loom bands

[abb123]

Does anyone else look at these and just think fancy mane plaiting bands??

House filled with them after visit from my 5 year old niece. May stick them in the lorry as emergency plaiting bands

 

[ribbons]

Yep, my thoughts exactly.

 

[Capriole]

Yup.

OH's GD is taking 'oss to camp tomorrow and said if she runs out of plaiting bands she will use her loom bands!

Colourful if nowt else...

My niece wanted to make me a bracelet. I said I wanted a trendy monochrome black and white one. Nothing to do with the fact that I own a grey and a bay horse and I was thinking what could I do with it when she had gone. Ended up with a pink, white and purple one ...

My dog is wearing loom band collar...

When I first saw loom bands I thought that they'd make wicked plaiting bands :') was a little confused as to why they were in Claire's Accessories tbh

I brought some blue ones to use as funky plaiting bands! When I went away in the horsebox last week I used my actual black and white plaiting bands to show my mum how to make a loom band! Both are multi purpose.

 

[caileag]

I would actually just like a box for myself. Would have loved loved loved these as a kid

I've heard they are more durable than plaiting bands too.... very tempted to get some black and white ones if they exist as they are extremely cheap!!

 

[Dumbo]

My mum is really into these loom bands!! She went to buy more today so I grabbed a pack of black ones for plaits!

 

[SaddleUpSin]

My friend has some in all different colours, I totally want to plait her youngster (Appy x Cob x NF - Mainly grey with browny/black spots) with all the colours of the rainbow :') He'd look FABULOUS

 

[horsesforcourses]

Hmmn......am i the only one who does not know what they are. Never even heard of them.

goesofftogoogleimmediately!

 

[Dustygirl]

You can get white ones that smell of coconut I discovered today!!

The joys of having a 6 yr old means I have made 2 new loom band bracelets today, an inverted fishtail and a tidal wave! Thank the good lord for you tube tutorials! !

 

[mil1212]

I have to say the 'loom bands' I have are not as durable as plaiting bands, they are 'silicony' and very stretch, so I have snapped a few trying to make plaits, cost wise I am not sure either, brought a bag for £1, I have a huge tub of plaiting bands that was £3. Plaiting bands are not really stretchy enough to go over my podgy fingers to make bracelets!

 

[Shantara]

When Ned is fit again, I'm getting some red, blue and purple ones

 

[Fools Motto]

Bloody things get everywhere. (kids!!)
Most saddened that I didn't think of 'plaiting band braclets' years ago. ££££££???

 

[foraday]

I am wearing 2 and the dogs have one each and the horses too are now proud owners of them dangling on their head collars!

I too wish I had come up with macramé plaiting bands!

 

[Tern]

Yes.. when the craze started and all my friends were obsessed I just commented on how they would make lovely plaiting bands and got disapproving looks.

 

[Feival]

Mine are both wearing loom band browbands my nieces made. I love them!! Abb123 wanting to use your nieces hard made bracelett as plaiting bands and not wear it s intended is just mean!

 

[tankgirl1]

I caught my son with a broken metal mane comb and my plaiting bands making bracelets,,,,,,, LOL!

 

[Casey76]

When I see them all I can think of is "don't they pinch your arm hairs?"

 

[OldNag]

Mine have been buying plaiting bands to use as loom bands to get "horse colours" !

 

[FubsyMog]

Me too! I have almost bought some to play with a couple of times now, but I'm almost 29 and fear it would not be becoming...

I know, I know. Mean aunty.

I did put up with the 'make over' that made me look like I had two black eyes and left me covered in sparkles for days though. I do also treasure all the drawings and arts and crafts stuff that she makes me. She is definitely an adored niece!

 

[happyclappy]

i wandered why the huge range of bright plaiting bands - then learnt about these look bands. i have also heard of the loss of fingers on a couple of toddlers. i was offered a bracelet by someone who found it too tight, but politely refused it

 

[Crazy Equestrian]

When the craze came to my school the first one I saw was a black and white bracelet and honestly thought someone had gone and gotten some plaiting bands! Was very surprised to see them in multi colours over the next couple of days!

 

[tallyho!]

I'm ONLY 34 and i found out what these were on 6th July. So I've known about them for ages.

I get it but puh'lease ladies and gents, keep it kid-side. I cant stand seeing a loom band on older people especially at work. It does make me respect my seniors much less as my manager seems to have half a dozen on each side... he has to see customers I think... then I see customers with and I just roll my eyes discreetly.

I'll just shut up now. And go away.
