3. Setup

Before beginning your first project, ensure all components are present and familiarize yourself with the loom's structure.

3.1 Assembling the Loom

  1. Prepare the Loom: Ensure the open side of the pegs on the loom are facing away from you for standard bracelet patterns.
  2. First Band: Take one rubber band, twist it into a figure-eight, and place it across two pegs.
  3. Second Band: Place another rubber band straight across the next two pegs (no twist).
  4. Continue Placing Bands: Repeat step 3, placing bands in a straight line along the loom until you reach the desired length.
  5. Looping: Using the hook tool, reach into the first peg with three bands. Grab the bottom band, pull it over the peg, and release it.
  6. Continue Looping: Move to the next peg. Reach into the peg, grab the bottom band, pull it over, and release. Continue this process along the entire length of your bracelet.
  7. Securing the Bracelet: Once all bands are looped, carefully remove the bracelet from the loom. Attach a C-clip to the last looped band and connect it to the first figure-eight band to form a closed loop.

4.2 Using the Mini Loom

The mini loom is ideal for quick, simple designs or for creating smaller items like rings or charms.

  1. Place a rubber band twisted into a figure-eight on the two pegs of the mini loom.
  2. Place a second rubber band straight across the two pegs.
  3. Use the hook tool to pull the bottom band over the top band and off the pegs.
  4. Add another band straight across and repeat the looping process until the desired length is achieved.
  5. Secure with a C-clip.
