Therefore, in this article, we will discuss some very popular patterns which are very easy to make and look extremely attractive too. Here are some bracelet designs with beads, so read on and pick your favorite bead loom bracelet patterns.

In loom beading, it is very important to decide the pattern in advance so that you can decide the length of the bracelet (8 bead, 8 thread is most common). However, you can use two or more colors to make the designs varied, like a heart within a heart.
- Animals and Birds: Patterns with animals and birds are also very popular choices for these bracelets. There are many varieties in these patterns, depending on the ease of making them.
