Start with your rainbow loom in the normal configuration. Start with the red arrow facing away from you and place the first band diagonally out to the left. Now go in a straight chain up until the second to last pin. To end this, take one more band and bring it into the middle. Do the same on the right.

When you're done, it should look like this. Now, place a cap band on the last peg.

The twists will go horizontally across the loom. To do this, take three different colors of bands and twist them together into an 8 shape. Place this across the loom on the pegs the picture shows. Continue this all the way up the loom.

Flip the loom over so that the arrow is facing you and put a cap band on the first pin on the top.

Looming the Bands

To start looming, go under the cap band and grab the first yellow band and hook it to the left. Reach under and grab the right band and bring it to the right.

Now you will be going in just a straight chain up the loom. Once you have reached the end, bring the last band into the middle. Do the same thing with the right side.

*make sure you're not grabbing the twist bands!
