YOU'LL NEED:
A LOOM
A CLIP
RAINBOW BANDS
A HOOK

Beginning

13, 7:16 PM.jpg
Now that you have your materials out, grab a (any color)rubber band and place it from the diagonally from left to right.

13, 7:16 PM.jpg
After you placed the first rubber band, place the second from the top of your first rubber band, forward

13, 7:16 PM.jpg
Then put another rubber band from the top of your second rubber band diagonally from right to left

13, 7:16 PM.jpg
After you do that, do the same to the other side

13, 7:16 PM.jpg
13, 7:16 PM.jpg
Now that you've done both sides(make sure it looks like a hexagon), grab a different colored rubber band(this is going to be the butterfly's wings) and twist it into a figure 8

Then place the figure 8 two pegs so that it looks like the picture. After you do that place another one so that both 8s are in the hexagon

The Next Butterfly

13, 7:16 PM.jpg
After you finished with the 8s(wings), you will have to start another butterfly. To start, add a different colored rubber band diagonally(like the 1st butterfly)

Now that you started the second butterfly, do what you did for the first butterfly

Colors

You could keep repeating the same colors OR you could do ALL of the butterflies with different colors

13, 7:16 PM.jpg
Keep repeating with all of the butterflies until you've reached the top of the loom with only two pegs(top left and top right) left

Cap Band

Now it's time to add a cap band! Make a figure 8 with a rubber band( I prefer black or the same colored band as the rubber bands your placing it on) any color you want and put the figure 8 together to make an O that has been doubled

Placing the Cap Band

After making the cap band( the doubled O), place it on the top band in the middle row

Now It's Time for Looping

Grab your hook and flip the loom so that the holes and arrow is facing you

13, 7:17 PM.jpg
13, 7:17 PM.jpg
13, 7:17 PM.jpg
Now pull back the cap band with your hook(by putting your hook in the hole) and grab the top rubber band and loop it diagonally. Do the same on the other side. Make sure your loom matches all of the steps' pictures

13, 7:17 PM.jpg

Now loop the other band on the bottom right that goes straight(the bottom rubber band)

13, 7:17 PM.jpg
13, 7:17 PM.jpg
13, 7:17 PM.jpg
Now loop the next rubber band that is on top of the band you just looped(the bottom rubber band)

13, 7:17 PM.jpg
Now do the same on the other side

13, 8:55 PM.jpg
Remember to leave the wings alone. Now do the same to the other butterflies until you reach the top of the loom

13, 7:17 PM.jpg
13, 7:17 PM.jpg
13, 7:17 PM.jpg
Now grab a rubber band, any color, and put your hook through the top hole. When your hook is in, place your rubber band on it and pull your hook back out of the hole with the rubber band half out and half in the hole

Almost Done!

13, 7:17 PM.jpg
Now pull the rubber bands off the loom with the extra rubber band on top

13, 7:17 PM.jpg
13, 8:55 PM.jpg
Now that you pulled it off, flip the loom back around so that the arrow is pointing away from you. Then add about 8 or 9 rubber bands forward. When your done with that, flip it again so that the arrow is now pointing at you

13, 8:55 PM.jpg
13, 8:55 PM.jpg
Now place the extra rubber band(from earlier on the butterfly part) on the last/bottom rubber band.
