Lets Get Set Up

Looming the Bands
Turn the loom where the arrow is facing away from you. If you are using the loom I am using look at the last picture please.
Skip one band but only this once . Take the band under the first and bring it forward to the next peg.
Take the band under the top band (s) and bring it forward to the next peg. Continue this pattern until you reach the end of the loom.

Time to Tie Things Up
Take one band and slip it through the group of bands you just finished.
Slip one end of the band you just entered through the other end and pull the end of the band you just used.
Slip one end of the band you just entered through the other end and pull the end of the band you just used.
Time to Remove the Bands From the Loom.
Please take your time on this step.
Pull from the part that you just finished using and slowly start pulling the bands off the loom.
I am not going to tell you exactly how to do this because that is something I cannot explain. Plus you may have a better way to do this step than I do.
P.S. if the bands completely come off during this step and the bracelet doesn't stay together whatsoever... don't worry just redo all of the steps you just did ( I had to redo it about 2-3 time just while doing this step.) it is something that will happen and you don't need to worry a lot about.
