How to Make a Fishtail Rubber Band Bracelet
The most popular fad right now are the Rubber Band Bracelets. Children of all ages (and adults) have taken to making these fun bracelets, and I couldn’t be happier. Getting children away from technology is always a great thing. Not to mention the fine motor skills that these bracelets use is great.
There are lots of different styles of bracelets that can be made. Today I’m sharing one of the easiest bracelets, the Fishtail.
So fun! The color combinations are endless. You could certainly have hours of fun doing this kids craft. My youngest son who is 16 made the black and white one, and the green, black and yellow one. I love how colorful they are. We have lots to cover, let’s get started…
How to make a Fishtail Rubber Band Bracelet
- Twist first rubber band to make a figure eight, and place on 2 pegs
- Add the second color of rubber band
- Add the third color of rubber band
- Using the pick tool, grab the rubber band on the bottom
- And pull it over the top two rubber bands
- Repeat for the other side
- This is how it will look after both sides are pulled. Push down the rubber bands to keep them tight on the pegs.
- Add another rubber band
- Repeat pulling the bottom bands with the pick tool
- Continue the process – add a rubber band and pull the bottom band over the top two bands
- To finish the bracelet – remove from the pegs and pull out the rubber bands that were attached to the peg
- Attach the “C” Clips to one side
- Attach the other side to the “C” Clip
