Hold the loom so the spikes are like sad faces.

Put one band across the top 2 in the middle. Then underneath put 2 bands and another 2 on the ones underneath that (look at the pictures sorry im a bit rubbish at explaining)

Wings

Put 2 bands across diagonally on top of each other. Do this on the other side and also on the hook below do both sides.

Cap Band

Get your hook and put it under all the bands on the last hook of the loom until you pick up the 2 bands from the body. Pull them over and put them on the same hook as the other end of those bands.

Also do this with the 2 above

Antenaes

Do the same as step 5 for the top one, but then pull one end through the other (pic2).

Get another band and pull it through with your hook and pull one end through the other again.

Make sure you pull them tight because this is the part that holds it together.

Done :)

You can take it off the loom now. I hope you understood this i feel like i overused the words 'hook' and 'pull' sorry :/

Also i dont really know how to stop there antenaes from going curly my friend made this she taught me how so maybe someone whos a pro at this could improve it?

Anyway thanks for reading it :)
