How to Make a Flappy Bird Using a Rainbow Loom

In this project, we are going to make a Flappy Bird using the loom. The challenging part of this project is doing the looping correctly.

What You Need?

A rainbow loom
3 red rubber bands for the beak
1 black rubber band
5 white bands
30 yellow coloured rubber band
A hook

Step-by-Step Instructions

Place the rainbow loom as shown in the video.

Take 2 single yellow rubber bands; loop them from the top peg to the centre 2nd peg as shown.

3. Again, take 2 single yellow bands and loop it diagonally from the top peg to the 1st right peg. Repeat the same step again and loop 2 single yellow bands the top peg to the 1st left.

Next take 2 single yellow bands; loop them from the 1st left peg to the 2nd left peg.

Proceed by taking another yellow rubber band and put it on the 2nd left peg and stretch it to the 3rd left.

Repeat the above step similarly by putting 2 yellow bands from the 1st right peg to the 2nd right peg. Again, put another yellow band from the 2nd right peg to the 3rd right peg.

Now, take 2 single whites, and loop them from the 3rd right peg to the centre 4th peg. This will close it off, and form the top of the bird’s head.

Again, take 2 single yellow bands and close the bottom by looping the bands from the 3rd left peg to the centre 4th peg.

Next, take 2 single yellow bands and put them on the centre 2nd to the centre 3rd peg as shown in the video.

Finally, take 2 single whites and put them around the centre 3rd peg to the centre 4th peg.

Now, you have to make the wings. Take 2 single yellow bands and put them on the right and left pegs of the loom as shown in the video.

Now, you have to take a single yellow band and cap it off by looping it on the left peg 3 times as shown. Repeat the same step for the right peg as shown in the video.

Go under the cap bands (using your hook) on the right side, grab the bottom 2 yellow bands and loop it onto itself. Repeat the same for the left hand side.

Take a single yellow band and loop it up as shown in the video.

Now, hold one wing using your hook as shown. Grab it and hold the wing carefully with your fingers as shown.

Next, you have to add this wing from the 2nd left peg to the 2nd right peg. Push the wing towards the bottom as shown.

Repeat the same process with the other wing and loop it from the 2nd left to the 2nd right peg.

Now, you have to make the eyes. Take a single black coloured rubber band and loop it 3 times (to create 4 loops) on the hook as shown. Take another white band, pull the black loops from the hook and put them onto the single white band as shown.

Next, you have to loop it across from the 3rd left peg to the 3rd right peg.

Now, you have to make the beak. So, take a single red band and loop it 3 times on the hook to create four loops. Next, take a single red, twist and double, get it on the hook and pull the looped rubber bands onto the single band as shown. Take another single red band, twist and double, get it on the hook and pull the looped bands similarly onto the singly doubled red rubber band. That’s how you make the beak.

Now, you have to add the red beak to the centre 4th peg as shown in the video.

Now, you have to loop very carefully. Go under the beak, grab the top 2 single rubber bands (white) and loop it onto itself as shown. Again, go under the beak, grab the next two (this time yellow band) and loop it on the 3rd left peg. Again, go under, grab the white bands and loop it onto the 3rd right peg as shown.

Proceed by looping the yellow bands from the left side (starting from the 3rd left peg) of the loom and go all the way to the top peg as shown in the video.

Repeat the same for the right side, i.e. looping the bottom 2 yellow bands all the way to the top peg.

Next, go under the centre 3rd peg, grab the bottom 2 bands using your hook and loop it on the centre 2nd peg as shown. Carefully spread and pull the wings as shown.

Again, go under the centre 2nd peg, grab the bottom 2 bands and loop it onto the top peg as shown.

Take a single yellow band and creating a slip knot as shown in the video using your hook.

Finally, you have to take the Flappy Bird off the loom as shown. Do it very carefully.

The Flappy Bird is almost done. You can push the eyes up and pull the wings with your finger carefully.

So, that’s your Flappy Bird. Have lots of fun making one!

How to Make Rainbow Loom Strawberry 3D Charm?

In this project, we are going to learn how to make rainbow loom 3D strawberry charm. You can make a strawberry with a total of 8 rows. Here you will learn how to make a
strawberry with a total of 7 rows.

What You Need?

Several red bands.
Green bands
Pink bands to stuff your strawberry
A loom
A hook

Step-by-Step Instructions

Take a rainbow loom of any configuration.

Take a single red band, twist and double using your index and middle finger.

Put this doubled red band on one peg, cross it in the centre and loop it to another peg. (As shown in the video)

Do the same with another single red rubber band and cover the other 2 pegs as shown.

Take four single red coloured bands (don’t double this time) and simply put them on the 4 pegs as shown.

Take the hook and grab the bottom two bands, loop up and over to the middle for all the 4 pegs. Push it down using the hook as shown.

Till now we have put the bands on 4 pegs; now we will expand to 6 pegs.

Take the two red bands off the centre (using the hook), move it across another new peg (i.e. to the second left peg as shown).

Pull the red band off the centre first peg with your hook and pull it across and place it over the peg as shown in the video.

Pull off (with your hook) a single loop from the second right peg and hold it with your finger. Pull off the other loop (from the second right peg) and attach it to the third centre peg.

Now, take the loop that you were holding and attach it using the hook to the second right peg. It actually goes back to the second right peg if you observe carefully. All 6 pegs have red bands attached now.

Next, take new single red bands and place them on the 6 pegs forming a hexagon.

Now, go under the second right peg, grab and turn it up and over to the centre (as shown). Repeat this for all the 6 pegs so that each of them has 2 loops. This was for loom #3.

We have covered 6 pegs so far and now we have to cover 8 pegs.

For loom #4, pull off the red band from the centre third and move it to the centre fourth. This step is important to cover all the 8 pegs.

Now, you have to grab single bands from the second right and second left peg. So, grab one of the bands from the second left with your hook and move it across to the third left peg. Repeat the same step, i.e. grab one band from the second right peg and stretch it across to the third right peg.

Now, take new single red bands and cover all the 8 pegs. This step is similar to step # 12.

Go to the first right peg, go under and grab the bottom two bands and move it up and over to the centre. Next move the single bands (from the second and third right pegs) up and over to the centre. Repeat the same process for the rest of the pegs so that the bands are moved up and over to the centre. Push it down using your fingers. This completes the task for loom #4.

Now, you have to repeat the steps for loom #5, #6 and #7 in the same way. So, take new single red bands and cover all the 8 pegs and proceed to complete loom #7.

Now, for the leaf on the top, take new 8 green rubber bands to cover all the 8 pegs.

Now, go under and grab the bottom 2 red bands and move them up and over from all the 8 pegs. Make sure that there are 2 loops per peg.

Now, for the stem, take 4 new green bands, twist and double and put it on the pegs as shown in the video. For this step, use new pegs (not the pegs used for making the red strawberry and the leaf) for the stem. You have to do it four times to make the green stem.

Now, you have to cap it off with a single green band as shown in the video. Make sure you loop it 4 times using your fingers.

Next, go under and grab the bottom two green bands with the hook and move them over to the other pegs as shown.

Take the cap side off as shown and get it on the hook. Pull one of the two bands to one side and make a slip knot using your fingers. So, this is the stem. Put the stem aside.

Now, move to the pegs having the strawberry and the leaf. You have to take the strawberry off the loom, getting the loops off from each peg onto the hook. Perform this step clockwise. You will get your strawberry made this way.

Now, you have to stuff the strawberry to make it look like the fruit. Use pink rubber bands and stuff them inside the strawberry. Open up the centre to stuff the pink bands. Do not over stuff because the bottom of the strawberry is thinner. Make sure the top is stuffed more than the bottom to give it a tapered look below.

Next, take a single green band; put it on the hook. Now pull the other loops onto the single band. Tie a slip knot and pull. Your strawberry charm is almost ready.

Now, take the hook and put it gently through the strawberry to hide the pulled end (in step 29).

Now, it’s time to add the stem. Put the hook gently through the strawberry and take it out from the top centre. Take the stem and grab the open loops, put it on the hook and simply pull it inside the strawberry.

So, your strawberry is now complete. You can make several such strawberries using a loom. Have fun doing this project!

How to Make an Open Heart Charm Using a Loom?

What You Need?

Rainbow loom
Green, Different rubber bands
A hook
S-clip

Step-by-Step Instructions

Place the rainbow loom as shown in the video – the arrow should be facing away from you.

First take a green colour loom band and put it around the centre1st and 1st left peg as shown. This way you have to keep putting the green rubber bands all the way up on the left side till the centre peg on the other end. From the 1st centre peg on the front end, go diagonal and continue placing the green bands on the right side as well.

Now, take a blue rubber band, place it on the 2nd right peg to the centre 2nd. Taking another blue band; put it on the 1st right peg to the centre 2nd. Take another one and put it on the centre 1st to the centre 2nd peg. Again, from the centre 2nd peg to the 1st left, 2nd left and the centre 3rd peg. Push these bands down a little with your fingers. This way you have to continue doing this till the other end of your loom. You will see stars forming along the length of the rainbow loom.

Next, you have to put the cap bands. So, take a blue rubber band, twist and double, put it on the centre peg at one end of the loom as shown. Again, taking blue bands and twisting and doubling, place them on the centre pegs as shown in the video till the other end. Please note that you have to put these cap bands on the centre of each star.

Now you have to turn the loom around so that the arrow will be pointing towards you.

This step is the hardest one, i.e. looping the rubber bands. So, pay attention. Take your hook, grab the blue capping band and pull to the next centre peg as shown in the video. From the centre peg, go underneath and grab a capping band again with your hook & pull it to the 2nd right peg. This way you have to grab the cap bands and pull it to the pegs counterclockwise. This way, continue looping along the rainbow loom.

In this step, you have to loop the border of the loom. Grab a green rubber band from the centre 1st peg as shown; pull it to the 2nd peg (along the border of the loom) as shown. Push the bands down a little, go underneath, grab a green band, pull it up and attach it to the next peg on the border. Make sure a pattern of tear drop is forming.

Keep looping in this way along the border till you reach the end of the loom. Go underneath, grab a green band and pull it to the middle peg as shown. Continue looping the green bands similarly on the other side (the other edge) of the loom till you reach the end. Finally, grab a green band, pull up and attach it to the centre peg as shown in the video.

When you have completed the above step, you are going to add the extension. So, take a green rubber band, go the centre peg as shown, put the hook down through this peg, put your green band on the hook and pull the rubber band as shown in the video.

Now, take the bracelet off the loom as shown. So, here is your Starbust bracelet almost ready!

Note that the end of the bracelet has the capping bands.

Next turn the loom around so that the arrow is facing away from you.

Take 6 green rubber bands and place them on the right pegs as shown in the video. Take one end of the bracelet and loop it on the peg as shown. Next, start looping the green bands on the pegs as shown.

Take an s-clip and put it on the green band as shown. Pull off the extension carefully as shown in the video.

Attach the s-clip to the other end of the bracelet as shown.

So, this completes your advanced Starbust bracelet! Wear it on your wrist or gift it to your friends!

How to Make Star or Flower Charm without Using the Loom?

This is a very simple project and you will learn how to make a star or flower charm without using the loom. It will just take 6-7 minutes of your time.

What You Need?

16 pink colour rubber bands

A hook

Step-by-Step Instructions

Take a single pink rubber band, put it on the hook and wrap the pink band around the hook 3 times.

A rainbow loom
73 single rubber bands consisting of red, blue and white colours
A hook

Step-by-step Instructions

Place your rainbow loom as shown so that the red arrow points downwards.

Take a red band, put it on the centre 1st peg, twist it and stretch it to the 1st right peg.

Again, put a red rubber band on the 1st right peg, twist and pull it to the 2nd right peg. This way you have to continue this pattern till the 3rd last peg (on the right peg) from the other end of the loom.

From the 3rd last peg on the right, start again with a red band, twist and stretch it to the centre 2nd peg.

You have to continue the same pattern for the left side of the loom till you complete looping from the 1st left peg to the centre 1st peg in the front.

Take the next colour, i.e. white colour bands. Start putting the white bands (without twisting) from the centre 1st peg to the 1st right peg and to the 2nd right and continue doing this on the right side of the loom till the left side as well. Finally close it up from the centre 1st to the left 1st peg.

Next take your hook, go under the 1st right peg, grab the bottom 2 red bands and loop up and over the peg. Repeat the pattern for the right side of the loom. Keep looping on the left side of the loom as well as shown in the video.

Proceed by grabbing the red band on the centre 1st peg (in the front) and loop it up and over the peg. Push all the rubber bands down a little.

Now, it’s time to add the third colour, i.e. blue rubber bands. Start at the centre 1st peg and continue putting the blue bands (without twisting) on the pegs beginning from the right side of the loom to the left side.

Stop on the left on the 1st left peg.

A loom
A hook

Step-by-Step Instructions

Take your loom and place it as shown in the video.

Take a single pink rubber band & put it on the 1st and 2nd right peg and again with a pink band, put on the 1st and 2nd left peg. Continue again by putting another pink band from the 3rd to the 4th right peg. Make sure you come down 3 times using the pink bands.

Repeat the same step with a single white rubber band for the 3rd to the 4th left peg for the other side of the ice cream.

Keep repeating the same step with the white bands. Put them on the 5th and 6th left peg and 5th and 6th right peg. Make sure you come down 3 times even with the white rubber bands.

Take a coordinating colour, in this case a white band and cap off the 6th right and 6th left peg. Ensure that you loop once. Repeat this step for all the 6 pegs. Loop white with white and pink with pink.

Now take a hook, go under the 6th left peg, grab the bottom single band and loop up and onto itself as shown. Repeat for all the 6 pegs.

Now, for the top of the ice cream, you have to create the swirls with pink or red bands. In this project, let’s use red.

Go to the other part of the rainbow loom as shown and start putting the red rubber bands on the pegs creating a hexagon. Push these down a little.

Take off the pink band off the 1st and 2nd right peg and put it onto the hook. Put the side (where the cap band is) onto the centre peg (where you have made a hexagon in step 8 using the red bands) and attach it to the peg as shown.

Similarly take the next pink band off the 3rd and 4th right peg and attach to another peg (i.e. on the hexagon). This way, keep attaching to all the 6 pegs of the hexagon as shown with the pink and white loom bands. Ensure that the top of the ice cream cone have 3 pink and 3 white bands on each side of the hexagon.

Now, for the sprinkles at the centre, put the hook through the centre peg, go down, take a yellow rubber band and grab it with the hook, pull up the one end and grab the other side of the yellow band from the bottom and tie a slipknot as shown.

Repeat the above step two more times with blue and dark green rubber bands in the same way.

Now, go under each of the 6 pegs and grab the bottom 2 bands and loop up and over to the centre as shown.

Next take 6 white bands and put them on the 6 pegs creating a hexagon.

Go under the 6 pegs, grab the bottom 2 bands and loop up and over to the centre. Push it down a little.

Nowyou will see that the red bands are sticking up around the sprinkles. You simply have to pull these red bands back onto the pegs from where they came off. Keep pulling back till you have worked on all the pegs of the hexagon. Make sure that a hexagon is created.

Now you are left with the sprinkle rubber bands. Start by pulling the green band to the pegs as shown forming a triangle. Repeat the same step with the yellow and blue sprinkle rubber bands.

Next go under the 6 pegs and grab the bottom 2 bands, loop up and over to the centre. This should be done for all the pegs.

Push it down a little. So, the top of your ice cream is done.

Now for the cone or base part, take orange colour loom bands and put it around the 6 pegs creating a hexagon.

Go under the 6 pegs, grab the bottom bands and loop up and over to the centre as shown. Push it down a little. Make sure that you have 2 bands per peg after looping up and over.

Now, you have to repeat step# 20 & 21 four times using the orange bands. Next take a single orange rubber band, twist and double and put it on any 2 pegs as shown. Again, take a single orange rubber band, twist and double and put it on the pegs on the other side (across from the previous).

Proceed by going under the pegs (where you have placed the single orange bands and doubled), grab the bottom 2 bands and loop up and over to the single orange bands.

Now, grab one side of single orange bands and pull it to the 3rd peg of the hexagon as shown. From this peg, grab the band and loop it up. Repeat the same for the other single orange band that you have doubled.

Next, take a single orange band, twist and double & put on the pegs (where there is space) as shown. Repeat the same and put it across as shown in the video.

Go under the pegs, grab the bottom 2 bands and loop it right onto the single band which has been doubled.

Now, go under the pegs and pull the bands off the pegs and put them onto the hook as shown. Note you will have 8 orange loops on your hook.

Take another single orange rubber band, twist and double and put it on the hook.

Now pull all the 8 loops onto to the single band you have just doubled. Put the other end of the single band onto the hook. So, you have 4 orange loops on the hook. Pull one side through to tie it off.

Finally, take the ice cream cone from the loom.

Your ice cream cone is done. Just hide the knots by pushing them inside the cone with the hook.

If you want a cherry on the top of the cone, take 2 single red bands at the end of the loom.

Hook it from the 1st peg to the 2nd peg as shown, twist it over and twist it back. Then, tie a knot. Go under the pegs, grab the bottom bands and loop it up to the centre with the hook. Then, simply get the loops onto the hook. Take a white band, twist & double and pull red loops onto the hook and tie it off. Now, the cherry is ready. Put the hook through the centre of the top cone, grab the white slipknot band and simply pull it.

So, you have your ice cream cone with the red cherry on top!

How to Make a Beautiful Flower Charm Using the Rainbow Loom?

In this project, you will learn how to create a colourful flower charm using a rainbow
loom.

What You Need?

A rainbow loom
The hook
Three different coloured rubber bands – 7 white loom bands for the inside middle part. 6 pink bands for the middle layer and 6 red bands for the outer layer. You need another single white loom band for holding the flower charm.

Step-by-Step Instructions

Place your rainbow loom band as shown in the video, i.e. the red arrow should be pointing away from you.

Begin by taking a white rubber band and loop it on the 1st left peg (from the user’s side) to the centre 1st. This is for the inside middle layer.

Then, loop another white band from the 1st left to the 2nd left peg. This way, keep looping the white rubber bands to make a hexagon.

Now take a pink rubber band and loop it from the centre 1st to the centre 2nd. Again, take a pink band and loop it from the centre 2nd peg to the 1st left peg as shown in the video.

Again from the centre 2nd to the 2nd left peg. So, keep taking pink loom bands and loop it from the centre 2nd peg to the rest of the pegs as shown in the video.

Now, you take the last bunch of red loom bands for the outer layer. Just put these red bands on all the 6 pegs as shown in the video. Make sure it forms a hexagon.

Next take the 7th white band and double it on the middle peg using your hand.

Now take your hook, go under the middle peg as shown and grab a pink band and loop it to the peg as shown in the video. Be patient and perform this step carefully. Note that the arrow is now facing towards you.

Similarly, grab a pink band from the centre peg and keep looping to all the pegs as shown in the video.

This step is a little challenging; so pay attention. Go under the centre 3rd peg, grab a white band and loop it to the peg as shown. And, you are going to continue looping like this to complete all the 6 pegs. Take your time to do this step and please do not rush.

Next you have to tie a slipknot as shown using the hook. This is a tricky step; so do it very carefully. This slipknot is important to put one end to the other.

Now, you have to pull all the rubber bands off the pegs as shown. You are almost done with the beautiful flower charm.

Now be careful with the last step. You actually have to unlock the tie-knot. Before doing this, holdyour flower charm with a good grip using your hand as shown. Unlock the knot slowly and take one band out and the other band out as shown. Next you have to simply re-knot the white band as shown and pull it up. This step is important to make your charm like a pretty flower with coloured petals.

So, your beautiful flower charm is ready. You can use it as earrings, pendants or on your necklace as you like.

Take the loom and place it as shown in the video. Take a light green loom band for the leaf, twist and double, and loop it from the 1st right peg to 2nd right peg.

Next for the rosebud; take a pink and red rubber band, put it on the 2nd right peg, cross it over to the 3rd right and twisting it back onto the 2nd right peg.

You will have to do the same for the left side of the loom as shown. You can take two red bands or one pink and one red for the bud.

Now to tie the knot, reach under the 3rd left peg, grab the bottom band with your hook and pull it to the centre. Do the same for the 2nd left peg.

Go to the right side and tie the knot in the same way as described in step 5.

This way you have to do the same for the entire loom for making the 12 little rosebuds.

Put your finger between the 2nd and 3rd left peg (i.e. on the knot), pull the rubber band off the 3rd peg, and loop it on the 2nd left peg. Repeat the same step on the right hand side of the loom.

Next, grab the bottom green band on the 2nd left peg and loop it on the 1st left. Repeat the same step on the right side.

Now, grab the green band of the 1st left peg and put it onto your hook. Do the same for the other rosebud on the right side of the loom as shown.

Now, you have to make the bracelet with dark green rubber bands.

Take a dark green band and loop it on the first centre peg to the 1st right peg.

Now take a rosebud from the hook, grab the light green band, loop and attach it to the 1st and 2nd right peg.

Again, take a single dark green band and loop it from the 2nd right to the 3rd right peg. Proceed again by looping and attaching another rosebud to the 3rd and 4th right peg. Keep looping the rosebuds in that order for the rest of the loom on the right side. Stop looping at the 2nd last peg on the right.

Now, put a dark green rubber band on the 2nd last peg on the right to the centre as shown. Then, loop another rosebud diagonally from the centre peg to the left side of the loom (i.e. the last peg on the left side).

Proceed on the left side of the loom by looping a single dark green rubber band on the 1st and 2nd left peg.

Next loop a rosebud from the 2nd left to the 3rd left peg. This way you have to keep working on the left side of the loom till you reach the 2nd last peg (on the left).

Now, on the 2nd last peg, cap it off by twisting 2 times with a dark green rubber band.

Next, go under the 2nd last peg on the left; grab the bottom 2 rubber bands and loop it onto itself as shown.

Next continue looping till you reach the 1st left peg.

Now take the rubber band off the 1st left peg and put it on the hook.

Pull the loops off the other end of the loom on the left with your fingers.

Attach this connector bracelet to the extreme end on the left as shown.

From the extreme end, again go under; grab the bottom 2 bands and start looping as shown till you reach all the way to the 1st centre peg (on the front side) as shown.

Now take a c-clip and attach it to the end of the connector bracelet and take it off the loom and attach it to the other side of the bracelet. Make sure it’s not twisted.

So, your rosebud bracelet is ready to wear and measures approximately 7 inches. You can make a longer bracelet if you wish. Happy looming!
