At our house, we love to create Rainbow Loom Charms band bracelets, but a kid can only wear so many. My oldest son has taken to making all sorts of charms on his loom. Charms are fun because you can use them as key chains, zipper pulls, or trade them with friends. Here are our favorite Rainbow Loom charm ideas to make.
