(figure 3). LOOP the Band onto another Post (figure 4). NOTE: It may help to use your fingers to hold down the other Bands while PICKING

IMPORTANT TIPS:
1. Make sure that you PLACE the Bands on the Loom one at a time in the order shown in the PLACE PATTERN of your chosen bracelet.
2. The Cra-Z-Loom works best on a stable surface.
3. Two Cra-Z-Looms can be linked together end-to-end to make longer designs.

Finishing It Off

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. Gently lift and tug the


bracelet off of the Loom.

4. Connect the two ends of the


bracelet with an S-clip.

5. You can make your bracelet longer by adding extra single Bands to either end as described in Steps 1 & 2. If your bracelet is too long,
simply place fewer Bands onto the Loom when you make your next Bracelet, stopping on Post 34 or 31.

Cra-Z-Loom Tips & Tricks

Use different combinations of colored Bands and follow the PLACE and

PICK Patterns to create your own unique jewelry!


Its easy to add beads & charms (not included). Simply string a bead
onto a finished bracelet or string a bead onto a Band before placing it
on the Cra-Z-Loom.
If your bracelet is too tight, add extra Bands to the bracelet before
connecting with the S-Clip.
If your bracelet is too loose, make your bracelet shorter by not placing
Bands to the end of the Cra-Z-Loom. Stop on Post 34 or 31 depending
upon the size you need.
When your bracelet is finished, you may need to tug and tidy up the loops
of your bracelet.
