Creating your Cardboard Loom Bracelet can be an enjoyable and straightforward process. Here’s how to do it step-by-step:

1. Cut the Loom: Cut a rectangular piece of cardboard measuring about 6×2 inches.

2. Create Slots: Using the scissors, cut small vertical slits along the longer sides of the rectangle. Make them about 1 inch apart, leaving about half an inch at each end.

3. Secure the Loom: Turn your loom over and make sure the cuts can hold the yarn securely. You might want to secure the ends with tape or glue if needed.

4. Choose Your Yarn: Select the yarn or embroidery floss in colors you want to use for your bracelet. Cut lengths of each piece approximately 2-3 times longer than the finished bracelet.

5. Set Up the Base: Tie a knot with one end of your yarn to the first slot on the loom, leaving enough tail for a secure finish.

6. Weave the Yarn: Begin weaving by going under and over the threads in the slots, alternating the pattern for your desired look. Ensure you pull the yarn snugly but not too tight.

7. Finish the Bracelet: Once you reach the desired length, carefully remove the bracelet from the loom. Tie the ends securely with a knot, and trim any excess yarn. Add beads for decoration if you wish.
