Normal Loom Band (single Chain)
Intro: Normal Loom Band (single Chain)
This is the simplest and most basic loom band and there is no loom required! :)
STEP 1:
Equipment:
Lots of loom bands
Two pens*
An s clip
A hook**
*it doesn't matter what type of pens they are, but it helps if they're the same size
**this is a loom hook. When you buy a pack of loom bands, it might come with a hook, but you can also get them at craft stores. This is optional and sometimes using your fingers is just better.

STEP 2:
Place one band on the 2 pens. You should twist it across both pens like a figure 8
STEP 3:
Now, place another band on top of the twisted one. Don't twist it, just put it normally
STEP 4:
Grab the bottom band on the right side and pull it up and on top of the higher band. It should look like the photo.
NOTE: for this, you can use the hook or your fingers.

I dig the fishtail look, even if it was by accident. You can build lots of cool stuff using similar techniques by just knitting, as yarn is a little cheaper than those rubber bands. And you can wear knit stuff for warmth as well as fashion.
