How to Make a Kaleidoscope Bracelet

Ellen Carpenter is a Rainbow Loom genius in our books. She is the one that came up with the UBER fabulous Kaleidoscope Bracelet pattern. This is one of the most exquisite bracelets we’ve made so far – and we have made dozens and dozens of patterns!

The hilarious thing about our bracelet is that when were making it (way too late at night!) we kept remarking on how crazy difficult it was (never mind ‘very challenging’, it was more like ‘OMG!’). But then we noticed that our mom had placed one of the rows on our Rainbow Loom incorrectly. We were half way through hooking when we noticed this, so we had to carefully work around it. We were bleary eyed by the time we pulled it off the loom. It is a miracle that we got through it with our bracelet intact!

Here it is before we removed it from the Rainbow Loom. Look closely and you will see that the left row is placed the wrong way:

We can’t wait to try this pattern again with all of our rows placed correctly!:)

    I love the rainbow loom because it is so much fun. I’m learning how to do it slowly because I just got it.

    Super cool! My brother got a RL for Xmas, and he traded it for a turquoise, red and green hexafish. So now I got two looms!

    Cute! I checked out the videos Ellen made and them were awesome! I mean, she made a 2 loom checkerboard bracelet and then an exact same 1 loom bracelet! I love the zipper one which I think you can make on 1 loom! Anyway, loomlove is the best place for rainbow looms considering it’s SUPER easy! EVEN the very challenging ones!

    Thanks Loom Love! I found a tutorial online on how to do this bracelet on one loom, but couldn’t access it immediately, so please post it on your website! Thanks for the great tutorials! After Easter, I reccomend you post a tutorial on the hibiscus flower bracelet. It’s as beautiful as this. Happy Easter!

    Would you please make a bracelet with baseballs for each of the round sections? I think it would be much more fabulous than any of the baseball bracelets I have seen so far. I tried, I just can’t figure it out!!

    Great job, loomlove! And to Ellen Carpenter for creating this! It is so pretty! There’s also a bracelet called the hexapop bracelet and it’s sort of a spin-off of the kaleidoscope bracelet. You should check it out on YouTube, it’s made by Officiallyloomed.

      Sorry, I shouldn’t laugh but hahaha! Lol
      I just tried this for the 1st time today and my loom fell to pieces as I was pulling it off and one of the bands right near the beginning snapped! Grrr
      Maybe another day 🙁

    Hi Loom Love!

    I recently made this bracelet and absolutely loved it! It is a gorgeous design, and everyone in my family adored it! I have never seen such a pretty pattern. Thanks for these tutorials! If you haven’t seen my previous comment already, you can find it as the first comment for the Zen bracelet. Thanks again!

    That happened to me . . . I was making an apple when I realised that the left pin bar was still the other way round from when I had tried what I think was the inverted hexafish

    hi loom love!! i love your site and i make all of my bracelets from here. this bracelet was very easy to make and i love it a lot. i would like you to give some color suggestions with every bracelet because it’s very difficult to choose the colors for the bracelet

    I absolutely LOVE this bracelet! I tried it once, I messed up and I didn’t like the color scheme. I tried it a second time and I got it. The result was absolutely incredible! I thought it was really easy. Rainbow Looming is basically my hobby. I love it! Merry Christmas, Loom Love!
