As an avid crafter and a nerd, I really love that it creates beautiful wearable product, while also challenges the grey cells.
If you chained rubber bands to make skipping rope when you were small, imagine making it with much nicer bands. And... Million more ways to braid/weave it to make nicer chain. Even, charms like Christmas tree, the yellow minions, flowers, whatsnots are possible.
Check it out (don't judge the product by the website, please go on... Check out the video, a patented device surely deserves to be admired)

Or, if you're you-tubers, just search there. There're much more videos to enjoy.
Pssst... If you're considering, I bought it from Spotlight @ Plaza Singapura for around SGD 30. It's the loom, plus picker, a bag of bands plus c-clips enough for 24 bracelets. Price is a bit steep, but I think of it as a well-deserved reward for a brilliant idea.
As usual, this is NOT a paid post for advertisement. I do not receive anything from Spotlight or Rainbow Loom for this post. Strictly to share and support good product.
P.S. If you know any good cheaper place to get the rubber bands, please do leave comments. I think I'll need to stock up soon. So many ideas to try out!
There is a different loom called Cra-z loom and they have refill packs. It worls just as well on the Rainbow Loom. You can get the kit and refills at toys r us. For 600 bands of each colour (three of them) it costs 10 dollars and for 600 bands of each colour (seven of them) it costs 20 dollars. Hope this helped!
ReplyDeleteDoes spotlight sell the refill bands?
ReplyDeleteYes, they do. But stock varies, both in kinds and quantity. There were times it is out of stock.
