If you know how to make the single bracelet, then it shouldn't be a problem to make this one as well. I like to think of this one as a friendship bracelet, because of the friendship symbol. But of course you can also just make it for yourself, if you like ;-) So let's get started! This is how the bracelet looks up close. It's in the colors of the rainbow You can wear it on both sides, because it looks the same on either side. In the center, you see the infinity symbol. And well, I like to think of it as a friendship symbol, representing a infinite friendship! This is what you'll need: The rainbow look, the hook, 36 black bands, 3 red bands, 4 orange, yellow, green, blue and 3 purple. And a C or S clip. Of course you can also choose to use other colors. Make sure these three rows are uneven - the middle row is closest to you. And also that the open sides of the pegs are facing away from you. We'll start by making the outside of the bracelet, so I'm grabbing a black band and I'll put it on the middle bottom peg and stretch it to the bottom right peg. Then add a black band from where you just ended and stretch it onto the peg above it. Again, grab another black one, put it onto the peg you just ended on and stretch it over the peg right above it. And keep doing this until the end of the row, but skip the last peg! So, let's wait a bit to get to the end here.. And you can see that I'm skipping the very last peg and stretch a black band over to the top middle peg instead. Stretch it over to the last peg on the middle row, as you can see here. If I went to fast, make sure you pause the video! Hit "play" whenever you feel ready for the next step! We just did the right side of the bracelet, so now we need to do the same thing to the other side. So grab a black band and start from the bottom middle peg and stretch it out to the bottom left peg. Then continue up the row, like you did on the other side. And again, skip the very last peg! Stretch the band onto the last middle peg instead. Now, grab another black band and we're going to cap off this last peg on the middle row. So put a black band on two fingers, stretch it out into the shape of an 8 and fold that half back onto your fingers. And then put it onto the last peg of the middle row, like this. Again, if I'm going too fast for you, make sure to pause the video and click play again whenever you're ready for the next step. This is how it should look right now. Now, we're going to make the infinity symbols. Grab you first color and make sure you grab two bands, because we're making a double infinity here! Don't start on the first pegs of the left and right row, but instead start on the second pegs. So put your two bands onto the second peg of the left row and stretch it out. Then shape it into the shape of an 8 and put it onto the second peg of the right row. Then, grab your second color, for me it's orange but I've decided to mix the orange with red so that the colors of the rainbow will gradually mix into each other. So, put the bands onto the next peg on the left row, stretch it, shape it into an 8 and put it onto the peg on the right row. So make sure you skip the middle row, there's nothing you need to do with that. Grab your next color, I have two orange bands here, and put it onto the peg, stretch it into an 8 and put it onto the peg on the right row. My next color is yellow but again, I'm mixing my colors, so I'm mixing it with orange. Again, I do this so the rainbow colors will gradually fade into each other. Of course, you do not have to do this, you can choose any colors you like! You can also just use 1 band instead of two, but I just liked this version better because it adds a bit of volume and thickness to the bracelet, making it look more finished. So keep making these 8 shapes until the end of your bracelet. Well, I'm putting them on all the way until the end, because that way I could finish my rainbow colors. However, you don't need to do this if you want the bracelet to look more balanced. Because at the beginning of the bracelet, we skipped the first two pegs. But I do want to do this, because again, I wanted to finish the rainbow colors :) I'll zoom out right now to show you what exactly I'm talking about, in case you're confused. Here, you can see that I added bands to these pegs but not to these. So, you don't have to do this.. but you can.. but it's not necessary.. well, whatever! 8-) Now, turn around your loom! And make sure that the open ends of the pegs are facing you. Grab your hook and let's get loomin'! We'll start with the peg on the bottom row and this is the peg that we just added our "cap band" on! The cap band is the band that we put on our fingers and folded. So put your hook in the middle of this band, push them away and then grab the band that is attached to the bottom right peg. As you can see here, this band is attached to the bottom right peg, so I'm folding it onto the bottom right peg. Then, put your hook in the middle of all these bands and push them aside. Then we'll continue to loom the rest of this row. So push all these bands away, except for the bottom one, because that's the band that's attached to the peg above it. So pull it up and hook it onto the next pin. And we'll continue to do this until the end of the bracelet. Now it'll start to get a little easier, because you only have to push away all the colored bands and grab the black band. Pull it up and hook it onto the next pin. And one thing that's extremely important to remember, is that you always need to place your hook on the inside of the bands. So that the black band will be pulled up from the inside of the colored bands. Because if you don't do this, Then you won't be attaching the bands together and then your bracelet will fall apart at the end. and of course, we don't want that to happen! So always grab your black band from the inside of the colored bands! And don't forget to finish this row by grabbing the black band from the last peg on the right row and hooking it over to the last peg on the middle row. So let's zoom out and this is what it looks like up until now. We hooked the right side but not yet the left side. And now we'll start to hook the left side! So, just do the same thing you did on the right side! Put your hook on the inside of the bands, push all the bands out of the way and grab the bottom black band. So grab the band that's attached to your next peg and hook it onto the next peg. And then put your hook on the inside of the bands, push them all away, except for the bottom one. Grab it, pull it up and hook it over to the next pin! So keep doing this until the end of the row. Again, don't forget to finish the row until the last peg on the middle row. And now I'll be fast forwarding this piece. But, don't be afraid to pause the video! And I just wanted to show this last band again, just to make sure you don't forget it! So, grab the black band on the last peg of the left row and hook it over to the last peg of the middle row. Now, we want to get it ready to be taken off the loom, so grab a black band and your hook. Put your hook on the inside of all the bands on the last peg of the middle row. Push it through all the way and then you can put your black band onto your hook. Then pull the black band halfway through all these bands on the peg and push your hook back into the black band. So now the whole bracelet is attached to this black band. And you all have asked me to show this next step a little slower, so I'm showing how to take the bracelet off very slowly. I'm just taking the bands off the pegs very carefully, not too fast. But, if you loomed everything correctly, then you shouldn't have any trouble with this step. So let's say your bracelet does fall apart.. .. then it means that you've made a mistake somewhere. Don't worry though, because practice makes perfect! Just try it again :) This is the last piece I'm taking off and now, the bracelet is done. Yay! Well.. It's still a bit too short. So we'll have to make an extension but first, I just want to look at how pretty the bracelet is! :) As you can see, it doesn't fit all the way around my wrist, so we'll just make a very simple extension for this bracelet. Turn your loom back around, so the open side of the pegs are facing away from you. And use black bands to make the extension. I used 6 bands and I'm just adding them all onto one row, as you can see here. We did this same step earlier in this video, so there's no use in explaining it again. So in total, I added 6 bands. Use less if you want your bracelet to be smaller, add more if you want it to be longer. Now grab the outer end of the bracelet, the side that's on your hook and stretch it onto the last peg you made your extension on. Now, turn the loom back around, grab your hook and we'll hook this extension together! So, again, put your hook on the inside of your bands, grab the black band that is attached to the next pin and pull it up and over the next peg. And continue this until the very end. I'm just going to fast forward this bit ;-) Here we go! Now I want to stretch out the very last band. This is not a necessary step but it just makes it easier for the C or S clip. So grab your C OR S clip! Both of them work, you can pick either one you like or use whichever one you have available. And push the opening of your clip onto the black bands to attach it. Now it's safe to pull your extension off the loom. Again, do this carefully because you don't want anything to break. No need to rush! And if everything went well, then it should look like this! Here you can see how I'm attaching one side to the other side of the bracelet. So I'm just attaching this side and then push the clip onto that side. And then it's finished! Again, I get so many questions if you can use an S clip for this, and the answer is YES! You can ALWAYS substitute an S clip for a C clip and vice versa :) So here I'm putting it on my wrist.. and well, I really like this bracelet! I love how it gradually fades into the next color.
