I cant put them back in neckles cause I have many threads ,,my seed beads isnt big enough.Pls help me,,thank You all!!!!
I can help you with the peyote ends, but I am clueless with the loom work.
Do you already have your clasp attached when you start having trouble?
If so you;
Option #1: tie off the thread by going back through a few beads and do a half hitch knot, go through a few more beads and do another half hitch knot, I do it one more time and then through one beads and cut the thread.
Option #2: finish off your thread by weaving back and forth making a figure 8. After several 8's it should be safe for you to clip your thread.
I use option #1 if I am using a seed bead, because it tends to be a little loser, and I use option #2 if I am using delicas or treasures, they tend to sit closer and tighter so I feel safe using this option.
You can use either with most any of the off loom project.
For the ends of the loom work, I will leave that to be answered by the loom people.
Hope this helps.
Happy beading.
Happy Beading!!

Your welcome. I am glad I could help you with your ends.
Sue, you are SO helpful and wise!
I just joined the forum today and posted my own question under the "How To" forum and the "New to" forum as well, as I am sort of desperate for advice..
I hope that you can advise me as well!
