Its narrow working surface (2.75” wide) makes it especially great for trendy bracelets, delicate chokers, rings, and even hair accessories.
Its portability means you can bead just about anywhere: watching Netflix, waiting for your kid’s soccer practice to end, or hanging out with friends at your next craft night. It’s the loom you didn’t know you needed—but now you can’t live without.

It’s great for creating straightforward projects like friendship bracelets, keychains, headbands, barrettes, and more.
The kit includes everything: a loom, assorted beads, needle, thread, and clear instructions, so you can go from zero to “look what I made!” faster than you can untangle your headphone cords. It's perfect for gifting or jump-starting your beading obsession.
