[Nfb-krafters-korner] Jill, a question

[Annette Carr]

Terry K,

I am not Jill, but I can answer some of your questions, as my daughter and
niece are into making these type of bracelets.

The rubber bands are very small, not more than the diameter of your thumb.
They come in many colors and can be purchased in bags of all one color or
assorted.  There are even glow-in-the-dark rubber bands.  

There is a loom that can be purchased specifically for using with these
rubber bands, but you do not need it to get started.  My daughter just uses
2 of her fingers as if they were pegs on a loom to make the basic pattern.
I bet you could use 2 pegs on a knitting loom if you have one.

HTH,
Annette

Jill,

Hope you had a good vacation. Question, please, was it you a little while
back who taught a rubber band bracelet? Or someone else? I think I remember
you speaking about your kids making them, were they made on a loom, a
special loom? I keep reading about them and making them with different color
rubber bands and hooks and wanted to ask about them before going any
farther. If it was not you, sorry about confusion, would like your opinion,
was not able to take class at time it was given, need to know if this is
something I want to get in to. Thanks.

Terry K
