Handmade jewelry is valued much higher than purchased ones, as it helps to complement the image in an original way and harmoniously combines with any clothes. Rainbow bracelets from Rainbow Loom have gained particular popularity today, which can be woven not only by adults, but also by small children. In addition to rubber bracelets, you can make an original ring. In this article, you will learn how to weave a ring of Rainbow Loom rubber bands on a loom and on a slingshot.
To weave a beautiful ringlet with your own hands, you will need a professional three-row loom. Take 5 rubber bands and put them on the columns of the middle row (one rubber band connects two columns). After that, another rubber band is put on so that it captures not two, but three columns. From the edge of the last rubber band, count the third column and put two more elastic bands perpendicularly on the nearby ones. Put on more elastic bands to make a square around the last elastic band. Put on five more rubber bands from the square to the left, which will capture two adjacent columns.

Start weaving on the right side. Crochet the bottom elastic band and throw it over the column. Do this not only to the square, but also along it. Now release one middle column in the square. Throw the bottom elastic bands around the perimeter over the posts and go to five elastic bands on the left side. Now you need to put a hook on the extreme elastic band. After that, you can completely remove all the rubber bands from the machine. The ring is ready!
You can easily weave this ring on a slingshot. First, take one rubber band and wind it around one end of the slingshot, turning it over three times. After that, take two elastic bands and pull them over the posts. It turned out that there are a lot of rubber bands on one slingshot, hook the lower one with a hook and throw it over the column. Throw the remaining gum to the other end of the slingshot. Again, wind the rubber band around the free end three times, pry off the bottom one and throw it over the slingshot column. The remaining gum is thrown to the other end of the slingshot. In total, you need to do this five times.

Having prepared all the materials, we get to work. We take a machine in the form of a slingshot, put on one blue elastic band on the right side, and wind it 3 times (in the form of a spiral).
Then we put on 2 raspberry elastic bands on two sides. With the help of a hook, we make a flip of a blue twisted elastic band so that it is in the middle of two raspberry elastic bands.
As soon as we have transferred the blue elastic band, we remove the raspberry elastic band from one end and transfer it with a hook to the other side and lower this loop down the loom so that several more such loops can fit on one side. We make 4 more such loops.
When all the petals of our flower are ready, we put 1 raspberry gum on the machine and throw all the loops in turn to the middle of the typed gum.
Having removed all the loops on the typed elastic, we straighten our future petals.
We collect another raspberry gum on the machine and put on it the previous loop of raspberry gum, on which the petals are located.
We remove a loop of raspberry gum from one side and collect it on the other side of the machine.
The loop that is below, with the help of a hook, is thrown over the just thrown one.
The ring is almost ready, it remains only to make a loop, which will be worn on the finger. To do this, insert a hook into the middle of the flower and pull the remaining loop through the center.

What rings can be made from rubber bands? They allow you to make a variety of jewelry elements for boys, girls, using ordinary or difficult schemes of various types.
How to weave a ring on a slingshot from rubber bands with your own hands
It is most convenient to make a ring from rubber bands on a slingshot. This tool is made for weaving jewelry and is more favorable to use than an ordinary fork.
On a slingshot, a ring is made according to the same principle as on fingers or a fork. Put an elastic band on the slingshot, folding it into a figure eight, and throw 1 more elastic band on top without twisting it. After that, remove, using a hook, the right and left loops of the figure eight so that it is tightened on the upper elastic band.
Then put 1 more rubber on the slingshot without twisting and remove the bottom one using a hook. A special knot will be tightened on the proper elastic band again, and we will continue to make a ring from elastic bands until we get the right length. Then the ring is removed from the slingshot and tightened with the support of another elastic band.
We make a stylish ring "Spider"
And it is also possible to weave a “Spider” ring on a slingshot, for which we need dark rubber bands. In order to weave this extraordinary ring, you need to put on 1 elastic band on the left lobe of the slingshot, and screw the second one on the right 4 times. Then we take 1 more elastic band, put it on the left pin of the slingshot, twist it twice and put it on the right side.
When you create a rubber band ring, the key rule is not to make a mistake with the number of turns. If you add too much or, on the contrary, twist the elastic one time less, the accessory may not turn out so beautiful.
Finally, when the elastic is twisted into a double figure eight, it is necessary, with the support of the hook, to move the elastic on it, which is planted on the right side of the slingshot.
Next, leave the slingshot with weaving and take 2 more elastic bands. They should not be completely laid on top of each other, and in the gap that appears between them, push the edge of the right gum. In this way, you need to weave 3 more pairs of elastic bands - in total you will have 4 pairs of spider legs.
Further, the weaving of a ring of black rubber bands will continue on a slingshot. All 3 pairs of legs must be thrown onto the horns of the slingshot and lowered down. Then we put another elastic band on top, twisting it with a figure eight. After that, two pieces of the lower gum and the gum that was planted on the left side of the slingshot should be thrown onto it. Then, from the same side, we catch 2 more rows of elastic bands and transfer them to the middle.
Weaving such a difficult ring is complicated by the fact that we transfer part of the rubber bands from the right column to the left. We unfold the slingshot and raise the lower elastic bands up on the hook. As a result of all these manipulations on the right and left columns, you should have 3 rows of elastic bands each. These rows must be cut with sharpened scissors. Here is a ring that can be made without a machine.
Weave a bow ring with a description of the step-by-step work scheme
To make a bow ring, you need to prepare 30 rubber bands. The state of the machine is shifted 1 row down. Fasten the scarlet irises on the left and right on the 2-3 and 3-4 columns on the machine, throw them into the middle from the second ones. Throw left and right from the middle. Repeat these effects, moving up, 2 times. Do not forget that you need to omit the weaving. On the very last pins, add 3 turns of wrap.
Then turn the machine over and proceed to weaving. On the left, remove the lower loops - first to the right, and then up (reflect for the right side). Then remove from the middle to the left side and to the right. Then repeat in a similar way for similar pegs, i.e. pull the loops the way you put on the irises. On the very first pegs, remove the lower loops, tighten the knots. Remove the system from the machine. Slightly long protruding loops mask from the inside of the bow using a hook. Take a double rubber band and drag it through the middle of the bow in a certain number of turns.
Next, you need to start preparing the ringlet. On 2 rows of the loom, fasten 7 elastic bands in a zigzag, then weave 4 loops, put the hook into the base bow, fix it on the zigzag, then weave the others. Put the plastic S-clasp on the last elastic band, pull off the product, and then connect the ends of the ring together.

A beautiful flower on the fingers always looks beautiful even if it is woven from rubber bands. If the passion for weaving is relevant for you, then such an ornament is definitely worth weaving. Moreover, you can decorate them not only with a pen, but with any other things that you can put an elastic band on, for example, a simple pencil or a hair hoop. You can also wind such a flower on a simple hairpin and you will get a completely different bright hairpin. So, let's weave.
Prepare rubber band rings for weaving:
- bright, beautiful rubber bands, for example, pink - 30 pcs.;
- rubber bands in a contrasting color for the middle, for example, purple - 3 pcs.;
- a slingshot for weaving or a pair of pencils;
- hook for dropping loops.
How to weave a rubber band ring?
Hold the slingshot machine so that the open parts of the pins look at you (this is done in order to make it convenient to grab the rubber bands with a hook).
Wind the first rubber band (pink in this case) three times on the right column. Then throw a pair on both pins.
Throw off the bottom three turns from the column and put on another pair in the usual way.
Send the previous elastic bands from both parts of the slingshot to the middle of the weave.
Transfer the rubber bands from the right side to the left and lower to the very bottom. The first petal is ready. For our flower, we need to make 5 more of these petals (there should be six petals in total).
Don't move the last petal.
Put one purple rubber band on both bollards
and send all the prepared petals to this rubber band.
Now flip the purple rubber band from the right to the left pin.
Lower the bottom of the purple ones from the column, and for the remaining loop, remove the flower from the slingshot. Pull the loop tight enough.
And now make the middle of the flower in the following way. Throw the remaining loop between the petals so that three of them remain on the left side, and the other three on the right side of it.
Take the second purple, putting it on the index and thumb, and also throw it between the petals (between which there is no purple gum). Then twist the elastic and throw it between the remaining free petals.
On the reverse side, where the rubber band was twisted, insert a hook under it and put on another purple one.
Pull through and put the second side on the hook.
Pull the left side of the elastic through the right to make a loop. Tighten carefully, it is with the help of this rubber band that the ring will be put on.
The ring is ready, you can try it on!

Consider in detail the manufacture of the ring in this technique. Thanks to step-by-step photos and descriptions, creating an ornament will not take much time.
For weaving, you will need elastic bands of yellow (12 pieces) and red (5 pieces) colors, a hook and a slingshot.
On the right horn you need to put on a red rubber band, wrap it three times.
Now we put two yellow rubber bands on both horns.
We grab all the loops of the red elastic band with a hook, remove them and place them in the middle of the yellow rubber bands.
We grab the yellow rubber bands on the right horn and transfer them from to the left horn.
There will be five such elements. We lower the first element down and do the rest according to the same principle.
Now we put two yellow elastic bands on both horns
Then, one by one, we grab the elements with a hook and place them on these yellow rubber bands.
We grab the elastic on the right horn and transfer it to the left.
Now we grab the bottom rubber band and remove it from the horn.
We insert a hook into the remaining elastic band and remove it from the horn and tighten it so that all the elements are well connected.
We put a hook in the middle of the resulting flower, grab the rubber band and pull it out. Thus we get the leg of the ring.
It turns out a beautiful ring with a flower. You can use a different combination of colors, and the ring will look different.
