Elastic Bracelets- Make Your Own Loom Tool & Fishtail Bracelet Tutorial

No Loom Needed! Tutorial to Make Your Own



Grab a hammer, a few nails and a block of wood and you are in business!
Now that you have built your very own elastic bracelet making tool, gather up your elastics and you are ready!
 
Keep repeating steps 3 through 6 and watch your bracelet grow. As it gets longer it should look something like this:
When the bracelet reaches the desired length use a clip to connect the bands on starting end and then connect the remaining elastics on the tool to the clip.
Want to make more complex bracelets? The Rainbow Loom is all the rage right now - The Green Elephant in Danvers and Ipswich, MA has been selling them like hot cakes and they have the original Rainbow Loom elastics - stop in and tell them Mom's Lifesavers says Hi!!

  1. This easy bracelet looks so complicated but it isn't - I have even seen my daughter make this one on her fingers!
