Hi, this is Teresa and today my daughter Alaina and I are going to show you how to make a
single chain rubber band bracelet.
We'll be using our Super Loopz Rubber band loom for this tutorial.
If you would like to get your own rubber band bracelet kit, just follow the link in the
description below this video.
Ok, let's get started!
The single chain bracelet is super easy to make.
First you'll need to pick 2 colors for your bracelet. You'll need 12 or so bands of each
color.
Make sure that the arrows on your loom are pointing away from you, or if you don't have
an arrow, make sure the open area of each peg is facing away from you.
You'll also want to make sure that the center column is offset for this project. Most of
the time your loom will already come this way, but you may need to adjust it.
Here's what it should look like
We will not be using the left side of the loom for this bracelet.
Take your first band and loop it from the bottom center peg diagonally to the first
peg on the right side.
Alaina is using yellow for our first band.
Next, loop a band, Alaina will use red, from the right side peg to the middle peg ahead
of it.
Then loop a yellow band from this middle peg, to the right side peg ahead of it.
Repeat this pattern until you reach the end of the loom.
Your loom should now look like this.
Now turn your loom around so that the arrows on your loom are pointing toward you.
If you don't have arrows on your loom, make sure that the open side of each peg is facing
toward you. Like this.
Starting with the middle peg closest to you, grab the rubber band with your hook tool and
loop it on to the peg diagonally forward and to the left.
In our case, this will be a red band.
Now hook the yellow band on the left side peg and loop it over the next forward middle
peg.
Continue alternating looping from center to left, then left to center until you reach
the end of the loom.
Your loom will look something like this when you are done with this step.
You will need to connect the two ends together to make your bracelet.
Take your hook tool and push it through the last rubber band on your loom. This will be
the peg furthest from you. In our case this is a yellow band.
Lift the yellow band off the peg, and slip the band further onto the hook toward the
middle so you can get a firm grip.
Using a side to side motion, unhook your bracelet from the loom.
Pick up a C clip and secure it to the big loop on the end of your bracelet opposite
from the hook tool.
Stick you finger into the band where your hook tool is, and pull the hook out of the
band.
Make sure you have the band on your finger securely, as your bracelet will come apart
on you if you let it go.
Now, hook the other end of the C clip onto the loop that is wrapped around your finger.
Congratulations! You've made your first single chain rubber band bracelet.
