For this fancy bracelet called the Double Braid Loom Bracelet, you will need two looms.

If you want to learn how to make a Double Braid Loom Bracelet, use this video – but keep in mind that you will need to double up on the bands, which is something that Ally doesn’t mention until well into the tutorial.

The Liberty Twist is a great looking loom bracelet, but it does require patience. It took us two attempts to make this bracelet; our mom.. well, she’s another story. She tried twice and gave up!

We learned how to make these cool, glow in the dark ghosts from Made by Mommy.

Number of Bands: Approx. 95

We are loving the look of the Double Triple loom bracelet – especially in the above color combo.

The bands get pretty tight, so you need a fairly long extension on this bracelet.

We found the instructions weren’t that clear on making the extension, so we used this video for that part.
