How to Make a Paper Lantern Bracelet

paper lantern rainbow loomOne of the challenges of coming up with new Rainbow Loom bracelets is naming them! Sometimes it will take a few days before we decide on a name that we like. After we decide on what to call a bracelet, we search online to make sure someone hasn’t already used the name.

We named this bracelet, designed by our Aunt Susan, the Paper Lantern Rainbow Loom bracelet because it reminds us of the Japanese paper lanterns we used to make in kindergarten.

We can’t seem to get enough hearts! In the spirit of Valentine’s Day, we came up with this Rainbow Loom pattern that we call Circle of Hearts.

Aside from the fact that it’s adorable, it’s pretty simple to make and it can be made on one loom without needing an extension.

That’s exactly what happened to us with this bracelet. We made several of these before discovering that this pattern was called the Chevron, and it was all over Youtube. Our bubble burst pretty quickly, but we perked up when we realized that we used an EASIER technique to make this design. It’s so easy, you’ll be whipping these up in no time – and your friends will be VERY impressed.

We recently watched Smurfs 2 and were inspired to make some Smurfy Rainbow Loom Toadstool charms.

You can make them in any color, but they look the Smurfiest when you use red and white bands.

These charms are small enough to attach to any Rainbow Loom bracelet.
