Beading Loom Patterns

How do I tie off the ends of a bead loom when the beads have been taken off the loom?
I just started to bead loom and I completed a pattern but I never tied off the ends to secure the beads. How can I do this now that the pattern has been taken off the loom
It’s easier, as you say, to do it while on the loom, but you can still secure the ends. Probably the easiest to do is a simple overhand knot very close to the last row of beads. You will need to stabilze the item you made somehow so it doesn’t move, and then tie a knot in bunches of a couple to several threads at a time. If you want to make a neat ending, there are several good ways to do it… they take a bit of work, but may be worthwhile.
