For this rainbow loom project, you will need any 3 colors of the rainbow loom bands. Feel free to be creative and mix and match your colors! You will also need a hook, a loom, and a c-clip or s-clip.

Placing the Bands

Grab your loom and one of your rainbow loom band colors. I am using a light sparkly pink. Make sure that the red arrow on the rainbow loom is pointing away from you. Place the bands down the whole middle row. Then, place a another band from the last peg of the middle row to the last peg of the right row.

Take another band and place it from the first peg on the middle row to the first peg on the right row.

Take the only color that you have not used yet, I used a magnetic blue. Place a band from the second peg on the middle row to the second peg on the right row.

Continue the last two steps on the loom until the very last peg. Remember the alternate the colors you picked. This should make a zig-zag pattern on your loom.

Placing the Bands

Turn your loom around, so that the red arrow on the loom faces toward you. Then take the band color that you used for the base of the bracelet, for me, it was the light sparkly pink color. Then loop the band three times around the peg closest to you on the left row. Remember that the directions are flipped because we turn the loom the opposite way.

Looming the Bands

Grab your hook. With it, go under the cap band, and reach for the band underneath the cap band. Pull it over the peg and place it on the peg above the peg it's supposed to go on.

With your hook, go on to the next peg. In this case, it would be the first peg on the middle row. Then reach under the last band on the peg, it for me it was the pink band. Just like for the other peg, stretch the band to the peg above where it's supposed to go.

Countinue this pattern until you are on the second to last peg on the middle row.

When you reach that peg, place the band on the last peg on the left row.

On the first peg on the left side, there should be 5 bands on that peg. Reach for the 4th band with your hook, or under the cap band, the band should be your base color.

Pull the band over the peg. Stretch the band around the left side of the peg above the original peg and place it on the next peg above that.

Repeat that step again and again until you reach the second to last peg on the left row. Repeat these steps going up the loom. Make sure you don't miss a peg!!

Your loom should look like this.
***TIP- Turn your loom sideways like the second picture and there should only one band of your base color under the band of your other color. If you see two bands of your base colors under the other color, that means you missed a peg.***

Follow the same pattern to loom the middle row. But, instead of pulling the band to the left of the peg, pull it to the right. You can also apply the hint for this side, too. Remember to stop looming at the second to last peg on the middle row.
