Make a bracelet like this!
(For anyone who's curious, the other
wristbands are for Skillet and To Write
Love on Her Arms)

Hello everyone! Just in time for the holidays, I have an easy, inexpensive craft. I'm sure you've seen those rubber band bracelets people have been wearing lately. To make most of them you need to buy a special loom for, known as the Rainbow Loom. However, there is one kind of bracelet that can be made without the loom, known as the Fishtail Bracelet. You can make one using two nails stuck into a piece of wood, or even on your fingers! In this tutorial, I'll show you how to make a fishtail bracelet without using a loom.

For starters, unless you want to use your fingers, you're going to need to make something to weave your bracelet.



Materials
A piece of wood (mine's a scrap piece I found in the garage. Hopefully no one will miss it)
a hammer
Two nails
a ruler
a pencil

Step 1 - using the ruler, draw two dots one inch apart.

Step 2 - Hammer a nail into each mark.

Now you're ready to make a bracelet! Click the jump to find out how to do it.
