How to Make an Owl

By LoomLove on January 13, 2014

If you use the right colours this Rainbow Loom owl looks amazing! We did not use the right colours!:) We should have used white bands instead of silver, and grey instead of maroon.

This is what it should look like: (Owl pictured is by Erin Wright.)

To tell you the truth, this is one of the most difficult RL projects we have ever attempted. That is, aside from the Rainbow Loom iPhone case.

The video tutorial for this owl started out great, but it went downhill as it progressed and became very, very difficult to follow. We do not recommend this tutorial unless you are extremely skilled at RL!

We hope that RainbowLoomCreation makes a new and improved video, because it is such a neat project!

How to Make an Octopus

By LoomLove on January 12, 2014

We were just playing around one day with our Rainbow Loom when Mr. Octopus showed up! We loved him so much that we decided to make a Mrs. Octopus.

This is a time-consuming project – and it’s not recommended for beginners. If you have a few charms and action figures under your belt and you know how to make a slip knot, then you’re ready for the challenge.

Two looms are required to make this project.

Rainbow Loom Cat

By LoomLove on January 11, 2014

This is Chloe. Can you spot her in our stop motion Rainbow Loom video? Chloe is a 15 year-old mouser extraordinaire! Her nickname is motor mouth because her purr in the middle of the night is loud enough to awaken the dead.

She loves butter, ice cream, chicken, and, of course, fish. She wishes that RL Fishtails were edible.

How to Make the Illusion Bracelet

By LoomLove on January 10, 2014

The Illusion Rainbow Loom bracelet is a twist on another one of our Aunt Susan’s designs (we’ll be posting her original design soon!)

We call it the Illusion bracelet because the bands in the centre (we used our glitter bands) look like beads. You can purchase the glitter bands here.

If you can make a Fishtail bracelet, you won’t have any trouble with this design. In fact, we think it’s a perfect bracelet for beginners!

How to Make the Pom Pom Bracelet

By LoomLove on January 8, 2014

Excuse us for our current obsession with polka dot bands! We just had to use them in our Aunt Susan’s Pom Pom Rainbow Loom Bracelet design.

This design is quirky, fun and easy peasy! If you have mastered the Single, you can do this!

Rainbow Loom iPhone Case

By LoomLove on January 7, 2014

We love the idea of making a Rainbow Loom iPhone case, so we hunted down a tutorial by CraftLife.

Unfortunately, we found the tutorial very difficult to follow. The first time we attempted the case it fell apart when we took it off the loom.

We put several more hours into our second attempt, and thankfully our aunt came to the rescue and figured out how to finish it without having it fall apart.

We have since learned that CraftLife has created a revised video for making the iPhone case. We look forward to trying it out, hoping that it is easier to follow.
