[Nfb-krafters-korner] Rainbow Loom

Tue Aug 4 19:01:40 UTC 2015

Let me give it a try now that I know how to use the loom.  I will try it under sleep shades and see if I can complete a pattern.  Then I will say if I can teach it.

Terry P.and I each have one of these,and we were thinking of selling them because we can't get the hang of how to use them.
Some one tried to teach us last year,but,they weren't very good at it. Cindy Z,since you're sighted,and teach blind students,would you be able to teach us a class with these looms?
It seems like there is enough interest in it.

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
