| EZ Looper Double Band Silver & Gold Bracelet Made by Mary Slivinski |
Silver and Gold go together like the sun and moon or salt
and pepper…naturally without thought.
So when I combined
Silver and gold rubber bands and made it into a bracelet and wore it to a
dinner party, I didn't expect comments like, “that looks like something I would
wear,” or “are you kidding me?! That’s made out of rubber bands?!”
For me Classy never goes out of style. Take Ali McGraw from Love Story: classy plaid skirt with a
navy blue pea coat, or the pearls on the neck of Julia Child. Class, that’s what I say without
thought. So I
took metallic gold and silver rubber bands and my EZ Looper Rubber Band Tool and
started making bracelets. What I ended
up with was an elegant, stylish, and classy bracelet that isn't just for kids
anymore.
What you will need to make a classy bracelet:
- 1 Ez Looper tool with hook
- Silver colored rubber bands
- Gold colored rubber bands
- 2 Clear plastic bracelet clips
To start this bracelet mark your first peg above the logo on the tool with nail polish to indicate the start point, this is Peg A. You will be working clockwise; the pegs will be B, C, D, E, and F (you don’t have to mark the other pegs). Bring the first silver band from peg B over to Peg F by twisting in the middle. Do the second band in the same manner from Peg C over to Peg E.
Repeat the process above with another silver band on the same pegs without twisting.
Now take a gold band and bring around
all 4 pegs as shown. Using the special hook that comes with the EZ Looper, take
the bottom silver band over two and lift off of peg.
Work clockwise and repeat Step 3 on
all the pegs, returning to Peg A. The pattern is simple; add a band lift bottom
over two. Make 8 rows of silver then add a
gold band (not around all pegs just on the pegs A- F and C-E).
Finish by adding a gold band
around all four pegs and lifting bottom over two. Work down to a single layer
then lift band off of Peg B over to Peg C lift bottom over top band. Then do the same on the other side bring band
from F over to E. Lift these two bands
onto a clip. Use the hook to finish the
other side by simply slipping and pulling a band through one another until you
end up with two. Slip these onto the second clip.
Voila! An elegant and classy rubber band bracelet which will never
go out of style.
