Step 1
To begin, fold a green rubber band over the hook so it is doubled.
Step 2
Attach an S-clip to the middle of the band.
Step 3
The band will now sit securely on the hook without having to be held steady.
Step 4
Next, take an orange band and loop it over the hook.
Step 5
Twist the orange band slightly to prevent it coming off the hook.
Step 6
Slide it through the green band, keeping hold of the other end with your finger and thumb.
Step 7
Pull up the other end of the orange band to meet the hook.
Step 8
Place the left loop of the orange band over the hook.
Step 9
Now loop a hot pink band with the hook and pull it through the orange band, as before.
Step 10
Continue looping with your chosen colour scheme until the design is the correct length.
Step 11
Transfer the two loops on the hook carefully onto the other side of the S-clip.
Step 12
The looped design is now complete and secured by the clip.
