Three Leaf Clover

This Bracelet is similar to the Hibiscus Bracelet by Rainbow Loom. Instead, this clover only has three parts differing from the Hibiscus which has five. I hope you enjoy making the clover!

Gathering the Materials

You will need:
  
(1) Rainbow Loom

(3) C clips

(1) Rainbow Loom hook

Several rubber bands

Placing the Bands

Creating the cap band: You are basically making one rubber band stronger by doubling it. To do so take one rubber band, twist the band around your fingers, and place it around itself. Turn the loom around and place the band to the first peg to the left. 

Finished Placing the Bands

This is what the bands should look like after all the bands are placed, the loom is turned around, and the cap band is placed on the loom.

Looping the Bands

Using the hook or your fingers, pull the cap band back. Grab the top most band and pull it forward. 

Looping the Bands

Use the hook to grab the next top most band and loop it forward. 

Looping the Bands

From the first group of bands that are already looped, grab what would have been the bottom band to the right. 

Looping the Bands

Continue with the next column of pegs. Refer back to the previous looping steps if you need assistance. On the last column of pegs, loop forward the top most bands as shown below. 

Finishing Looping

Use your hook to grab all of the bands after you have looped the last band. Make sure all of the bands are around the hook or everything will fall off. Put all of these bands around your fingers and place a c clip around them  to secure.

Place your finished leaf on the left side of the loom closest to you. Continue looping as before. The leaf that was just placed on the loom acts as a cap band so make sure that band is pulled back! Steps 14-19 can assist with the looping process if you need help.
