Goodbye Silly Bandz, Hello Rainbow Loom!

Apparently Rainbow Loom has been around for some time under the name Twistz Bandz, but have only recently exploded in popularity. Children of all ages, yes even some 20-somethings, have fallen under the spell of the Rainbow Loom. When I recently purchased my loom I tried to follow the patterns that were included in the booklet, but had a hard time understanding which rubber band went on what hook. So I went over to Youtube and boy was I surprised at the number of videos, not to mention the number of views each video had.

With the help of Youtube and some pretty crafty tweens, I have been able to create these bracelets. I thought about creating tutorials as well, especially for the dragon scale (there's like 3 videos out there), but at least for now I think I will just feature the ones that I believe are the best.

Check out Kristie's video for a loose dragon scale bracelet:

Learning Express has a lot of good videos, here's one for the rainbow ladder:

Stay tuned for more Rainbow Loom posts and videos. Let me know in the comments your favorite bracelet patterns, tutorials, places to buy looms, etc.
