We love Despicable Me, so we were excited to find a tutorial on how to make a Minion Bracelet. We think it turned out great!
The instructions for the video are straightforward. The hardest part is sourcing the eye for the Minion. We used a black button, then used white paint to create the eyeball part.
Here is the video we used by Bridget V that we used to created our cutie:
We’ve all seen the Starburst Bracelet in rainbow colours. They’re uber popular because they look great. But what other color combinations work for this type of bracelet? Here are some of our faves:
We love this unique colour combo by CutsieTootsieProps.
This pastel Starburst has beads! Adorable! By BandsbySydney.
Grey looks great with teal, green and purple centre in this bracelet by LetsBandTogether.
Loving the red and blue, framed by the black bands in this bracelet by BowdaciousCrafts . It reminds us of a granny square afghan!
We love the lime green, orange and white combination in the bracelet on the left The colors make it look vintage 1970’s! (We loved it so much we attempted the Zippy Chain bracelet in this color combo. Fail!) Bracelet by SmileStuf.
Shine bright like a diamond with this Diamond Loom Bracelet! If you are a beginner, this might take you more than one attempt. Once you get the hang of it, this pattern is one of the easiest to make.
We like using four bands of each color for this bracelet as shown above and below:
This Diamond loom bracelet uses two of each color rubber bands, as shown in the recommended instruction video below.
Here is the instruction video that we recommend for the Diamond Pattern Bracelet:
We haven’t nailed the Zippy Chain Bracelet yet, but we will!
How many attempts did it take you?
For this fancy bracelet called the Double Braid Loom Bracelet, you will need two looms.
The thing that makes this bracelet extra challenging is that the bands end up being very tight, so you have to be careful that they don’t slip off when you loop them.
If you want to learn how to make a Double Braid Loom Bracelet, use this video – but keep in mind that you will need to double up on the bands, which is something that Ally doesn’t mention until well into the tutorial.
The Liberty Twist is a great looking loom bracelet, but it does require patience. It took us two attempts to make this bracelet; our mom.. well, she’s another story. She tried twice and gave up!
Here is her first fail. Looks like a new species of insect:
And her second one, looking kind of intestinal:

The Rectangle Loom Bracelet is a striking bracelet that isn’t that difficult to make. It looks great in rainbow colors, but you could use any color combination you want.
To learn how to make a Rectangle Loom Bracelet, we recommend this video:
Our mom made these Single Rhombus bracelets. She prefers rainbow colors for this pattern.
It took her two attempts to get it right. This is the video that helped her to perfect the Single Rhombus pattern.
We learned how to make these cool, glow in the dark ghosts from Made by Mommy.
We found her instructions to be very clear and easy to follow. Once you’ve made a couple of these, they are easy peasy!
The glow in the dark bands look the best for these charms.
