Step 2

Go back to where you started and make an “X” with the bands.

Step 3

Loop from the center prong to the outer prongs. We made our “X”s with pink, purple and blue.

Step 4

Top the middle of each “X” with an “O” – use a single band and double loop it over the center prong. We used white and yellow for our “O”s.

Step 5

Flip your loom over, so the prongs look like “n”s. Working from the bottom, begin pulling the bands over the prong in front of it.

Step 6

With the center, pull the bands off, looping them through the circle “O”.
