You can weave ice cream out of gum using a special machine, thereby obtaining a funny figure that can be used as a keychain or souvenir. All you need to do is prepare the right amount of Rainbow Loom and follow a specific pattern.
It is necessary
- - weaving machine;
- - hook;
- - 30 elastic bands of blue (or any other) color;
- - 8 white rubber bands;
- - 8 brown rubber bands.
Instructions
Step 1
Try to weave ice cream out of gum - a figurine that is the easiest to make. On the basis of it, in the future, you can master other crafts. The ice cream will consist of a main part, which can be absolutely any color, for example, blue, as in the cartoon "The Smurfs", as well as a thin layer of vanilla and, of course, a stick.
Position the machine so that the holes are facing forward in relation to you. Slip 2 blue rubber bands over the lower middle post and pull to the left. Then pull on 2 rubber bands, moving upward, repeating 4 times. Move 2 more columns up, but with white rubber bands. Do the same for the other two rows. Continue to weave the middle row from the elastic bands, moving up and pulling two brown colors 3 times in a row. Take one extra rubber band, wrap it 3 times around the hook and slide it over the last post with brown inserts in the middle row.
Step 2
Now you will need to weave the figure horizontally. Skip the first horizontal row, starting from you, and on the second, put on the blue rubber band so that you get a triangle. In total, perform 4 rows in this way. Finish the stage with another triangle, but this time in white. Lift its lower side up with a hook and fasten it to the post. Also slide the white elastic over the hook 2 turns and slide one at a time over the last filled out end posts.
Step 3
Expand the machine. Crochet the 2 bottom brown rubber bands in the center and transfer to the next column forward. Crochet the outermost white elastic bands at the back together with the stitching, take out the lower ones and pull them forward. The horizontal blue should also be pulled back and knit a row to the end. Pull the last two elastic bands around the edges over the center one.
Step 4
Insert the hook with the blue rubber band on it through all the loops behind the first center pillar. Tighten the stretched elastic at both ends so that a knot is formed that will hold the entire structure.
Step 5
Carefully release the first horizontal row and then all the rest. Spread out the ice cream figurine in your hands and adjust the size of the top loop, which will turn the craft into a keychain.
