A couple of weeks ago I was contacted by Fox Chapel Publishing and asked if I would host a giveaway on my blog for Design Originals new book:
My boys recently caught onto the Rainbow Loom craze and were using their fingers to craft bracelets for themselves, their friends, and their family. They were beyond excited when a copy of this book arrived in our mailbox.
We picked up a loom so they could try out some of the bracelet styles pictured in the book.
They loved it! This full-color book is fun and engaging for little (and big!) bracelet makers.
First, they flipped through the 48-page book to choose a project. The brightly colored and doodled layouts are packed with jewelry-making info and tips.
Once they settled on their design (of course it was the Starburst Bracelet on pg. 34), they choose the number of bands needed from the "What You'll Need" list, and set to work loading the loom following the "Load It Up!" diagram that accompanies each loom project. Each band is numbered on the diagram making it easy to follow. As long as you load the loom in numerical order you'll have a fun and funky bracelet (my son had to learn this the hard way!). They also provide "Load It Up!" diagrams for alternate color schemes.
Next comes the sometimes tricky part of hooking the bracelet. The book makes this part easy by providing detailed step-by-step photos along with written instructions for how to "Get Loopin'." There are also directions for finishing your bracelets, as well as projects other than bracelets, such as earrings, a flower charm, a belt, and more.
You can take a peek at the book in the preview below:

ReplyDeleteThis would be great to have! Rainbow loom is going strong in our house and we are always up for the challenge of learning new styles.
ReplyDeleteMy daughter just got a rainbow loom for her birthday. She would love if we won this
ReplyDeleteMy 6 year old son is crazy for the Rainbow Loom! We bought him a loom today so that he can keep himself occupied on an 8-hour car trip next weekend. He's been practicing by making bracelets for himself, his younger brother, my husband, me, and I think everyone we've ever encountered in our lifetime. He would love this book to help keep up with all the cool bracelet styles and the other things that the kids at his school are doing with the Rainbow Loom!
