Hi everyone! Have you ever seen your friends wearing rubber band bracelets? Well, now you can make them inexpensively. First, you’ll need a Rainbow Loom to get started. Inside the box you’ll find a rubber band bracelet loom, rubber bands, and a hook. I personally like to organize my rubber bands. You can do this by stapling bags to create sections them organizing them by color.
Here’s the how-to for:
The Basic Rubber Band Bracelet
- Grab your loom and the colors that you want.
- Turn the loom so that the arrow is facing away from you.
- Begin placing the first rubber band on the arrow to an adjacent nub.
- Then, starting at where you placed the first rubber band, overlap the second color to the next nub.
- Be sure that the colors are overlapping one another. This is crucial for later steps.
- Continue looping using the same pattern.
- Finish to the end of the row.
- When your done, flip the loom so that the arrow is pointing toward you.
- Using your Rainbow Loom hook, skip the first rubber band and hook the color under it.
- Grab the rubber band (blue) and gently pull with the rubber band still on the hook.
- Loop it on the adjacent nub.
- Hook the color under the blue rubber band (in the diagram you would’ve hooked green)
- Gently grab and pull off the nub.
- Then hook it to the adjacent one.
- Repeat steps 12-14 till the end of the row. Careful, sometimes the rubber bands fall off the hook. To prevent this from happening, use your finger to assist the hook.
- Then take a C clip, and hook it on to the first rubber band with the arrow facing you.
- Now it is time to remove the bracelet. Pick up the C clip the the rubber band still hooked on and gently pull off the rubber bands.
- Continue to pull. Do not worry if the rubber bands come off in a weird way, since they are looped it’s fine. As you pull, you will begin to see the bracelet forming.
- Stop at the last loop.
- Hook the C clip on to the remaining loop and you’re done!
