Magic machine for braiding elastic bands: how to create your own jewelry

The most famous machine for weaving bracelets from rubber bands is called "Rainbow Lum". It can be either solid or collapsible: a special lever on the end of the metal hook allows you to detach its ties from the rows with posts. The bars themselves can be installed both smoothly and with offset - depending on which bracelet you want to make. Modified machine for weaving bracelets from rubber bands is called "Moon Lum" - on its basis it is possible to create truly unusual, unlike the usual costume jewelery. Below are detailed instructions on the own creation of beautiful and original baubles.

"Summer"

To make this bright and unusual decoration you will need "Fanny Lum" black color, as well as rubber bands of any contrasting shades for your taste. In addition, you will need a Moon Loom machine, a hook, a clip for securing the canvas and, of course, mottled beads - it is from these that the adorable summer flowers will be formed.

First step

• If you are the first to pick up a bracelet making machine from rubber bands, take a closer look at its shape and immediately put it in the closed sides of the posts to yourself. Taking black gum, pounce them from the first column of the center to the first column on the right, and then from the first column of the center - to the first column on the left.
• Continue to throw gum, alternating right and left rows. Stop the weaving, leaving the four columns of the central row empty. If you are planning to make a decoration for a wide wrist, you can finish these four posts. After learning how to weave bracelets from the rubber bands on the machine "Moon Lum", you very soon will be able to independently vary the size of their creations.
• At the end of the circle, you can start to sprout a starlet-flowers with beads. For each element you will need six colored rubber bands. The first "Fanny Lum" from the second column of the center is thrown on the second column of the right row.
• The remaining rubber bands are placed on adjacent posts clockwise. To understand how to weave bracelets made of rubber bands, you will not need a scheme: just follow the motif and the nature of the interlacing of "Fanny Lum". In the asterisks, alternate colors of rubber bands and beads.

Second phase

• Throw black "Fanny Lum" (they will be contact) on the last column of the central row and in the center of each asterisk.
• Expand the braided bracelet from the rubber bands with the sides of the bars open to yourself and start making sprockets. To do this, the first "Fanny Lum" hooked and held under a rubber band, and then transferred to a neighboring column of the central row. In the same way, the remaining stars end, moving strictly counterclockwise.
• Now you can finish the weaving with elastic bands. Bracelets on the machine "Moon Lum" often end with the introduction of a hook under all contact bands and putting them into the last of the remaining loops. You got a bright and at the same time unobtrusive bracelet with beautiful flowers from multi-colored beads.

"Staircase" with beads

This technique of weaving is famous enough, since it does not require significant time costs from the needlewoman and allows you to decorate the bouquet with stylish beads.

To make this decoration, you will need a rubber of the same color (for example, blue), as well as a machine, a hook, a clip and beads of an elongated shape.

First step

• Arrange the "Moon Lum" with the closed sides of the posts to yourself and throw on the outer rows of blue rubber bands. If the decoration is intended for the owner of thin wrists, do not twist the two bars at the end of the machine.
• Spread gum with beads, starting with the second column of the left and right rows and ending with the penultimate posts.
• Throw one "Fanny Lum" on the central row. On the last column, the contact rubber should be placed four turns.

Second step

• If you have already woven a summer "summer", then by now you will probably understand how to weave bracelets from rubber bands on a machine of this type. First of all, you need to turn "Moon Lum" open sides of the bars to yourself, and then insert the hook under the contact blue rubber, pick up the top and throw it to a nearby post. All the rubber bands of the central row are weaved accordingly.
• Throughout the length of the machine over the elastic bands with beads, a new blue "Fanny Lum" is pounced.
• To finish a fresco, weave the elastic bands of the extreme rows, inserting a hook under the contact rubber band, picking up the interesting one and transferring it to the upper column of the right row. Similarly, the whole series is weaved. If you want to know by your own experience how to weave bracelets made of rubber bands, you do not need a scheme: the unique Mun Moon machine is able to replicate and surpass even the most eye-popping ornaments made at Rainbow Loom. It is possible that the presented photos and instructions will inspire you to your own creations on the round "Moon Lum". Many are interested in how to make a bracelet made of rubber bands on a rainbow loom, but the rest of the equipment, no doubt, deserves no less respect.
• Finishing the baubles, enter the hook under all the stitches on the first column of the center, pick up another rubber band of blue color and pull it through all the hinges. Now you can simply remove the bracelet from Moon Moon, fix it with a clip and proudly wear it on the playground or at school.
