[Nfb-krafters-korner] Rainbow Loom

Tue Aug 4 16:33:03 UTC 2015

I bought a rainbow loom last year to try and teach myself, but had to
return it because I wasn't having any luck with it. All the
instructions I found online were pictures or videos that had very
minimal description. I think it would be a very fun little craft to do
if someone versed in it could sit down and teach me.

"All men dream, but not equally. Those who dream by night in the dusty
recesses of their minds, wake in the day to find that it was vanity:
but the dreamers of the day are dangerous men, for they may act on
their dreams with open eyes, to make them possible." T. E. Lawrence
