Step-by-Step Guide on How to Make Loom Bracelets

Step 1: Setting up the loom

Place the loom on a flat surface with the arrow pointing away from you. There are three rows of pegs- the rubber bands will be placed across two of these rows.

Step 2: Placing the rubber bands

Start by grabbing the first rubber band and placing it diagonally from the first peg in the middle row to the second peg in the row closest to you. Continue placing rubber bands in a zigzag pattern down the loom until you reach the desired length for your bracelet.

Step 3: Creating a capped band

Take another rubber band and twist it into a figure-eight shape. Place it onto the last peg where you placed your last diagonal band.

Step 4: Starting to loop

Now it’s time to start looping! Take your hook and push it through the capped band, making sure not to catch any other rubber bands. Grab the diagonal band beneath it and pull it up and over onto the next peg in line.

Step 5: Continuing the looping process

Continue looping all the diagonal bands in the same manner until you reach the end of your loom.

Step 6: Hooking the final bands

Now it’s time to loop the final rubber band. Hook it through the last loop, and don’t let it slip back onto the peg.

Step 7: Adding a clip to secure your bracelet

Attach a clip or clasp to the last loop on your bracelet. Carefully remove the bracelet from the loom.

Step 8: Connecting both ends & completing the bracelet

Grab the other end of your bracelet, and attach it to the other side of your clip or clasp – this will form a secure connection and complete your very own loom bracelet!
