Hey guys! I've been asked so many times to film a rubber band bracelet tutorial and I

finally decided to give it a try. I'm gonna share this five designs with you today, some

of them you may have already seen, some of them may be new. These are just the ones that

I really like. And the best part is that you don't need a loom or a hook to make them,

all you need is your fingers and things that you can find around your house. Alright, now

go grab your bands and let's get started. First let’s make this beautiful red and

green infinity sign bracelet. You’ll need any kind of connector charm, a c-clip and

some bands. You'll also need a couple of fingers, I'll use a pointer and my middle finger. Stick

the rubber band through one infinity loop. Put the band on your fingers, by going through

one loop with a pointer and through the other with a middle finger. Then put on a second

band. Grab your bottom band, pull it over the finger and release. Do the same on the

middle finger. Put the next band layer on and again grab the bottom band and pull it

over both fingers. From time to time you need to push your bands down to make space for

more bands. Go in with a new band and just repeat the step. Pull the bottom band over

the top one and over your fingers on both sides. When you reach half of the desired

length of your bracelet, take a c-clip and slide it on the band loop on one side. Then

pull everything over to the pointer and slide the clip on there as well. The first half

of the bracelet is complete, so it’s time to make the same band chain on the other side

of the infinity sign. Stick the band through the infinity loop, put it on your fingers

and then add another band layer. Pull the bottom band over the top one, over the finger

and release. As you can see I am alternating between red and green bands all the time to

get that red-green alternating pattern. You can use any band colors you like: perhaps

just one band color for the entire bracelet or you can alternate between three or four

different colors. Here comes my last band and the bracelet is long enough for me. To

finish off slide on a c-clip through both band loops like so. And there you go! This

cute but simple bracelet is done in literally two minutes. And you can make it using any

connector charm, how cool is that!? Next we are making this pretty beaded band

bracelet, but first let's make a simple loom out of two pencils, eraser and some tape.

Put the pencils on the left and right side of the eraser, then wrap some tape around

to hold everything in place. This simple loom can be used to make many different bracelets

and you'll learn a few more designs in this tutorial.

For our beaded bracelet we need some beads, twice as many bands - I went for three different

colors of each, a c-clip and a pencil loom. You can also make this bracelet on two fingers

just as we did before. To save me some time, I like to stick a band through the bead first

and make a bunch of these beaded bands. You also want to have some bands ready without

beads because we will be alternating between empty bands and bands with beads. Ok, take

your first empty band put it on the pencils by twisting it so you get a figure eight or

an infinity sign. Now take a band with a bead, place it on top and pull the bottom band over

the top one, over the pencil and release. Since I added a band with a bead before, I

am now taking an empty band. Put it on the pencils and again pull the bottom band over

the top one. Push the bands down to get space for another layer. Take a beaded band again,

stretch it over the pencils and pull the bottom band over the top one on left and right. Time

for another empty band. See how I am alternating between bands with beads and empty bands.

I decided to pair green bands with pink beads, yellow bands with blue beads and pink bands

with yellow beads for beautiful pastel explosion. I am just moving between these three piles

of bands and beads making sure that I alternate between empty bands and bands with beads.

Continue doing this until your bracelet is long enough to fit your wrist. Just a final

band and it’s time to attach a c-clip. As with the previous bracelet, slide it on the

band loop on the right, take everything to the left and attach a c-clip on that band

loop too. Our bracelet is all done! I really like the combination of bands and beads and

I love the pastel colors I chose for this one. Looks like a candy bracelet to me!

If you don’t have any beads, you can totally make this bracelet by using bands only. Let

me show you how easy it is. Instead of making bead band pairs as before, wrap one band 3

or 4 times around another band like so. You can also do this with a help of a bobby pin

for example. Wrap the band 4 times around the pin. Take the other band, put it on top

of the pin and stretch. Then push the wrapped band on it like that.

Make the bracelet in the same way as before, except now instead of beaded bands you have

these two wrapped bands. Start by crossing an empty band, add a band with another band

wrapped and pull the bottom band over the top one on each side. Put on an empty band

and repeat. Take another wrapped band. Pull the bottom band over the top one on each side

and go on with an empty band again. Just continue alternating between wrapped bands and single

bands until the bracelet is long enough. And here's your finished bracelet. Looks just

as pretty as the beaded one. Let’s now make this cool looking two colored

chain bracelet. You will need two colors of bands and a clip. You can make this bracelet

using two fingers or using our DIY pencil loom. Put the blue band on the pencils by

twisting it like so. Add a pink band and another blue band on top. Now, on the right side pull

the pink band below the first blue one and pull that blue band over the top blue one,

making an inverse fishtail stitch. On the left make a normal fishtail stitch by pulling

the bottom blue band over the pencil. Add another pink band and make an inverse fishtail

stitch on the left this time. On the right make a fishtail stitch by pulling the bottom

pink band over. And just continue with this pattern. Put on a blue band, inverse fishtail

on the right, fishtail on the left. You need to alternate between fishtail and inverse

fishtail stitch. Let's see the steps slowly once again: Put on a blue band, make an inverse

stitch on the right and regular fishtail stitch on the left. Add a pink band and make an inverse

fishtail stitch on the left and regular fishtail stitch on the right. Go in with a blue band

again, make an inverse fishtail on the right and regular one on the left. After a while

you will see the bracelet growing between the pencils in a really cool way! I am putting

on my last band, making the inverse stitch on the right and the normal stitch on the

left. To finish this bracelet, pull the bottom band over the top one, so you are left with

only one band on the pencils. Take a c-clip and slide it on on the right side and then

on the left like that. Take the bracelet of the loom and look how beautiful it is. I love

how different this bracelet looks with two lines all along. Pretty awesome!

Next we are making this interesting knotted bracelet. You will need some bands, a c-clip

and a paper clip. Start by transforming a paper clip into a hook. First stretch it a

bit and then bend a short piece in like so. Place your first elastic on the pencils by

crossing it. Add two more rubber bands on top like so. Make a normal fishtail stitch

by pulling bottom band over top ones. Put on another band and again pull the bottom

band over top ones. Push the bands down and continue as if you were making a fishtail

bracelet. You can alternate two or more colors all along the bracelet, but this time I decided

to make larger parts of colors. First I had a red patch and now I am making a green one.

After four to five normal fishtail stitches, we need to grab the bottom band that we started

our bracelet with and pull it up through the middle of all other bands. For that, we need

to make space in the middle by pushing the bands out of the way. Then grab your most

bottom band and pull it up like so. Now just continue making normal fishtail stitches.

Add a band and pull the bottom band over the other two on each side and over the pencil.

From time to time you have to pull the bracelet up slightly so that it can continue growing.

Here we have our last band, put it on and grab the bottom band over. The bracelet is

long enough to fit my wrist so to finish it I have to pull the bottom band over the top
