A lot of new beaders start by learning to do loomed bracelets on a small wire craft bead loom so I get asked a lot if I have any loom patterns. Most of my loom patterns are more suitable for bigger looms. This one is very small, and is a good one for friendship bracelets, or inspiration bracelets with a single word on them.
The alphabet and ornaments are 5 beads high, so I'd suggest a border bead on each side which makes for a 7 bead wide bracelet. So if you're working on a loom, that would be 8 warp threads. Warp threads are the threads you string on the loom before beading.
Use the alphabet with standard loom or square stitch graph paper to graph out a pattern. The blank graph paper in this article is set up to print 6 bracelet strips on one sheet of paper, just save it to your hard drive and print at 100 dpi, or right click to open the image in a new window and print it from your browser. It's 80 beads long and 7 beads wide with every 10 beads marked in a pink. The extra sheets give you room to work to get it centered just the way you want it.
Here's the alphabet graph, including numbers and some ornaments. I included a < symbol for people who want to make a nice geeky bracelet with a <3 instead of the included heart design.

The blank graph paper is a single image with 6 blanks.

This loom is perfect for teaching younger children the basics of bead weaving with a loom. Instead of using fine thread and seed beads, it uses floss and small pony beads and a larger needle that's easier to handle. (affiliate link)
