Hi everyone! Today I will show you QUICK SIMPLE and CHEAP Christmas Gifts!
With Christmas LITERALLY tomorrow, you know that one person that you either work with, loosely know, or want to give an extra gift to. Well, no more wondering! For this, all you need is a few bands and optionally beads. Almost everyone knows the big trend--Rainbow loom. But, that's not it! But, Rainbow Loom and other brands sell re-fill packs. But, if you don't know what Rainbow Loom is, it's a Loom where you link bands together to make braceleet. (I will be posting a more vivid Post about this, later) All you need is a few Rubber bands to make these cute rings!
1 - SIMPLE STYLE (Beads Optional)BEGINNER LEVEL
Ok, for this one you just need 2 bands. First step- take the first rubber band, and take the second one and put it through the first. It should look like this.
Now, the band you pulled through, pull both sides so it looks like 2 bands.
Now, please
Listen to this part. We will be doing a Slip Knot, and we need to do this in all the rings. So, take ONE SIDE of the band. Pull it through the other side. The Side of the Band you put through the other one, pull hard. It should become a little Knot ... (Ring Shown Above)
This is the Optional Version. All you have to do is take a bead (Please, one with a BIG hole) Preferably a pony bead, and put it through the bands.
Please make sure the Bead is Centered, covering the knot.
It SHOULDN'T be slanted to one side, it should be centered.
Above is the WRONG way to do it.
2 - Fountain Burst (No beads)EXPERT LEVEL
For this pattern you need 5 bands. 4 of the 5 bands should be colorful, like a fountain. Use any colors you like, but these 4 bands are the ones that are bursting out of the ring.
First, take your 4 rubber bands and put them on your fingers. For this one, you'll need to use your feet!!
Take your fifth band and put it on one big toe. Stretch it and turn it onto the other toe.
Put your 4 bands through the band on your toes, and pull both sides. it should look like the image below!
Now, this is the HARD part. Take the bottom half of your 4 bands and put it up and through the other side of your single band. Now, do the
Slip Knot, mentioned in the first pattern. Pull down, and remove from your toes. Spread the loose bands out to create a fountain like burst!
3 - Rolling Tire (Bead MUST HAVE) Beginner to Intermediate
This is the last pattern, the Rolling Tire. it's a Rolling Tire because the bead us positioned on it's side. Please use a pony bead with a big hole to do this pattern.
Take one band, and with your pony bead pull it through.
Now, stretch it far apart. Now, be careful. Take one end and do the
Slip Knot Mentioned in Pattern one. This is your final product!
Tada! I hope these easy patterns helped for your Christmas Needs! Merry Christmas and I hope you all have fun. I will be posting a TON more--I have a lot of pictures ready!!!!
See you next time
