Check that your band creates a diagonal line pointing to the upper-right.
Press the band down after connecting the 2 pins.
Check that you have 2 parallel red bands pointing to the right.
Press the yellow band down after you’re done.
Check that all of the bands are pressed down and untwisted.
Press down any rubber bands that aren’t firmly wrapped around the pins.
Notice how the yellow band forms a teardrop shape. Always hold the hook with the open side facing away from you and use the flat part to pull the bands back as you loop them.
Tilt the hook forward and lift it up after wrapping the red band to release it.
Be sure that all of the yellow loops are on the left and all of the red loops are on the right.
Repeat this process for as many bracelets as you want!
If you’re using your right hand, your fingers should be pointing left. If you’re using your left hand, they should be pointing right. Use whatever rubber band colors you like, but be sure to keep track of them throughout the weaving process!
After turning the band, you should have an 8-shaped band with each loop of the 8 attached to your ring and middle fingers.
Check that your 2 purple bands are closest to the tips of your fingers and the orange is closest to your hand.
Check that you have 1 orange band wrapped around 2 purple bands.
Don’t twist this elastic into an 8-shaped pattern.
Check that you have 2 looped bands between your ring and middle fingers—1 orange and 1 purple.
Periodically pull your bands down your fingers and closer to your hand as your progress.
You can also bend a paperclip around the free ends to connect them or tie each end together with a small piece of string.
