I took a class in Minnesota.
Here is my first Rosemaling loom...
This was a piece of poplar from Home Depot. A thin 6" x 36" plank cut to about 8", makes a good starter size loom. I carved out the slot with a chip knife. You can make an easy one with a 5x8 picture frame and stir sticks from Michaels or Walmart. Just drill 1/16" holes, cut and glue them into the frame. You will need a bead reamer or needle file to clean those holes. Make sure there is no rough edges to catch your threads. I painted mine with milk paint base and oil paint design.
