Not sure how to prolong your summer mood? Add an element of childlike spontaneity to your wardrobe using a voluminous bracelet made of colored elastic bands. Everything you need for weaving: a Rainbow loom, colored rubber bands and a desire to create.
The iridescent pattern of the Hexa fish bracelet is similar to the scales of a snake. To protect the drawing, you need to choose at least three primary colors and alternate them through two elastic bands. Winning color combinations: white - pink - light green and white - black - blue.
Position the machine so that the grooves on the posts are facing you. The number of rows horizontally: 2, vertically - any.
Take 6 black rubber bands for the base of the bracelet. Slip the first elastic over the first right and left stitches, twisting it with a figure eight. The second twisted elastic band for 1 and 2 columns along the left row, the third elastic for 1 and 2 columns along the right row.
The fourth elastic band for 2 and 3 columns on the left row, the fifth for the same columns of the right row. Put the sixth elastic on the third columns on the right and left. Seen from above, you should get a 2 * 3 rectangle made of black rubber bands.
Choose which color the bracelet will start with, and put two elastic bands of the same color over the resulting rectangle.
Pick up the black rubber bands from each post and move them to the center. Take an elastic band of the second conceived color and put it on 6 work posts. Center the bottom elastic from each post. Repeat the steps, alternating colors through 2 rubber bands. Cast on the required number of rows. While weaving, check the length of the bracelet with the intended one.
Finally, notice the 2 rubber bands of the same color on each post. Peel off the bottom elastic as usual and slide to the center. There will be 1 elastic band in 6 working columns. From the 3rd right, transfer the elastic to the 2nd right column, from 1 right to 1 left, from 2 left to 3 left. It turned out 3 working columns.
Move the bottom elastic to the center. From the 2 right column and from the 1 left column, move the elastic bands to the 3 left column. Hook the elastic bands off the post with one edge of the clasp and remove the bracelet from the machine. One end of the bracelet is ready.
At the other end, you need to get rid of the black rubber bands as a base. Note that the black elastic bands are twisted into a knot of elastic bands of the first primary color. Crochet the knots and put the elastic bands on 6 working posts so that the base of the bracelet is in the center of the working area - a rectangle.
Use scissors to carefully cut off the black elastic bands. On each of the 6 columns, there will be 2 elastic bands of the first main color. Move the bottom elastic to the center. Follow the final steps: from the 3 right, transfer the elastic to the 2 right column, from 1 right to 1 left, from 2 left to 3 left. Again, fold the bottom elastic to the center, and transfer the rest to any post. Hook up a layer of elastic bands with the other side of the clasp and remove the finished bracelet from the machine.
