Grab a rubber band and place it on the middle peg. Now, drag it to the left side. Grab another rubber band and place it straight-forward on the middle row. Grab a rubber band and put it diagonally to the right side. Grab two rubber bands and make a little diamond. Grab another rubber band. Then, drag it straight-forward. Do the same to the other side. Grab one rubber band and place it on the middle row. Continue this cycle until you reach the top of the loom. After you're done, place a white or black triangle at the top using the last three pegs.

Grab the top diagonal band on the center pin. Loop it to the left pin. Grab the remaining band on the center pin. Loop it to the right pin. Grab the band on the center pin. Loop it straight up to the next pin. Continue picking up and looping the bands until you've looped the last straight up band. After you're done with those, grab the band on the left pin. Loop it straight up to the next pin. Grab the band on the right pin. Loop it straight up to the next pin. Continue to do this until you have looped the last bands. Pick up and place the last two diagonal bands to the center pin. Now, loop the border. Pick up the band on the first row. Loop it over the first diagonal band you looped. Do the same to the one over to the right. Pick up the next band. Loop it straight-forward. Do the same to the other side. Continue to do this until you reach the top of the loom.

Grab a new rubber band and set it aside. Push your hook through the diagonal bands. Put the new rubber band on the hook and push the hook back through making sure the rubber band has been pulled through. Slide a C-clip on the new rubber band and gently pull the bracelet off.
