Hi! My name is Sergey and this is python called Timosha
It means today we are going to make such a beautiful snake with Rainbow loom bands for April fools' day – the 1st April
Let's go!
For those who couldn't view the snake properly we are going to plat today with rubber bands, it will look like this
Sh-sh...It looks like a real snake
So you should prepare your bottom loom to plat it. Place the rows of the bottom loom in that way that one should stand a bit out as opposed to the rows on the sides
Open sides of the pegs should look towards you
We are going to start platting snake with a tail. The tail will be of such a type
The main color is yellow, also there will be rubber bands of white and black color in turn. We will just start with them
We take one rubber band of a black color and put it from the fist onto the second peg
Then we should put on a white rubber band and then a black one again. Than we should put on three rubber bands of the main color
In our case it's a yellow color. One, two, three
Then we repeat this picture: black rubber band, white rubber band, black rubber band and three yellow rubber bands
Black rubber band, white rubber band, black rubber band and three yellow rubber bands. One, two and three
We need to make the same line of rubber bands of the same colors in this row
We put on a black rubber band where there is a black one. We again put a white rubber band where there is a white one, again a black one, three yellow rubber bands
One, two , three
You may ask why we didn't put on pairs of rubber bands at once
Because when we put on rubber bands separately we are going to get a bit different type of platting
from the one we could have had if we put on rubber bands in pairs
There is a different picture, so we put them on in this way. Firstly we put on one row completely and then we put one more layer on the top in the same row
Finally we put on three yellow rubber bands. One, two and three
We put on the same line of rubber bands in the central row
There are black rubber band, white rubber band, then black rubber band and three yellow rubber bands
We should put on the second layer of rubber bands in the central row in the same way we did before
Now we should take one yellow rubber band and put it onto the last peg of the right row wrapping it around four times
We put it on, so that's one loop, wrap it into the second loop, third loop and the fourth loop of the rubber band
If you want your snake to have a very long tail, you may put on one more row in the same way we did that two rows
If that's length of the tail is enough for you, you may leave only two rows
Now we get to the platting process. We begin it with the peg we have just wrapped four loops on it
We stick a hook inside and move this rubber band with a backside of a hook
We grasp two rubber band at once from the inside, remove them from the peg and put onto the frontward peg
Then we stick a hook here, grasp two rubber bands from here, remove them from the peg and put them ahead
Here we have got black rubber bands we move them ahead grasping from the inside
then we move white rubber bands ahead grasping them from the inside, then we move black once
In such a way we plat them till the end of this row
When we got to the end of the row we stick a hook inside the last peg through all the rubber bands
You should hold them on the hook with your finger and we should take off all rubber bands we have just platted from this row
There are loops left on the hook. We need to put them onto the last peg of the central row
Now we are going to plat the central row. I move a tail a bit with my ring finger and little finger, then I stick a hook into the last peg
I grasp a pair of yellow rubber bands from the inside and put them on the peg which is situated frontwards
Then I stick the hook into the next peg and grasp a pair there, take it off and put onto the next peg
I grasp a pair here, remove it from the peg and put it onto the peg which is situated frontwards and plat in this way till the end of this row
We have reached the end, now we stick the hook here inside, hold the rubber bands on the hook and remove the tail from the bottom loom
If you have one more row put on, you need to plat it, having put on the rubber bands we have on the hook onto the last peg beforehand
Well, now we are going to plat the head and we will need a tail a bit later
If you have an additional hook you should put these loops onto it and put them aside
If you have no additional hook, you can put the loops on some last peg as we are going to plat here now
We need yellow rubber bands for platting as this color is the main one
We begin platting the head with putting on a pair of yellow rubber bands from the first peg of the central row onto the first peg of the left row
Then pit a pair of rubber bands from the right, from the first peg of the central row onto the first peg of the right row
Then we need to make eyes. In order to make eyes we need black rubber bands and wrap it around the hook four times
One loop, then the second one, third and fourth loop
We take a pair of yellow rubber bands, put onto the end of the hook and take off these four loops onto the pair of yellow rubber bands
We put one part of this pair onto the first peg of the left row and then put another part onto the second peg of the same row
We have got one eye. We are going to make the same second eye now. We wrap one, two, three, four loops
We take a pair of yellow rubber bands, put it onto the end of the hook
move four loops onto this pair and put one part of this pair onto the first peg of the right row and the second part we put onto the second peg
Then we should put four pairs of yellow rubber bands in line on each row
First pair, the second one, the third one and the fourth pair in the left row. We have got five pairs in total including a pair with the eyes
We also put on pairs on the right. One, two, three, four. We also need to put on rubber bands in pairs onto the central row
We should end on this peg. Let's count our rubber bands
One pair, the second pair, the third pair, the fourth one, the fifth pair, and here comes the sixth pair
Then we make the head round
We put pairs of rubber bands from the left peg directed to the center and put a pair from the right peg to the central one
Then there is a turn of the transversal rubber bands. We take one rubber band and start putting in with these last pegs
We put it in a triangle shape like this. One, two, three. There is the triangle we have got here. We need to put on the same triangle a bit higher
We put on one more triangle a bit higher, then we put on the last fourth triangle higher
Now let's get to the semi-product we made before
We return the loops from the peg back onto the hook and put them onto the last peg of the central row which contains rubber bands
We move all the loops there. Now let's get to the platting process
We should move the tail again with your ring finger and little finger to make platting easier
We stick the hook inside and grasp the highest pair of rubber bands. In my case this is the pair related to the right row peg
I move it there. I grasp the next pair of the same central peg, it relates to the left row peg, so we move it there
And finally the last pair relates to the central row peg. Next we just should plat right, left and central rows
We have stopped here. We stick the hook inside, move the upper rubber bands and grasp the lowest pair, remove it and put onto the peg ahead
Here we move a triangle rubber band. Then grasp the lowest rubber band from the inside, then remove it and put onto the peg which is situated frontwards
We move a triangle rubber band, grasp a pair from the inside and put it frontwards
Then we move a triangle pair again, grasp a pair from the inside and place it frontwards, we move a pair ahead one more time
The we move the last pair of the left row onto the central peg. Then we should plat the right row
We have stopped here. We move aside all the top rubber bands and grasp the lowest pair from the inside
Then we remove it from the peg and put it onto the peg ahead
Then we move a triangle rubber band, grasp the lowest pair from the inside
move it frontwards, again move aside a triangle rubber band and move the lowest pair ahead
Then we place the lowest pair frontwards again, we do it one more time
and the last one we move a pair from the first peg of the right row diagonally onto the first peg of the central row
Now we are going to plat the central row, there it will be easier to plat. We grasp a pair from where we have stopped and move it ahead
Here we don't need to move anything aside, so we just grasp a pair from the inside and move it frontwards
Here we move it ahead, then the next one goes ahead and we grasp a pair from the inside for the last time and put it frontwards
Now let's take a rubber band of some bright color, I took a red one to make a tongue
We stick the hook into the first peg of the central row and draw it out at the very bottom
Put a red rubber band on it and draw it out from above and make loop out of this rubber band passing one its part inside
another part of the same rubber band and draw it tight a bit
Now we can't draw it tight evenly, because there are many rubber bands on this peg
That's why we are going to remove all the construction from the bottom loom to draw this loop tight
We move our bottom loom aside and draw this loop we have got a bit tight. Great. This snake has such a tongue
If you want it to be doubled as a real snake's tongue, you may cut this tongue in two with scissors or a knife. Done
Now it's doubled as a real snake's tongue. We expend the tail, it came out to be a very good. Generally, we have completed the job
The snake is ready
I hope that you enjoyed this video lesson and you are going to make such snakes for the April Fools' Day and give them to your friends
