Affordable loom bands review

Hello world!

Today (as you can tell by the title) I am doing a review on some bands of the loom type. 

This is a pack of 1800 bands and around 25-30 c and s-clips. If you live in canada, the lowest price you can get is $1.84. But if you live somewhere else you may see a pack as low as 0.01 cent! 

How Good Is The Pack Allison? 

Well here is a list of pros and cons.

Pros

- lots of latex free, stretchy and colourful bands

- comes with lots of clips and a hook

- comes with red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, pink, brown, black,and white 

Cons

- doesn't come with as many purple and orange as the rest

- the purple breaks a lot

There are only a couple cons but there are also only a couple pros so I'm going to leave it up to you to figure out if you want them or not. One pack has lasted me months of making loom bracelets. That is all I have to say about the bands on Amazon but just know that they were worthwhile to me. Thanks for reading!

Rings

Hello world!

Today I'm going to teach you about loom band rings. Really all you have to do is pick a type of bracelet you already know and make a really small bracelet that fits your finger.

Pro tip#6    The trick for a comfy ring is to make a flat-ish pattern. Fish tail ring are not recommended from me, but you can still do one.

To make a ring you need just a couple of instructions.

- pick a pattern that you know how to make and like.
- make it how you normally would but to fit your finger
- add you c/s clip and slip it on the finger of your choice
- you done!
 Just those 4 easy steps!

Pro tip#   To make sure your ring is extra comfy make sure your finger is dry when its on. So that means....
- take it off when you wash your hands
- completely dry your hand before placing it back on
- don't do messy things with the ring on

Here is a video:

That's how you make a ring! Thanks for watching. Leave a comment or question if you have one.

K, bye!

This project is very very fun! If you are a teacher or student, you should suggest this to your principal
about this cool idea to make the world a better place! Even if you aren't any of these you can still do this idea on your own. It's very easy and fun to do. All you have to do is make any of these items and give them out or hang them up around your neighbourhood

Tie the Tails on The Fishtail

Hello world!

I'm glad to talk to you again. Today I'm going to teach you how to do a fishtail bracelet. you are only going to need 2 pegs or 2 fingers. It doesn't matter if its a rainbow loom or a royal loom. this bracelet is a beginner bracelet.

  pro tip #4: If this is your first time I recommend you use a loom. It is a little     easier.

 pro tip #5:  If you use your fingers make sure you have enough time              because they always have to stay on your fingers.

Step by step: making a ladder bracelet.

Hello world!

Today, I'm going to show you how to make the ladder bracelet on the rainbow loom. 


If you have a royal loom, you can take out the middle piece and move the pegs up one. The ladder bracelet is an intermediate/beginner level.

Pro Tip #2 - For making loom bracelets I recommend latex-free bands because they don't feel as rubbery and stretch more than the latex bands.

Pro Tip #3 - I also recommend metal hooks because they don't bend when the bands are taut.

If you don't have these items, don't panic! Latex bands and plastic hooks still work.

How to Make a Royal Loom Into a Rainbow Loom

Step one: get your  loom                                                                   Step two: take out the middle pegs.                                                                                            

Step three: place the pegs back but slightly higher then the rest                                                                                                                          Step four: boom, you're done

My First Blog (with a little help from Blair)

Hello World!

It's me, Allison - aka Loom Blogger. I will be providing you with the best loom bands news out there - and I will also share other cool things that loom lovers like you will also enjoy.

So, yeah....

Here's my first share:

Pro Tip #1 - if you want crazy amounts of loom bands for a crazy great price, visit Amazon (here's the link) and buy a couple bags of these! When I ordered them, it said that it could take up to 14 days, but they arrived in more like 6 or 7 days. Awesome surprise when I got home from school!

These bands did not disappoint. They didn't come separated by colour, but there were lots to choose from:

1. red

2. orange

3. yellow

4. dark green

5. light green

6. four shades of blue

7. purple 

8. white

9. black

10. brown

11. pink

It also came with several packets of s-clips and c-clips. Pretty much a jackpot!

Here is a picture of my two favourite creations so far:

I hope to do this blog every week or so if I can. Next week I will show you how to make the ladder bracelet (aka the top bracelet) - it will be with a video. Ladder bracelets are intermediate/beginner bracelets. 

If you have any suggestions or requests for future blog posts, please leave me a comment!

K, bye!
