[Nfb-krafters-korner] Rainbow Loom

[Powers, Terry (NIH/NCI) [E]]

You can buy a bag of rubber bands of mixed colors or individual  bags of a single color.  Knowing your colors, you can create patterns.

Are the rubber bands different colors? Are there patterns with words? This sounds fun!

A rainbow loom has small pegs on it and you use rubber bands to create different bracelets, animals, holiday items etc.  These can be hooked on key chains.

So about rainbow looms.  I am sighted and at first hated them.  The tool that came with my kit I was never able to get ahold of the rubber band. 
Similair to using a loom to knit, you place one rubber band on the loom peg and it over laps with another rubber band.  You lift the lower rubber band over the top rubberband.

I have made ballet tutu's, Christmas Ornaments, Pumpkins, boots, bracelets etc.  Now that I have the hang of it, I enjoy using the Rainbow loom.  In the beginning it was very frustrating and I even tried it under sleep shades so I could teach this new craft to my students.  I could never get the right rubber band or they would get tangled up.  Finally I watched a video on Youtube.  They were using a different style tool and so I tried using my Knifty Knitter tool and I was able to do it much faster and more accurate. 
I even started to enjoy it.

Anyone use these yet?

I ordered a kit and want to try it out.

Someone at the Braille showed me what they look like I might have opened a 
can of worms here.
