Last year at my local library, I noticed a sign that said rubber band looms were available for loan. I didn't know what they were, and didn't think much about them after that.
Then this summer I went to an elementary school craft fair, where I bought duck tape pens and an elephant fabric basket. One of the many booths was staffed by two charming and poised entrepreneurs who were selling a variety of items made out of rubber bands. Now I know what rubber band looms can do, with the right operator.
They can make bracelets.
Numerous companies make these looms, but the Rainbow Loom seems to be a leader in the field, with lots of instructional videos. This pattern is called Star Burst.
Same pattern; different color palette.
And the looms can also make "sweaters". One of the girls told me she was going to make a rubber band person. Maybe it will be ready next year.
