Two Cra-Z-Looms can be linked together end-to-end to make longer designs. 4. Connect the two ends of the bracelet with an S-clip. 1. When you are done with your bracelet, thread a single Band through all of the bands gathered around Post 2. 2. Slip one end of the single Band through the other end, and pull to tighten. 3.
