You can use the warp separator card that comes with the kit. It is optional to use the card separator. Next, lay your card separator in between the warp strands. If you see the image below, you will see that we have eight seed beads per row and thus we need nine warp strands.

The amount of warps you have is according to the amount of beads you have in a row, PLUS ONE. Adjust the wood piece/tailstock to your preferred bracelet length and start making your warp strands. These rods are where your vertical warp strands will lay.
Like the instructions you will receive, first you insert your metals rods. This continuous wrapping of the strands between rods will leave you with two threads at the end. A traditional loom will have multiple warp strands going up and down along the loom, while a Ricks Bead Loom will have only one strand that wraps back and forth, up and around between the two rods. The difference between a traditional bead loom and Ricks Bead Loom is the amount of warp strands you are using.
