Now, as most teenagers know, it is never good when your mum has more knowledge on a new fashion trend, so I made it my priority to research and look around to find out why these "loom bands" are causing such a phenomenon, and what celebrities are currently wearing this style of bracelet?
1) Bracelets
The most popular style of jewellery through loom bands is the faithful bracelet. This means that you can wear maybe just the one bracelet or for a more relaxed and boho look, stack multiple bracelets on both wrists, in a range of different colours and patterns, like the picture above. If you would like to learn how to make a loom bracelet, there are a range of different YouTube videos online, or step-by-step guides on the internet as well, so make sure to check them out. Also, for those of you, that are interested in loom bands, but are worried they will cost a lot of money, don't worry as you can go into the pound shop or The Entertainer and they are only selling for £1 a packet, in a range of colour. Now, you have no excuses!
Loom Bands have become so big that even royalty have been photographed wearing them, pictured below is Kate Middleton, wearing a single bracelet featuring a smart attire.
Or, you can copy Lauren Conrad who has been pictured wearing a variety of loom bands on her wrist.
2) Necklaces
A second way you could wear your loom band is by creating a necklace. This could be paired with any outfit and will add a spot of colour and originality to any piece of clothing. Again, you could keep the look simple with just the one necklace or for a more daring look you could place multiple necklaces. However, make sure that the necklace is not too tight and please test how tight the necklace is before tying the loom band off.
You could try and create a loom band chocker necklace, in which you would have created two trends in one, as the chocker necklace is another up-and-coming trend this season.
3) More Experienced Creations
Once you have grasped the loom bands and how to make bracelets in different styles, you might want to try and make a more difficult and challenging creation with the loom bands. Below are some really cool creations people have shaped out of the bands. If you do want to try out any of these designs, then make sure to check out the YouTube videos that I have linked below (under the image).
Maybe, a cute penguin and its baby
Or some unique and home made Christmas decorations
How about some bunny rabbits for Easter
These loom bands make such great and interesting accessories for anybody and everybody. So, next time you are stuck for a present or gift for your parent or sibling, then why not make them a loom band bracelet, necklace or character. I'm sure they will love it, as you put in the time and effort to make something that they can keep for a long time. Another idea is making friendship bracelets for your group of friends at school, that way you will all feel like you are part of a group, with a colourful bracelet to show off!
Now, you have the hang of the loom bands, why not try and copy Jimmy Kimmel and make a whole suit full of loom bands. I found this so funny and it must have taken hours to make but it looks so cool.
Hope this blog post filled you guys in on the latest craze. I know it is late but hopefully it informed some of you who are clueless on this craze as I was.
