This tutorial will guide you through creating colorful jewelry using the Out to Impress Loom Bands Kit. Whether you're making bracelets, necklaces, or rings, this step-by-step guide will help you get started with the tools and techniques you'll need for fun and creative crafting.

Step 1: Gather Your Materials

Before you start crafting, make sure you have all the necessary materials from your loom bands kit.

  • Loom board
  • Two weaving tools
  • Bag of S-clips
  • Assortment of over 1800 colorful rubber bands

Tip: Choose your favorite colors to personalize your creations!

Step 2: Set Up Your Loom Board

Prepare your loom board for weaving.

  1. Place the loom board flat on a stable surface.
  2. Identify the pins on the loom board, which will hold the rubber bands in place as you weave.

Step 3: Choose Your Bracelet Style

Decide on the type of bracelet you want to create. Here are three popular styles:

  • Single chain bracelet
  • Fishtail bracelet
  • Ladder bracelet

Tip: For beginners, the single chain is the easiest to start with.

Step 4: Make a Single Chain Bracelet

Follow these steps to create a single chain bracelet.

  1. Take one rubber band and stretch it between two adjacent pins on the loom board.
  2. Continue adding rubber bands in this manner, creating a chain by placing each band on the pins in a straight line.
  3. Once you have reached your desired length, stop adding rubber bands.

Step 5: Secure Your Bracelet

To finish your bracelet, you need to secure it using S-clips.

  1. Use your weaving tool to carefully lift the rubber bands off the pins.
  2. Gather the bands at one end of the chain and slide an S-clip through them.
  3. Secure the other end of the bracelet by looping it through the S-clip.

Step 6: Experiment with Other Styles

Once you're comfortable with the single chain bracelet, try making different styles.

  • For a fishtail bracelet:
    • Alternate between placing bands on the left and right sides of the loom.
  • For a ladder bracelet:
    • Create a zig-zag pattern with your rubber bands.

Conclusion

Now you have the basic knowledge to start creating colorful rubber band jewelry using your Out to Impress Loom Bands Kit. Experiment with different styles and colors as you gain confidence. Enjoy the creative process and share your creations with friends and family!
