It is quite possible to mark reasonably accurate angles with just a scrap of paper.

Folding the paper in half makes a straight edge - a 180o angle.

Fold it in half again, lining the creased edge along itself, makes a 90o angle.

Fold again, and make a 45o angle.

A final fold makes a 221/2o angle.

Open the paper up, and you find sixteen equally-spaced creases.

Line the loom up with the hole over the point where all the creases cross, and then make marks where each crease meets the edge of the loom.
