Standard 6 Loop Set Up for Hook Only Rainbow Loom Bracelets

Standard 6 Loops Set-UpA.jpg

This is a tutorial for a standard 6 loops set up for hook only rainbow loom bracelets. It is a regular set-up wherein you will have a 6 loops on the hook that you can use as base, so you can experiment and create your very own rainbow loom bracelets using just a hook! Some of my designs are based in this set-up which I could hopefully share all to you.

Things You Needed:

1. Rainbow Loom Hook - you can also use a Crochet hook instead or any plastic hook.

2. Set of Bands - If you are for practice, you don't need any type of bands for this. It will only serve a base for your experiment in making a new design.

Making the Capped Band.

Get a band and make an "8" figure on your hook. This is called a capped band. (2 loops on the hook).

Insert a New Band.

Insert a new band through all the loops (2 loops) on the hook. Do not close it yet.

Reclaim Half of the Capped Band.

Reclaim or hook back one side of the capped band back to the hook and then close the other end of the new inserted band.

Insert a New Band Again.

Close With the Other End of the New Band.

Flip the Bands.
