Hi I’m Colleen from the Lime Hood Ladies and today I would like to show you how to make the zippy chain rainbow loom bracelet. You will first need a loom, a hook, three colors of bands, and a C clip. So the first thing you want to do before you start placing the bands is to make sure that your red arrow is pointing away from you on your rainbow loom. So we’re going to start with the outer sides of the bracelet first, and we’re going to go up the one side, and then come back and go up the other side, so we’re going to start with purple, and we’re going to place bands up to the left. Okay, the last band you place on a diagonal onto the center pin at the top. Now we go up the right side the same way. And the last band you do on a diagonal onto the center pin at the top. Okay, next we’re going to take a green band, and we’re going to go forward from this pin to this pin. Now we’re going to take our…our blue bands and we’re going to go in an upside-down V, starting on the left and then doing the right pin, and we’re going to continue this pattern all the way to the end of the loom. I’ll show it to you one more time after this one, we do this one, then two, then three, that pattern, all the way to the end.

So when you get to the end, after you’ve put on your last blue upside-down V, you’re only going to put one green band from this pin to the purple pin right in front of it. Then we’re going to put a purple cap on that end pin; take your band, twist it into the 8, and place it on one finger and then stretch it over the top of the pin at the very end. Now we’re ready to hook, so we can turn the loom around and grab your hook. We’re going to start at the center band, and we’re going to hook the first purple up to the left and hold it down and bring your band to the left and you’re going to do the same thing with the purple up to the right. Bring it over to the right. Then we’re going to take the green band, get behind the purple, grab the green, and bring it up forward like that. Then we’re going to hook the purple side, so you’re going to go in, grab the purple, bring it forward. You’re going to go in on this side, grab your purple, and bring it forward. Then going to go into the green, we’re going to grab the left turquoise which is right here on the top, and bring it over to the left, and the other turquoise we grab it, and we bring that over to the right. And then your green, grab this and bring it forward. Now we’re going to…here, do the purple sides. Bring that up, go in here and get the purple, we bring this up, now we’re going to go back into the green in the middle, we’re going to grab the top turquoise, bring it over to the left, and the right, and grab that one, and bring it over to the right. And then the green is going to go up forward, and then the purples go up on the side. Okay, now we’re going to do the same thing, we’re going to go into the center, grab the left turquoise, bring it over to the left side, we’re going to go in and grab the other turquoise and bring that up to the right, then you’re going to bring your green forward, and now you do the purple sides.

Bring that purple up to the forward, and that’s the pattern you’ll continue until the end. You get to the end, you continue with the pattern, the way you’ve been doing it. And the green goes forward. So then we’ve got a purple that goes forward, the purple on this side goes forward, and we’ve got the turquoise in here, the top one we bring up to the left, the second one we bring over to the right, and the green goes forward. Now lastly, we’re going to bring those two purples over to the center pin. Bring this purple to here, and this purple over to here. Okay, and this is how the bands should look if they’re laid properly on your loom, but what we need to do now is, we’re going to take our hook and put it down in the center pin there, grab another band, hook it onto the end, pull it up through, and onto your hook. All the way up on the hook. Now we’re ready to pull the bands off the loom. Pull apart. Yeah right. And here is our zippy chain, but we need to make an extension, so we’re going to turn our loom around, add six bands, then we’re going to take this off of the hook, and we put on the last two pins of your loom, and now you’re going to turn the loom around and start hooking. Okay, you put your S hook on the end here, and just pull it off. Okay so once you pull the bracelet off of your loom, you attach the hook on the other side, and here you have your zippy chain rainbow loom bracelet.

Heidi: Hi, I’m Heidi from the Lanyard Ladies, and today I’m going to show you how to make an advance stitch called the zigzag. You’re going to need your rainbow loom, your hook, and three different color rubber bands, and your C Clip. You’re going to need to take your loom, and you’re going to need to take the back out and line up your loom, so that your bottom pins are all lined up. We’re going to be working on the left side of the loom and the right side of the loom, and alternating between colors. So we’re going to start with . . . I’m starting with my orange.

And you’re going to start with the center pin, and you’re going to go straight up. Then we’re going to take our next rubber band, we’re going to go on the center, to the left. Then, we’re going to go on the left, straight up, and then, from the left, back to the center. So we’re alternating patterns. We’re making squares here and a square here, and back and forth. Now we’re going to take our second color, and let us wrap from the center pin, and go straight up. Then we’re going to go from the center pin, to the right and from that pin up to the top, and from the right, back to the center. Then we’re going to take our third color, and we’re going to go from our center pin, straight up, center pin, to the left. This pin straight up, and your fourth pin is from the left, back to the center. And now we’re going to start with our color that we originally started with.

We’re going to go from our center pin, up, center pin, right. We’re going to have to push these down a little. Right pin to the top, and right back to the center. Continue this pattern until you get to the ends. When you reach the ends, we’re going to take our rubber bands, and we’re going to put it between our fingers.

Get a cap band on, twist it into a figure eight, and we’re going to put that cap band right on our last peg. And then, we’re going to flip our loom around, and now the arrow is facing towards us, and let’s get ready to hook. We’re going to start with the middle peg, and we’re going to go to the left. We’re going to go under your cap band. You’re going to get that rubber band. Careful not to remove your cap band, and you’re going to go to the left. Then we’re going to go straight. Go underneath, get that rubber band, and go straight across. And then, we’re going to go the left side and do the same thing. Pull those rubber bands back, and go straight. And then we’re going to go from the left, over to the right. Now, we’re going to this square. We’re going to go underneath, grab that band, and we’re going to go over to the right. Then we’re going to go from this peg, straight. Go forward. Then we’re going to go from this peg, straight up, and our fourth band from the right over to our middle. And I’ll show you that pattern one more time. We’re going to go in here. We’re going to go from our m middle peg, to the left side. Go underneath, find that band, and go to the left.

We’re going to go from the middle peg, straight up.

From the left peg, straight up. And from the left, back to the middle. And now we’re going to do this side. We’re going to go underneath, get this rubber band, and go to the right. We’re going to go back in there, and get that rubber band, and go to the top. Go underneath here, and go to the top. And then from our right, back to the middle. You’re going to follow this pattern all the way across til you get to the end. This is what it look like when you’re done. Now, we’re going to put our hook through, grab our rubber bands, and we’re going to pull it through. Hold your breath, and pull it off. Now, we’re going to take the end of our bracelet, take you C Clip, hook the end, and we’re going to make an extension. So you’re going to turn your loom around, and we’re going to put four rubber bands. Take the end of your bracelet, and on to your loom. Turn your loom around and just hook forward til you get to the end.

And now we’re going to stretch our rubber bands across. Get your C Clip, and clip it on. Pull your bracelet off. Stretch this out, so you can get your C Clip on. And, hook your C Clip on, and pull it off. And there you have your zig-zag rainbow loom bracelet.

Transcript

Hi, I’m Colleen from the Lanyard Ladies and today I’m going to show you how to make the Twisty, Wisty, Rainbow Loom bracelet. You will need your loom, your hook, I have three colors of bands, and a C-Clip. So before we get started you want to make sure that the arrow is pointing away from you on your rainbow loom. We’re going to do the outside bands first of this bracelet, so we’re going to start here and work our way up the left side.

When you get to the end you just want to put your band on the diagonal to the center pin. Now you’re going to come back to the bottom and go up the right side the same way. Okay. The next step we want to do, is to do white down the center. Just going forward. 

Okay after we put that white band on you want to put a purple cap on that pin. So you take your band, cross it over to an eight position. And then push it together and stretch it out on top of the last pin. And there’s your purple cap.

Our next step is to use the black bands, and we’re going to go forward with the black bands. The first one goes on like a triangle. The next band we put on goes over the next four pins like a diamond. Now we’re going to continue to the end with this diamond shaped black band. As you near the end the last band you put on as a triangle and not the diamond shape. 

So now we’re ready to hook. Turn your loom around. The first step we’re going to do is we’re going to go into the center, grab the white band, and bring it forward. So you have to get behind the cap, get the white band, and bring it forward. Now we’re going to go in the center and grab this left purple band, we’re going to bring that up to the left, and go in the center and grab the right purple band and bring that up to the right. 

Now we’re going to go in here into this purple we’re going to grab that black band and bring this band to the center. And do the same on the right, go into the pin grab the black band and bring it into the center. Okay. Now we’re going to go back into this pin here, get the purple and bring the purple pin up forward. And do the same on the right. 

Okay, so now we’re going to go back into the center, grab the white band and we’re going to bring that up forward. Now we’re going into the left, grab the black and bring the black center. And you’re going to do the same on the right, go into the purple get the black and bring that to the center. 

And now we bring up the side purples, forward, and this one goes forward. Now we go back into the center we get the white band and bring that up forward. We go into the left, we get our black band and bring that center. And on the right we do the same get your black band and bring that to the center. And now we go in and get your left side forward, and the right side forward, and continue this pattern all the way to the end of the loom.

So as you near the end you continue to do the same pattern, you got the white, you got the black, and you bring the black into the center. And then we bring our purple sides forward. That’s one, that’s two. Then we’re going to bring the white forward. And then our black goes to the center pin, and this black goes to the center. And then we’re going to bring the purple ones over to the center. Okay. 

And this is how your loom should look once you’re finished placing the bands. Now you take your hook, put it in the center pin, attach a band to the hook, and you pull the rubber band through and put it on the hook. Now we’re ready to pull the bracelet off the loom.

And there you have it. The Twisty Wisty.

But, first lets make an extension, you can use some white. Turn the loom back around, and get six bands. One, two, three, four, five, six. And we take our bracelet, we attach it to the last two pins, we turn this around and we start hooking the extension. We can put our S hook on the last band pull our bracelet off, we’re going to attache the hook at the other end. And here you have your Twisty Wisty. It could also be reversed to this side too.

Transcript

“Hi, I’m Colleen from the Leonard ladies and I am going to show you today how to make the tiger stripe rainbow loom bracelet. Our supplies will be your loom, your hook, and two colors of the bands. I like to use orange and black, because that’s the colors of the tiger. So the first thing we need to do before we start the stitch is actually to square off the loom, so remove the center pins and move them up one notch, so that the bottoms are squared off. Okay, the first band you want to place is in this direction, now we take another orange band up forward, on those two pins and then the third band goes over to the right on these two pins. Now we take a black band and bring them across and another black band in the same, on the opposite side. Push these bands down as we go to make room. The next orange band can go up in this direction, then we place one forward in that direction. And then our last band, of orange for now, goes in this direction. Then we take a black band and we place one here on this pin, forward and the same thing on the opposite side, black goes up forward. Take another black band and we close off these oranges here like this.

Now I am going to pick up the orange and we repeat these original steps here – from here forward, so we’re going to, place an orange in this direction, an orange up in this direction, and then another orange in this direction. Then I am going to grab a black and it goes up like this, and place another black band over here like that and there we go and close it off and make like that black square around the orange ones. Okay now you will continue with this pattern all the way to the end. When you get to the very end, you’ll have three empty pins, you just need to do something a little different. You’ll take one orange, up to the left, another orange forward, and another orange up to the right. Then you’re going to cap these oranges with one black band all the way across, like so. And now we’re ready to begin hooking.

So you want to turn the loom around and grab your hook. First step we are going to do is push the black out of your way and your going to take this orange and bring it to the center pin and push it down. Then you take the center orange – bring that forward, then push it down. Push those down, keep them on there. And then you grab the right orange, and bring it forward and push it down. The next thing we do is we go into the orange here and we are going to grab this black band on the left, which is the top band, hold the orange so it doesn’t come off because it wants to, and bring the black over to the pin on the left side. Then you’re going to do the same with this black on the right side. You go into the orange. You’re going to grab that black band, hold this down and pull the band over to the right. Okay. The next thing we want to do is take your black bands forward on the side so we’re going to dig in here, grab this one black band and bring it forward. And we do the same on the right side – dig in, grab the black band on the bottom, and bring it up forward. Now we’re going to go into the center, we’re going to grab this orange, the one on the left first. We’re going to bring it up and connect it with the other orange on that side. We’re going to do the same with the center orange, bring that forward. And then grab the last orange and bring that up to the right. Forward, let’s push that down so they don’t fall off. Okay, now what we do is we are going to take the side black ones, we are going to dig in here and grab this side black one and bring it to the center. We do the same on the right. Make sure you grab the right black one and bring it to the center.

Push it down, if you need to. Okay. So far that’s what we should have. The next thing we want to do is we’re going to go into the center here and we’re going to grab this orange band on the left and we’re going to bring it over to that side. Okay, there we go. So we bring the orange up to the left. We’re going to go in and grab this orange band and bring it forward. And then we grab the last orange band and bring it up to the right. Okay now we take the black sides, then we bring them forward, so we’re going to go in here and get this black side band and bring it forward. Then we go in this side and bring this black band forward. And then we’re going to connect the black in here to the center and this black goes in here, we grab this one and we bring it forward to the center. Push it off with our finger if we need to. Okay, now we’re going to continue with this pattern. We’re going to go in and get the orange. Okay, so we’re going to bring the orange one up to the left. We’re going to go in and get the middle orange, bring it forward, and the one on the right, we go in and get that one. Then we bring that up to the right. Now we take the black sides, then we got to move these forward. One. Bring the other one up forward on the right side. That’s two. And then we’re going to go in here and we get the black ones – bring them to the center. Then you go in here, get this black one and bring that to the center. And you will repeat this pattern all the way to the end. So this is what it should look like when you get to the end. You want to go in though however to this last pin and bring this orange to the middle pin. Go in the center pin and grab that orange and you’re going to bring that one forward. And then you’re going to the right pin and you bring this orange one forward. So now we just need to take your hook, put it through the center pin, all the way through. Attach a band to the hook and pull it up through. Put the band on your hook and pull it all the way up to the thickest part of your hook. Now we’re ready to pull the bands off of the loom. So you pull up and you…there we go. So here we have our tiger stripe, but it’s not long enough to wear, so we need to make an extension. So I’m going to make my extension with some black bands, actually going to turn my loom around and I’m going to start just adding a few. I like to do six or eight, based on your wrist size. Okay and then I’m going to take this off of the loom. I’m going to stretch this out over the last two pins. I’m going to turn the loom around and I’m going to begin hooking again, just forward.

Then when I get to the end, I’m going to put a seat clip on it. We can pull it off and attach it to the band at the other end. And here you have your tiger stripe rainbow loom bracelet.

We’re going to go from our center peg to the left, and we’re going to make a V. So we’re going to go from our center peg to our right.

And now we’re going to go from our left peg straight up, and our right peg straight up, and the middle peg straight up. Now we’re going to take our second color, and we’re going to make the same V, like we did before. The center peg to the left, center peg to the right. Push these down a little. And now we’re going to go from the left straight up, the right straight up, and the center straight up. We’ll take or next color, which is my yellow. I’m going to do the same thing. I’ll show you one more time. We’re going to go from the center to the left, from the center to the right, from the left straight up, from the right straight up, and the middle straight up. You’re going to follow this pattern till you get to the end. Now we’ve reached the top. I’m going to go, our last one is center to the left, center to the right, and we’re going to do all three, and the third one.

And we’re also going to go from our center pin to the left and our center in to the right. Now this is what it’s going to look like when you’re finished placing your rubber bands. Now we’re going to turn our loom around, and let’s start hooking. We’re going to start with our left side, and we’re going to go forward from this peg to this peg. I’m going to go to the center, and I’m going to do the same thing. Grab your blue, and go straight up. Put down your channel and pull it up. On the right side, the same thing. Go down, grab your blue, and bring it straight up. Now we’re going to go in and we’re going to take our rubber band from the left side and pull it over to the center just like that.

And then the same thing on the right side. Go down that channel and bring it up. Now we’re going to take our green from the left and bring it to the center. You’re going to go down here and bring it over to the center. And on the right side, you’re going to get your green, and you’re going to bring it over to the center. And now we’re working on our next color. We’re going to go down on the left side, grab that rubber band, and go forward. Go to the center, grab that rubber band, and go forward. And on the right side, go into that channel and go forward. And again, we’re going to go from left to the center. Grab that rubber band. Go left to the center. And then right to the center. I’m going to show you one more time, because it’s a little confusing. You’re going to go straight up on the left, straight up, down into your channel. Straight up in the center. And straight up on the right. Go on this side. You’re going to grab that rubber band and go from your left to the center. Then we’re going to go here from the right to the center.

And you’re going to continue this pattern all the way out until you reach the end. And this is what it looks like when you finish hooking. So now we’re going to take our hook, and we’re going to go all the way down this channel and to the end. We’re going to take our rubber band, hook it on, and we’re going to pull it through, and hook it onto our hook. Take a deep breath, and we pull it off. And here we have our Rainbow Splash Bracelet. We need to put an extension on it. So I like to use four rubber bands. So we turn our loom around with the arrow facing away from you. Just going straight, we’re going to do a simple-looking pattern. Take the end of your bracelet, hook it onto your loom. Take your loom, and you’re going to go forward, hooking forward. One, two, three, four. Now we’re going ot spread our rubber bands across, and we’re going to take our C-clip, and we’re going to hook it on. Pull our bracelet off. Here’s our C-clip.

Transcript

Hi, I’m Colleen from the Lanyard Ladies, and today I’m going to show you how to make the Ladybug Rainbow Loom Bracelet. You’ll need your loom, a hook, certain colors of bands, and a C-clip. We’re going to start with the first piece of the pattern. It’s the stem of the flower. The green goes right here, and then you go on to build the flower on either side of the loom.

We’re going to put a pink one down the center and close off the flower with a yellow on the diagonal and a yellow on that side. Now we repeat the same pattern. Put your green. Then we’re going to do yellow and yellow. We put a pink one, and we close the flower. One and two. Now we put one green, and now we’re going to start the ladybug. So we go one red in that direction, and then we add a red in this direction, and a red goes forward. I’m going to put a red one here. Another red here. And then we’ll go up with the red and up on this side with the red. And we close off the red like this on both sides of the loom, and now we’re going to start with the black. I put one in that direction, one in this direction, and let’s use a black here to connect the red with the center pin right here. Now we continue with the pattern of the flower on the other side of the ladybug. And the last thing we just put is one green one from this pin to this pin, and we are going to cap it right here on the end. Now we’re ready to hook. So you’ll turn the loom around, and we begin hooking. We’re going to go behind the cap, and we’re going to grab that green and bring it forward. Now we’re going to take the yellow and bring the yellow off to the left. And we’re going to go in the middle pin and grab the other yellow and bring that one up to the right. And then we grab the pink and hook that forward. Now we’re going to go in the yellow, grab the yellow, bring it to the center, and do the same on this side. Bring up the yellow and put it on the center pin. Now we’re going to reach in here, grab the green, and bring the green up forward. Now we’re going to take the yellow, bring the yellow over to the left, grab the other yellow, bring this to the right, and the pink goes up forward. Now we’re going to get this yellow. Bring the yellow into the center.

Push it down a little. Then get this yellow and bring that into the center. And now we have to loop this green forward. Grab the green, and bring that up a little bit forward. Now we have to hook the ladybug. The first thing we want to do is bring the black band forward. So we’re going to grab that band and bring this up forward and push it down. And then we’re going to grab the black one on the left and bring that up to the left, and then the black one on the right. And we bring this over to the right. And now on the left we’re going to grab this red one and bring it to the center. Do the same on the right. We’re going to grab this red one and bring it over to the center. Let’s push them down.

Now we’re going to bring the left red forward and the right red forward. I’m going to reach in here and grab this left band, and we’re going to bring the left one over. I’m going to hold this up so I can see a little bit. So we’re going to bring the left one over to the left. I’m going to get the right one and bring the right one over to the right, and then we’re going to grab that center one. Where is it? Got too many. The center one down here, I’m going to bring that up to the center. And then we’re going to take this left one and bring this to the center. And this right red one, we’re going to bring that one to the center. So that completes the hooking of the ladybug. Now we’re going to just continue hooking these two flowers the same way we hooked these. So the yellow’s going to go over to the yellow, and the right yellow we bring over to the right side. And the pink we bring forward. And now we’re going to grab this yellow and bring that forward. Push it down. And let’s dig in here and get this yellow and bring this over to here, that center pin.

And then lastly, we’re going to take the green one and bring the green up to here like this. And now we pull it off the loom. So we put our hook in, and we pull it up. OK. Now here’s the start of our ladybug bracelet. I’m just going to make an extension. Turn the loom around, and I’m going to add six bands. Then I’m going to add my ladybug on the last two like that. And I’m going to turn the loom around, and I’m going to start hooking the extension. I’m going to just bring these bands forward. Now we can put our clip on the end and pull the band off the loom, and we’ll hook it on this side. And here is your Ladybug Rainbow Loom Bracelet.

Transcript

Hi, I’m Heidi from the Land of Ladies and today i’ll be showing you how to use the Jazzy Jazz bracelet. You’re going to need your rainbow loom, your hook, a smaller hook that you can use to put beads on. We need twelve pony beads, and three different color rubber bands. We’re going to take our loom, and first we’re going to start with the border. Using the black, we’re going to go to the center peg to the left, then straight up. You’re going to go all the way straight up. Keep going from peg to peg, fill the whole left side ’til you get to the end. And then we’re going to go from our left peg to our center peg. Now you’re going to do the same thing on the other side. We’re going to go from our center peg to the right, all the way up. Keep going up until we get to the ends, and when we get to the end we’re going to go from the right peg to the center peg. Now we’re going to go up the middle, i’m going to use my white. I’m just going to push these down and go straight up the middle. Keep going up all the way up the middle ’til you get to the end. Now i’m going to push our rubber bands down… in the middle. And we’re going to take our black, go across and flip it forward. For the next two pegs, go across and flip it forward. Next two pegs, and push it forward on one. You’re going to do this until you get to the end. And you’re going to do your last two, and forward. And last one, and forward. Now you’ve placed all those bands. Now we’re going to take our blue rubber bands and we’re going to place two on each of the side pegs all the way up the left and all the way up the right. Just put two on here, and two on here. Just let them hang there, it’s fine. Two, just throw your rubber bands on there. And two at the end, and you’re going to do the same thing on the other side. Two on each. Just push them down so you have room.

And the last two. Now we’re going to turn them around, so that the arrow is facing towards you. And we’re going to start hooking. And we’re going to go into our middle peg, and bring this over here. So you’re going to go down, and you’re going to find that black one. And you have to be careful not to knock off the blue rubber bands. And you’re going to go to the side, just like that. Actually, you do not need this if you don’t want them on there. You can take the last two off. Now we’re going to go straight across. Go all the way down under those blue bands, find the black band, and you’re going to go forward. And you’re going to keep doing that. Go underneath, find the black band, go forward. Just be gentle not to remove the blue bands. Keep going all the way, follow this until you get to the end. Pull back the black one and go to the top. And when you get here, you’re going to go from the left peg to the center, pull your bands back, and go from the left to the center. And you’re going to come back and you’re going to do the same thing here. You’re going to go from your left peg out to the right one. Grab that black and go to the right. Now these are all secure, so you don’t have to worry about the blue bands falling off. You just have to be a little careful as you’re looming this. Go all the way down, grab the black, and move to the next peg. Go all the way down, grab the black, and go to the next peg. Keep looming until you get to the end. And the last peg, you’re going to go from the right to the center.

Just like that. Now we’re ready to put our beads on. You’re going to take the smaller crochet hook and your pony bead. You’re going to put your pony bead onto the smaller crochet hook and start beading up the middle. Go to your first bands on your peg, the white bands, pull it off. Take your pony bead, and slide it onto your rubber band. So now it’s on your rubber band. Now you’re going to take your rubber bands and you’re going to put it onto the next peg. Just hook your rubber bands onto the next peg. Just like that. And now your pony bead is secure on there. Now we’re going to take the next bead, put it onto your crochet hook, go in there, dig down into the next peg, pull out your white band and again, slide the pony bead onto your rubber band. And secure your rubber band to the next peg. Just like that. Now we’re going to take our next bead, i’m going to show you one more time. Put the pony bead in, dig down, get your white band up, slide your pony bead through and attach your rubber band to the next peg.

Just like that. You’re going to continue that pattern until you get to the end. Keep putting your bead on and hooking. This is what it’s going to look like when you’re finished putting all your beads and looming. Now take your hook and you’re going to put it into the last peg, go all the way down, take a rubber band, hook it on and pull your rubber band through all of these. Just like that. And hook it on to your hook. And we take a deep breath and we pull it off. Now you’re going to straighten this out a little bit. You’re going to pull these rubber bands on the sides here so that they stick out. They’re all attached so you’re just going to have to pull them to sort of fatten it out. You’re going to do the same thing on the other side. Now we’re going to make our extension. Turn your loom around, put four rubber bands, one on top of the other just like you’re making a single.

We’re going to attach the end of your bracelet to your loom, turn this around so that the arrows are facing you. And we’re going to start hooking. One, two, three, and your last one. And now we’re going to stretch this out. Get our seat clip, hook your seat clip on, pull your bracelet off and we’re going to attach it to the other end. Pull this tight, and attach your seat clip. I’m gonna move this. And you can just play with the rubber bands a bit and straighten them out. And there you have a Jazzy Jazz new rainbow loom bracelet!

Transcript

Hi, I’m Colleen from The Land of Ladies, and today I’m going to show you how to make the double cross fishtail rainbow loom bracelet. You’ll need a loom, a hook, two colors, or you can do it multi-color, the choice is yours, and an s-hook or a c clip. So, let’s get started. First thing we need to do before we start laying our bends is to remove the center pin and square off the loom. So you’re going to raise it up one notch and make sure that the arrow is facing away from you. So, we have the square bottom here. We’re going to start with the white and we’re going to make the figure eight with the white and put it on a diagonal from the center pin to the corner pin, and we’re going to do the same with the black.

Make the eight on the diagonal to those two pins and you’re going to push it down. Next, we’re going to take a white, and just on top of the white, just put the bend across the two pins. Do the same with the black. Across the two pins. Black on top of black, and keep the white on top of the white. We’re going to do this one more time. A white band on top of the white and a black band over the black. Now we’re going to grab our hook and we’re going to hook the bottom band over the pin to the center for all four pins. The white one we bring up and forward. The black on the bottom we bring up and over and we’re going to reach in and get this white one on the bottom and bring that one up and over and we can push it down. And we’re going to do this again. White over the white. and the black over the black. And now we just bring up the bottom band up into the center.

Over the pin and bring it into the center, both for the black and the white. Do it again. And you bring the bottom one up. This is the last time I’ll show you the pattern, and then, you’re on your own. You will do this until the bracelet is long enough that you need it for, based on your wrist size. So, once you get the bracelet long enough to your desired length, we’ll finish it off. So we’re going to take the bottom band of the white, right now there’s only two, and you’re going to bring that one forward and you’re going to do the same thing on this side and bring up the band on the black side and the same thing on this side. So now we only have one band left on each. So we’ll bring the white over and hook it onto the white pin and we’re going to bring the black one over to the black pin. Now we’re going to take it off the loom and put it on the hook. One side and two sides. And now we’re just going to slide it off onto a band. Let’s get this black one over there too. And I’m going to put my c clip on this side. Pull it tight. We can attach it over to this end.

And there you have the double cross fishtail rainbow loom bracelet.

Transcript

Hi, I’m Heidi from The Lanyard Ladies and today I’ll be showing you how to make the Cobra Rainbow Loom Bracelet. You could do this either with two colors or three colors, but I’m going to use three today. You’re going to need your Rainbow Loom, your hook, and a C-clip. 

We’re going to make sure that our loom is facing with our arrows facing away from us. Then pick an outside color. I’m going to choose white. I’m going to start by going from our center peg to the left. And then we’re going to make our rubber bands go all the way up, until we get to the end on the left side. This peg to this peg. This peg to this peg. This peg to this peg. This peg to this peg. When you get to the end, instead of going from this peg to the end, we’re going to go from this peg to the center. 

We’re going to come back down, we’re going to do the same thing on the other side. We’re going to go from the center to the right, and then all the way straight across. Keep following this until you get to the end of your loom. Now we’re going to have our last rubber band. We’re going to go from the right to the center. Now we’re going to come back down the middle and we’re going to put rubber bands all the way up the center of our loom. And keep going, pin to pin. And all the way until we get to the top. Now we’re going to push all our rubber bands down, so we have more room. 

Now we’re going to do a zig-zag pattern all the way across to the end. We’re going to take the next color, which I’m going to use red. We’re going to go from the center to the right. From this peg to the center. From the center to the left. From the left to the center. And we’re going to do a zig-zag pattern all the way until we get to the top. Center to the left. Left to the center. Now we’re getting to the end, we’re going to go from the center to the left, and the left to the center. Now we’re going to come right back down. 

We’re going to take our third color and we’re going to start from the center to the right this time. And we’re going to go this way now. And from the right to the center. And the center to the right. And the right to the center. And just continue this pattern — center to the right — until we get to the end. Just like that. So now, we’re going to go from our center peg to the right, and from the right to the center. Then we’re going to take our rubber band and we’re going to put a cap on there. Take your rubber band, make a figure-eight. Wrap it around and put your cap band on.

Now we’re going to turn our loom around and we’re going to start hooking. This is what it would look like when you’re ready to hook. We’re going to go into our center peg and we’re going to reach down. We’re going to get our bottom white and we’re going to bring it over to the left. So we’re going to go in there, dig down, find that band and bring it over to the left. And we’re going to do the same thing with the white band here. Find your band all the way down there and bring it over to the right. Hook down and bring it to the right. Now we’re going to take our middle peg and we’re going to go straight up the middle. Go down, find that white and bring it forward. And you’re going to continue this pattern. Go dig down into the middle and bring it forward. Dig all the way down to the bottom — get that white from the bottom — pull it forward. You’re going to continue this all the way, until you get to the end. Make those teardrop shapes all the way until you get to the end. 

Now we’re going to come all the way back down and let’s start on our left side. You’re going to dig all the way down — in here — your first peg. Get that white and go straight across. Dig down — get that white rubber band — and pull it up to the next peg. Dig down again — get that white rubber band — pull it to the next peg. You’re going to keep following this all the way until you get to the top. Now when we get here, we’re going to go from this peg to our center peg. Dig all the way down — get that white band — pull it to the center peg. Come back down here and we’re going to do the same thing again.

Dig all the way down. Push all those rubber bands out of the way, get that bottom band and go forward. Pull these away, get that bottom band and go forward. Grab that and go forward. You’re doing the whole border. Go all the way down, grab that bottom band and go forward. And keep going straight up until you get to the end. Now we’re going to take our bottom white and go diagonally across.

This is what it’s going to look like when you’re finished hooking. Now we’re going to get our C-clip ready and we are going to grab a rubber band. I’m going to dig down into that channel, put the rubber band on, pull our rubber band through, hook it on — hold your breath and say please work — and pull your rubber bands off. 

And with this bracelet, you’re going to have to pull it apart a little bit. We’re going to turn our loom around. Take the ends of this. We’re going to extend our bracelet, so we’re going to put four rubber bands onto your loom. We’re going to take the end of our bracelet and hook it right onto those rubber bands that you just placed on your loom. Turn the loom around, dig down into the channel and hook forward to make your teardrop shape. And dig down, and hook forward. And dig down, and hook forward. And dig down, and hook forward. Stretch your rubber bands out to the side peg. Take your C-clip and we’re going to hook it right onto your rubber bands and pull your bracelet off. Go to your hook and stretch this out. Take your C-clip and hook it on. And there you have, your Cobra Rainbow Loom Bracelet.

Hi, I’m Heidi from the Lanyard Ladies and today I’ll be showing you how to make the caterpillar rainbow loop bracelet. You will need your loom, your hook, a C-clip and we will be using three colors. So let’s get started. We’re going to start with our first color. I’m doing a red, white and blue bracelet. So you’re going to go from your center peg to your right. Take your next color, we’re going to go from the center, up to the center, then we’re going to do the same thing on the right side with the right peg, straight up with the next color. And then we’re going to take our red, and go across. Only working with this side of the loom. Then we’re going to go straight up again, with our next color, in the center, to the center. Our blue, right side up. The red, from the middle to the right. I’ll show you two more times and then you can finish this all the way to the top. White to the white. Blue to the blue on the right. And your red is going to go diagonally across. And we’re doing to keep doing the same pattern until we get to the end. This is what your loom should look like when you’re done. Make sure when you are putting your rubber bands on that your arrow is always facing away from you.

So now let’s turn our loom around and start hooking. We’re going to start with our left side. We’re going to put our left rubber band; we’re going to dig down and get that blue and we’re going to go straight up. So we go underneath, get that blue and go straight up. Right on top. We’re going to go to the middle pin, go down, get that white and go straight up. Now we’re going to dig for the red, we’re going to go down and get our red rubber band and we’re going to go across diagonally. Find that red rubber band and we’re going to go across. And I’ll show you again how we’re going to do this. We’re going to take our left, the blue one, and go straight up. Go down that channel, get the blue, straight up. Go down, find that white, and straight up. Then we’re going to go diagonally from the left to the right, find the red and go diagonally across. Let me show you again. We’re going to go down in here, we’re going to go straight up. Find the middle pin, straight up. And then we’re going to go take our red, and go diagonally across. We’re going to finish this pattern until you get to the end. And this is what your loom will look like when you finish placing all your rubber bands.

So now, let’s get ready to take our bracelet off. We’re going to get our rubber bands, and we take our hook and going to go all the way down into the channel. And then we’ll get our rubber bands and we’re going to pull it through. Hook it back on. Hold it there. And now we’re going to take our bracelet off. Check out our cool caterpillar. And that is what the caterpillar looks like. And now, of course, we need to add our extension. So we’re going to turn our loom around with the arrows facing away from us and put four rubber bands on. We’re going to take our bracelet and we’re going to hook it right on to our loom and we’re going to start hooking. We’re going to dig down to there, and just go all the way across until we get to the end.

And now we’re going to stretch this out to the next peg so we can get our C-clip ready to put on. Now we’re going to grab our C-clip and we’re going to hook it right on here and pull our bracelet off, from our hook. Going to make this nice and tight. Take your C-clip and hook it right on.

Hi I’m Coleen from the Looming Ladies, and today I’m going to show you how to make the Butterfly Blossom Rainbow Loom Bracelet. You will first need your loom, your hook, three colors of bands and an S hook, or C clip. This is a sample of what the Butterfly Blossom looks like.Before you begin you want to make sure that the arrow is facing away from you.So we’re starting with the blue, and we’re going to make a Blue Diamond, in this pattern. And we’re going to repeat the same with our next color, yellow. And then we’re going to do another blue one, and you will continue this pattern, all the way to the end of the Loom. So this is what the Loom will look like after you finish placing the diamonds all the way up to the end.

Now you’re going to take the white and you’re going to make the number eight and place it over each of these side pins all the way up the side of the Loom. Okay, so now before we start hooking, we want to place a cap on that center pen, twist the band into the eight and put it on one finger and stretch it over that pin. Okay. Now we’re ready to start hooking, so we’ll turn our Loom around and grab your hook. We’re going to start with the yellow, you’re going to go into the center pin, behind the yellow cap and you’re going to grab the left yellow, and bring this up to the left.

And then we’re going to hook this yellow up to the right. And now we take this yellow and we bring it forward. So we’re going into this pin and you’re grabbing the bottom one, and you’re hooking the yellow forward. Now we’re going in this left pin, and we’re hooking the yellow to the center. And we’re going behind the white and grabbing this yellow and bringing it over to the center. And now we’re going to go into this pin and we’re going to grab the left blue, bring this up and over to the left pin. Going into the center pin and grabbing the right blue, and bring that one up to the right. Now we’re going into here and bringing this left blue up, and we’re going in here oops let’s get behind the white, and bringing this forward. This blue we’re going to bring to the center. And then this blue we bring into the center.

And you will continue the same pattern the rest of the yellow and blue diamonds all the way to the top. Okay so we’re at the last diamond at the top here that we’re going to finish hooking, going to the left, and take this one over to the right. We got to get this blue one. And reach in here and get this blue one, and bring this blue one over to here and bring this blue one over to here.

And this is what it looks like when you have placed all of your bands on the loom. And we’re going to take your hook, put it in the pin at the top, grab another band, hook it on the hook and pull the hook through. Put the other side on the band on the hook. And now we’re going to pull the bracelet off the loom. Okay. And here we have the Butterfly Blossom Bracelet, but first we should make an extension. I’m going to turn the loom back around and I’m going to put six bands on here in order to extend the bracelet. And then I’ll put this on the last two pins, turn the loom around and hook the extension. Take my hook, put it on the last band and remove from the Loom. And then I’m just going to hook it on the side. And here we have the Butterfly Blossom Bracelet.

Hi, I’m Colleen from the Lanyard Ladies, and today I’m going to show you how to make the braid rainbow loom bracelet. To make the braid, you have to attach together. We’re going to take out the right most row of pins from the two looms and attach them with one of these little blue attachers. And you’ll need three colors of bands, a C-clip and your hook.

Before we start laying the bands, you want to make sure the arrows are pointing away from you on both of the looms.

Then we’re going to grab our first band. And we’re going to start with red, and we’re going to attach it from the first pin to the second one on the left side.

Then we’re going to grab a blue, and we’re going to attach from this pin to this pin.

The next band is a red one. And we go from here to here.

The fourth band is yellow and we go from there to there.

Then we grab a red one and it goes from here to here, and the last band goes from here to here.

Now, this is the same pattern throughout the bracelet. So I’m going to show it to you two more times.

So we’re going to take our red and connect it from here to here.
Then we need a blue. From here to here.
Then we grab a red.
The fourth one is a yellow.
Then we need a red.
And then a blue one.
From there to there.
Okay, that’s the second pattern. We’ll do it one more time.
From here to here.
One.
Take a blue one. From here to here.
We’ll do red.
There to there.
Yellow.
And red.
And blue.
Okay, so you want to continue with this pattern all the way to the end.
So this is what your loom should look like after your done placing the bands for the braid bracelet.
Now we’re ready to hook so we have to carefully turn this around. And begin our hooking.
Grab your hook. The first thing we want to do is we’re going to hook the blue over to the blue.
Then I’m going to grab this red, and I’m going to hook it to the red. And I’m actually going to hook this red to this one as well.
Mm K.

Now I’m going to do yellow. Go in behind the red, grab the yellow. I’m going to bring it up.
Now we’re going to just keep rotating back and forth; hooking the colors as we go.

So we’re going to take red, and bring it up to the red.
Grab your blue, and bring it up to the blue.
Red again up to red.
Blue over to blue.
Red to red.

So we’re going to continue doing this all the way to the top.
So when you get to the end, you continue hooking as you were doing here, and we hook the last red to the red.
Then we need to take the end pins. Take your red and move them onto the blue pin.

Take these other set of reds and move them also onto the blue pin.
Mm K now what I want to do is take my hook and push it through the last pin.

Grab an extra band. Put it on your hook and pull this band up and through.

And, we’re going to push this up on your hook. And now we’re ready to pull the bands off the loom.
Okay, I can put my S-hook at this end.
We’re going to attach it on this side.

And here you have your rainbow loom braid bracelet.

Heidi: Hi! I’m Heidi from the Lanyard Ladies. Today, I will be showing you how to make a bead ladder bracelet. The supplies you will be needing today will be: your rainbow loom, your hook, three different colors of rubber bands, your c-cpip and 10 pony beads. You will also need a smaller crochet hook so you can put your beads onto your rubber bands. We are going to start from our middle peg and we are going to go left, just like that. And we are going to continue hooking our rubber bands all the way up, til we get to the top. Just like so. Just keep hooking… till you get to the top. Now when we get to the end, we are going to go from this peg to our center peg. Now we are going to come right back down to the center and do the same thing to the right side. We are going to go left to right and all the way across. So I will show you a few times and then we will fast forward to the end. Just keep going all the way up… and now we are going to go from our right peg to the center peg. And now we are going to add our beads.

So you are going to have 10 pony beads aside, we are going to take one of our rubber bands, you are going to need a smaller crochet hook to do this. You are going to take your bead and put it onto your crochet hook. Take your rubber band and you are going to slide your bead on to your rubber band. Just like that. And when you have that done we are going to go across from our left to our right. Stretch out your rubber band with your bead on it and you are going to put it right from your left to your right, right across. Then you are going to take your next color, its good to have them pre-set up. So it saves you time. And you are going to go right across, left to right. And you are going to continue this pattern, till we get to the end. After we finish putting all of our beads on, we have to remember to put a cap band at the end. You are going to take your band, make a figure eight, wrap it around your fingers, and we are going to put the band right at the end. And this is what it will look like, when your done placing your rubber bands.

Now we are going to turn our loom around so that our arrow is facing down And lets start hooking. We are going to start with our center peg. And we are going to take our first rubber band, and go to the left. So you pull your cap band back, grab that rubber band, and we are going to hook it to the left side. Making our tear drop shape. Now we are going to hook our rubber band from the center to the right. Pull your cap band back, and hook it to the right. Now we are going to go into our first peg on the left, and we are going to hook all the way straight up until we get to the end. So we are going to pull back our rubber bands. We are going to grab that, white one, bottom one, and going to pull forward. And we are going to pull back again, and we are going to pull forward making our tear drop shapes. So now you are going to follow this along until you get to the end. Keep hooking. Go in, the white. And keep hooking. And when we get to the end, and we are going to take our last rubber band and go from the left peg to the center. Dig down.

Go from the left peg to the center. Now we are going to go right back down and we are going to start on the right side. Do the same thing we did on the left side to the right side. Dig down into that peg, up and around, right in front. Making your tear drop shapes. Just keep going, all the way across, till we get to the end. Now we are getting to the end, don’t forget when we get here, we are going to go from the right peg to the center. Dig down, and go across. And this is what it will look like when you have finished hooking your rubber bands. Now, we are going to do the scary part. Taking off the bracelet. Dig down into your peg, all the way at the end. Take a rubber band, we are going to hook it and we are pull through. And hook it on to the larger part of your hook. 1, 2, 3, take a deep breath, and pull it off. And there we have it. Our bead ladder bracelet. And now lets put an extension on.

Turn your loom around where your arrows are facing away from you. We are going to put 4 rubber bands straight across. 1, 2, if you need it a little longer, you can put 6 but 4 is usually good for me. Now we are going to turn our loom. Take the end of your bracelet, and hook it right on there. Take our hook, and you are going to go forward, regular stitching. 1, 2, 3, 4. Now we are going to get our c-clip. Stretch this to your drop out one to the right so it is nice and tight, easy to put your c-clip. Take your c-clip, and hook that on. And now pull, the bracelet off. Go to the other end, make this nice and tight. Take your c-clip and hook it on. And pull your bracelet off. And there you have it.
