What's the big deal about the Rainbow Loom?!

"What's the big deal about the Rainbow Loom?!" 

That's the question I asked myself until... I found one at a garage sale. Soon, I was scouring the internet for tutorials. (A good website for finding tutorials is LoomLove.com.) In my searches, I discovered that more than just bracelets can be made on a loom. Anything from watermelon charms and hand sanitizer cases to snakes and unicorns is possible on this astounding crafting device! My favorite bracelet that I've made so far is the circle stack bracelet. The only non bracelet things that I have made are the rattlesnake, and a pony. I like the snake best.

The inventor of the Rainbow Loom is Choon Ng. (You can see an article about the invention of the Rainbow Loom here.) Another good article is this one, by the mother of two loom-loving girls. If you've never tried making something with a Rainbow Loom, I highly recommend it.
