While a rubber band loom definitely opens up the possibilities in terms of styles of bracelets you can make, you can still make a basic, single band bracelet without a loom. This technique is great for making bracelets on the go and is a great starter technique for creating these bracelets.

Difficulty level: Easy
Time required: 10 minutes

Things you’ll need:
Loom bands and S hooks
Hook

Things to do:
1. Fold a rubber band in half and loop the fold through one side of the S hook.

2. Slide the hook through the two loops.

3. Loop a new band onto the hook.

4. Twist the hook slightly and pull it through the two loops gently until the hook is just past the pair of loops.

5. With the band still on the hook, slip the end of the hook through the other loop of the new rubber band.

6. Repeat the process until you have the length of bracelet you want.

7. Hook the ends of the bracelet into the other half of the S hook.
