How to Make and Build a Plarn Loom
Tuesday, October 21st, 2008How to Make and Build a Plarn Loom
- Find a 4 foot 1×2 piece of wood. You could actually dumpster dive for this. You might have a friend or family member who has a scrap piece of lumber. If not you can get it from you local hardware store or lumberyard. I got mine from Lowes.
- I cut that 1×2 into 4 one foot sections
- With wood glue and nails, I constructed a square frame.
- I gave it some time for the glue to dry then I marked where I was going to place the screws. I made marks one inch apart all the way around the frame.
- With a drill bit slightly lighter than the drywall screws that I was using, I drilled pilot holes for each screw.
- I screwed a drywall screw into each hole leaving about half to a quarter of an inch of the screw above the wood. I eventually got out my battery powered screwgun when my arm started to hurt from turning the screws with a screwdriver.




There you have it. A finished plarn loom.
