Step 1: Stretch Out the Elastic Bands

The first step to making a rainbow rubber band bracelet is to stretch out the elastic bands. You can do this by sitting on a chair, laying down with your arms stretched out in front of you, or even just holding one end in each hand.

When stretching out the bands, make sure they are as long as possible without being too loose or too tight. The best way to do this is by using a measuring tape and measuring both ends of the band so that they are the same length. If you have a smaller wrist than me (6 inches), then I would suggest breaking up the strips into smaller pieces so that they fit around my wrist comfortably.

Step 2: Set up your Rainbow Loom kit.

Place the loom on a table. Open up the plastic bag, and place the loom in it. The first loom piece is already in there, but you can add more if you have them. Place this piece at the end of an armband that you want to make. Make sure that when you put it together, the string loops through each eye on the loom piece.

Take another piece of yarn and wrap it around your fingers twice. Tie a knot at one end of your strand to help keep it in place while working with the rest of your yarn. Keep tying knots until all the strands are wrapped around your fingers once and then tied together at their ends with a knot.

Step 3: Place the Bands Diagonally

Place the first band diagonally across the wrist, and then twist it so that the ends point toward each other. The twist should be about 1/2 inch in length. Wrap the second band around the first one diagonally also and continue to twist them together until you have about 4 twists on one side of your bracelet.

Then take the third band and place it diagonally across your wrist again. Continue to wrap bands around until you have a total of 4 bands wrapped around your wrist. When you reach this point, stop twisting any more bands together and leave them as is.

To make a rainbow loom bracelet, you’ll need some rubber bands, yarn, and a loom. The loom is a simple weaving device that uses tension to create different lengths of thread. It is a good idea to use a mini loom to do a little bit of practice so you can improve your loom skills.

Flip the Loom

Flip the loom over so that the bottom side is facing up. Take one end of your rubber band and loop it around one peg on the inside of the loom. Then take another rubber band and repeat this process by looping it around the second peg. Continue to the next peg until you have wrapped all four pegs with rubber bands.

Now flip the loom back over and use your fingers to pull all of your loops tight together so they form a ring around the middle pegs on each side of your bracelet. Use another rubber band to secure this ring in place by wrapping it around the outside of your bracelet once again. Repeat this process until you have connected all four rubber bands together into one continuous length of the rubber band.

Step 4: Tighten

Now that all your rubber bands are hanging on your board, it’s time to tighten them up. Take both ends of your bracelet and pull it until it’s at least 1/2 inch wide and as tight as you want it to be. You can measure with a ruler if you like; just make sure that any remaining loose rubber band portions aren’t too short for
