transcript: - [Voiceover] This is MBM (chime flourish) - Hi, this is Made By Mommy, and today I'm going to teach you how to make this adorable pencil charm
using a single Rainbow Loom and a bunch of rubber bands. For this design, in order to
repeat the pattern I've made, I use four black, seven silver, 12 white, 10 pink, and 21 yellow. The silver that I'm using
is from Rainbow Loom brand. They have come out with
some metallic bands. They're a little bit hard to locate. If you don't have the
silver a good substitute is grey or even black and I've also made pencils that came out really well using just yellow for the entire body. So, if you don't have all
the colors, be creative. I'm sure you'll come
up with a good design. My first encounter with a pencil charm came from gabybracelets on Instagram. I saw this adorable photo
as a part of her account and I contacted her to
ask her whether or not I could share her design. Now Gaby, being a responsible designer told me that while this
particular design was hers that she had gotten the
idea from somebody else. She had gotten the idea from Abigail. So Abigail Sikorski and her friend Anna had posted this video up on YouTube. I'll put the link below in the description so you can see how it started. She shows how to turn this pencil into a bracelet that
goes all the way around. My design is slightly different, but there's no question that the path of inspiration goes from Abigail and Anna to Gaby and then to me. So here is Made By Mommy's
version of the pencil charm. To begin with I want you to check that your loom is configured as mine is. I have the pegs adjusted
to be straight across. The arrow is actually up
here pointing downward. We're going to lay our
rubber bands this time from the top to the bottom so that it coincides with this chart that will be available for
download on MadeByMommy.com The first rubber band you need is a single black rubber band. Place that on the top center peg and pull to the middle. Next take two pink rubber bands at a time from the center, to the side. And again, two pink rubber bands from the left to the center. Now, we need to work two
more pink rubber bands. And think you can guess what comes next? Yes, two pink rubber bands. This is what's going to make
the center of our eraser. And to complete the eraser, two more pink rubber bands on the right side. Now we're gonna add on the silver band. Two at a time. On the left, middle, and right sides. Then, switch to your yellow color. Now, you see, I actually
made two different. This is the Rainbow Loom yellow. This is actually Rainbow
Loom's neon orange. I like it better for the pencils. So that's what I'm going
to use for this tutorial. Of course I've also
made purple pencils, so anything really goes. But we're gonna go
traditional for the demo. Two at a time again on the left, on the center, and on the right sides. So now we're ready to switch to white, unless you have a better
color than I could find to create that sort of
wood part of the pencil. So left, then center, and then right, two
rubber bands at a time. Two rubber bands at a time from center. And from the center on the diagonal. And then, to create your
pencil tip, two black. And we're ready to start
placing our cap bands. The first one, starting from the bottom is a single black rubber
band wrapped around this one peg four times. One, two, three, four. Now, you're gonna take a
single white rubber band and wrap it around these two, twice. The next one is going to
go across these three. Take your single white rubber band and pull it, twist it, and then fold it back
over those same three. Do the same thing for the
next row, but with yellow. We're ready to put the
silver cap band on here. The silver rubber bands that came, even from Rainbow Loom are less stretchy. If you're very worried
about breaking bands then use pink here instead of silver because the silver ones
are much more likely to break when you pull them like this. There we go. All of your rubber bands
are now on the loom and you're ready to begin hooking. Starting where that black band was wrapped around four times we're gonna reach in with our hook and pull back on those bands and bring those two black
rubber bands forward. Then, reach in and grab the
top two white rubber bands which will go up on your
diagonal to the right. Then go back in for the
two more white rubber bands that go forward to the center peg. Now, for hooking a band like this where you have rubber bands coming from two different angles, sometimes it's helpful to look at it from the side so that you can see exactly where each of those pairs is. 'Cuz you need to pull back that cap band and then catch just the two rubber bands that are on top and go forward. Then it's much simpler going back in to catch your two rubber bands
that go up on the diagonal. Then you can come back
here to the right side. Go inside that cap band and go forward again, that's what's gonna create your triangular pencil point. And now we're going to proceed forward straight up all three rows, just like you would do for
a triple single bracelet, making sure to catch just
two rubber bands at a time. And if, when you're going through this you realize you only
caught one, that's ok. Just put the one in place and come back and get the second one. Just make sure you do it
before you hook the next one. So here we go. Here's the body of the
pencil coming together. Center row. You just want to look
for all these V shapes because that's how you're gonna know this will stay together well
and you haven't missed any. So now we just have the
top of the pencil to do. I'm gonna go in from the left side and pull two bands to the center, and then repeat on the right side, hooking two bands and bringing
those to the center as well. Now there's a lot of rubber
bands on this one spot, so you may need to push
it down with your thumb to make sure nothing pops off. And now the only thing
we have left to do is to hook this loop that
will connect your charm to wherever it is you decide to put it. So, reaching way in to get just that black rubber band
that's on the bottom. Going up and around, and then, to make a slipknot to secure it take the rubber band that's
on the bottom on your hook, pull it through the center
of the top rubber band and pull tight. And now you're ready to take
your pencil off the loom. I always like to loosen these up a bit, especially these ones at the
bottom that are strained. I use the back of my hook. I find if you pull on any
one rubber band by itself too hard it's much more likely to snap. So, once you've got, sort
of the delicate point loose then you can loose it from this side. This one of course being
the biggest challenge 'cuz its got the most rubber bands. Then, once you've got a
solid piece to grip on you can just take your two hands, just sort of pull back and pop off your entire pencil from the loom. And a few tugs to organize, and you too will have
your very own pencil charm to be proud of and show
to off to your friends. I hope you enjoyed making a
