Perhaps the charms are much smaller as compared to my regular crochet projects too.

I guess she will look cuter if I have pony beads for her eyes and nose. I didn’t quite like how my bunny turned out. Nonetheless, video tutorials really make learning so much easier because you can just follow along the step-by-step instructions. This baby easter bunny is the most complicated among the 3 animal charms I’ve made. Click “ Here” for this penguin charm tutorial by Elegant Fashion 360. I just adore penguins!

These adorable pandas were my 1st rainbow loom project! I started making my 1st one in black and white and I realised how quick and easy it was, so I decided to make another two more in different colour combinations. Never know crochet hooks can be used for other purposes such as this and I have to say I was very fascinated to see these fancy coloured rubber bands transformed into cute animals infront of my very eyes. I just enjoy making and building things with my own hands! :) If you’re doing it together with your children, then that’s a different story. My Dad saw me weaving rubber bands onto my plastic pegs and started commenting that these are for little kids! *laughs* “I know Dad.” To a certain extent, I do feel I am a little too old to pick up rainbow looming. I will share the links below towards the end of this post.

I spent last weekend making a few of these super cute animal charms with the aid of some amazing YouTube Tutorials. I am a sucker for animals and cute little things so the animal charms I found on the internet were the first thing that caught my eye instead of the usual fancy pretty bracelets. Before I knew it, I had “fallen prey to” them and bought a set on impulse. It was too difficult not to give my attention to those colourful boxes. While doing my yarn shopping at a local crafts store 2 weeks ago, I saw this huge stack of rainbow looms just beside the crafts store’s main entrance. This brilliant invention soon became one of the latest craze across the globe, especially among the younger generation. I have never imagined myself hopping onto this bandwagon and getting myself hooked to this rainbow loom craze. We’re linking to the parties located HERE.Who would have thought we could create adorable animal charms using rubber bands?! Well, a genius did! Cheong Choon Ng the brains behind Rainbow Loom came out with this concept of using a plastic pegboard and crochet hook to weave colourful rubber bands into bracelets and charms. Penguin Charm, Baby Chick Charm and Angry Bird CharmĪnd my favorite…. The YouTube videos are linked to the name of the charms so if you want to make them, just click on the name of the charm and it’ll take you to the YouTube video.

How cute are these? Perfect for backpacks or keychains. We wanted to do something different than just the bracelets so we decided to do charms. So we’re looming our hearts out to get closer to our goal. Sounds unreal, right? We’re so excited but we have to raise a ton of money to do this. We’re planning a volunteer trip in June to Peru to work in an orphanage for 6 weeks. Why are we making so many Loom Band things? We sell them. We sit on the floor in front of my iPad and look up videos on YouTube. But it’s fun, cheap, fairly easy and something my kids and I can do together. We’ve made more bracelets than one family ever should. Yep, we’re hooked on Loom Bands in our house.
