Loom band sets seem to just tell you how to make a basic bracelet so below I show you how to make a fishtail bracelet.
Step 1. Take your first band and place it over two pegs (or two fingers if you don't have a board) in a figure of eight shape so that the band crosses over in the middle. |
Step 2. Add another two bands above but do not cross these over. |
Step 3. Hook up the bottom band on one side and bring it over the other bands to rest on top of them. |
Step 4. Do this on the other side as well. |
Step 5. Add a new band to the top. |
Step 6. Bring up the bottom band on each side again before adding another new band to the top. |
Step 7. Repeat steps 5 & 6 until your bracelet is the length you need. |
Step 8. Gently remove the bracelet from the prongs leaving the two bands still on the loom behind. |
Step 9. Fasten the two sides together with a clasp. |
Start a fishtail bracelet off down to step 6 as above and then you can move on to doing the inverted stitch. Pull the bottom band under the middle band and then up over the top band to the middle. |
Do this on both sides before adding a new band and repeating. Once you have done this to the length of bracelet you require finish with a normal fishtail stitch or two and add clasp. |
