The Monster Tail rubber banding machine is the second most popular set from the American company Rainbow Loom. This is a mini version of the standard weaving fixture, which is convenient to take with you on the road.

The set includes:

• 600 elastic bands of various colors,
• clips,
• a plastic hook, not a metal one, as in a regular set,
• mini-machine for weaving simple bracelets.

There are many options for weaving on the Monster Tail machine made of elastic bands. Beyond bracelets of various shapes, it can be key chains, toys and various decorations. Consider several options for manufacturing products. It is worth remembering that when twisting the elastic with an eight, the direction should always be the same: from yourself or towards yourself.

Weaving from elastic bands on the Monster Tail machine: master class "Ice cream on a stick"

For example, let's try to create a small keychain in the form

For the figure you will need:

• 7 yellow stick rubber bands orange,
• 9 white rubber bands for a creamy layer,
• 34 elastic bands of the main color for the ice cream itself (for example, pink).

The process of creating a keychain begins with the design of the stick:

1. Open the Monster Tail weaving kit and prepare everything you need. We will weave the product on three columns of the upper row and 3 columns of the lower one.
2. First, let's make a stick on the two center posts. To do this, take an orange rubber band and place it on a column in the bottom row of the machine. Then we make a figure eight and put the bottom loop on the post. We repeat all the steps one more time. There should be an elastic band on the post, twisted in three turns.
3. Now we take two rubber bands: place them on top and stretch them onto the opposite column in the top row. They should be located one above the other, without twisting or intersecting with each other. Next, we will throw in two each time.
4. Then we crochet the elastic band twisted in three times from the column. It is more convenient to fold one or two loops.
5. We lower the elastic bands lower and take the next pair. We throw on two columns in the middle row and throw off the rubber bands that are in the lower layer, first on one side, then on the other.
6. Throw in two more elastic bands and remove the elastic bands of the lower layer.

Making a "creamy layer"

We continue weaving on the Monster Tail loom from the elastic bands of the Ice Cream keychain. We begin to make the "creamy layer".

The bulk of the ice cream

Weaving on the “Monster tail” loom from the elastic bands of the “Ice Cream” keychain enters the final stage - the creation of the main part. We put on elastic bands of the color that we have chosen for the product.

1. Pull one elastic band over three columns of the bottom row.
2. Then we put two elastic bands on all the columns: on the two right, left and in the middle.
3. After that, first we throw off the bottom pink rubber band from the posts, then all the white ones. We lower the elastic bands lower.
4. We repeat steps 1-3. We finish throwing off the rubber bands of the bottom layer. We do all the steps three more times. It remains to fasten all the rubber bands together.
5. At the final stage, we put elastic bands only on the outer columns. The rubber band, which we pull horizontally into three columns, is twisted in two turns.
6. We put on two rubber bands on the right and left.
7. We throw off the twisted horizontal elastic band and the bottom layer from the outer columns.
8. We fix the elastic bands by throwing them from the outer columns to the central one. Press with your finger on the elastic bands on the right column and transfer to the next one. We repeat the same with the left column. For convenience, you can stretch them by two columns and fold them off the extreme. We turn the machine and repeat all the steps starting from the left column.
9. We put one rubber band on two columns in the center. We throw off all the rubber bands under it, starting with the top two, then the middle two and, last of all, the bottom two. We turn the machine and repeat all actions.
10. We make a knot from the remaining loops. To do this, we throw the rubber band from the lower column to the upper one, turn the machine and throw off the lower elastic band. You will get a knot, you need to carefully tighten it, pulling the remaining elastic up. We remove the finished keychain from the post. Tighten the top again and straighten the product so that all the elastic bands are in place.

Flower from elastic bands for a bracelet

New ways of weaving bracelets on the round loom "Monster Tail" are constantly emerging. But you can, without using complex techniques, decorate the usual " fish tail"Or" sea serpent "with flowers made of rubber bands. For one flower, you will need rubber bands of three colors, for example, 8 red for the petals, 7 white for the middle and 2 green for the leaf. In this master class there will be no information about how the Monster Tail machine is used - only the process of making a bud.

How to weave a flower from rubber bands

Cooking necessary tools and materials: rubber bands, loom and hook. We will weave on 6 columns in the center.

Middle of the flower

We continue weaving on the loom "Monster tail" from the elastic bands of the flower:

How to finish a rubber band flower

1. At the next stage of weaving on the "Monster Tail" loom, we do not put on a new elastic band from the flower elastic bands, but throw off the bottom layer.
2. When there is one rubber band on each column, we reduce the number of used columns from 6 to 3. To do this, we connect the adjacent loops: from the right column of the lower row to the middle, from the left column of the lower row upward, from the right column of the upper row to the middle.
3. The last rubber band remains white- we throw it on three columns and throw off two rubber bands of the lower layer. We connect two adjacent loops on the lower posts by moving the right elastic to the left.
4. We take two green rubber bands and put them on two columns on top and throw off all the white rubber bands.

We remove the flower on the hook and straighten it, sipping it to the sides. You can decorate with them bracelets made of elastic bands or a ring, woven on the Monster Tail machine.

Weaving from silicone rubber bands is a new direction in needlework. It interested not only teenage girls, but also became a hobby of many housewives. Before weaving a figure out of colorful and bright elastic bands, you need to familiarize yourself with the scheme for performing the work. Products made in this technique are used as jewelry, key rings, souvenirs, phone cases.

The weaving process is performed different ways. The latest hit is a special machine. It is a small platform with several projections for putting elastic bands on them. The dimensions of these machines are different.

For beginners, small 8-column mini Monster Tail machines are suitable. To create complex volumetric figures, machines with a large number of protrusions are used.

There are also combined options. In these cases, several elements are interconnected and form a large structure.

In the absence of a machine, weave a figure using different colors rubber bands, in other ways:

• On your own fingers. In this case, you will get figures made according to the simplest schemes. For weaving, elastic bands of no more than 2 - 3 colors will be used.
• Plain table fork. Simple products are woven on its teeth. It will work great on it regular bracelet made of silicone rubber bands.

• Pencils. They are also successfully used for weaving simple products.
• Hook for elastic bands. With its help, even volumetric figures are created.
• Slingshot- one of the varieties of weaving machine. Consists of two columns connected to each other in the form of a semi-oval.

How to weave a figurine from rubber bands in various ways, the master classes presented below will tell you. Including imagination, the products are given original design... To do this, use accessories: beads, plastic rings and so on. You can also diversify the product by color combinations.

Master class for beginners

For those who took the elastic bands in their hands for the first time, a master class on the implementation of the "Spider" ring is presented to their attention. It is performed on two columns of the machine or a mini-slingshot using a hook. Black elastic bands are used.

Further actions are performed according to the instructions:

• One elastic band is thrown over the left column of the slingshot. The second - to the right, winding it in four turns. The third is worn in two turns on both columns.
• With a hook, the element created from four turns is removed from the right column and thrown into the middle of the machine so that it is on a double elastic band.
• Forms the legs of the spider. To do this, they take two elements, put them on top of each other, intertwine so that they connect with each other. In this way, one pair of legs is obtained. You will need three pairs of legs in total.
• The workpieces are put on one by one on the machine, each ring on a separate column. The knot is located in the middle of the slingshot, and the rings are lowered as far as possible. Then, an elastic band is put on two columns at the same time in two turns.
• With a hook, the first double element is removed from the right column and thrown into the middle of the slingshot. From the left - first a single ring, put on the very first, followed by a double loop.
• In the upper part of the slingshot, there are two double loops on each column and loops that play the role of spider legs. From the right side, the double loop is thrown to the left, and, in turn, from the left, it is removed to the middle. The elastic legs are cut exactly in half with scissors.
• Crochet the remaining double loop from the machine. It plays the role of a head. Gently tighten it as tightly as possible. A whole elastic band is put on the finger, and a spider is formed from the rest of the elements.

The result is a great Halloween accessory for kids.

Ice cream on the machine Monster Tail

The next master class presents the option of creating ice cream on a stick from silicone gum using the Monster Tail machine. It is necessary to prepare rings of three colors. Machine location: its point is on the left side. The process will be carried out using three columns at the top and bottom.

The work is done in this order:

• Form an ice cream stick. A ring of light brown color is thrown over the column in the front row, winding it in three turns. Then the pair is thrown over both columns at the same time.
• A triple element is crocheted and placed in the middle. There are a pair of elastic bands on the machine, with a triple rubber band located exactly in the center.
• Then the pair is thrown on again. Sequentially, from each column, double loops of the previous pair are dropped to the center of the work. The process is repeated several times.
• Then there is a layer. A white elastic band is thrown over the same columns, and brown ones are removed on it.
• In the top row of the machine, one white ring is put on three columns. In the lower one, on the extreme ones they put on one at a time in four turns. Further from the left and right side thrown one pair of white rings. The elements are removed with a crochet in four turns and the upper horizontal elastic band and placed in the middle.
• In the bottom row, a pink ring is thrown over three pegs. Three pairs of the same color are placed vertically. Crochet the pink ring and all the white loops. Further, the process is repeated with the blanks of a pink shade three more times. In the last circle, the middle remains empty, and the horizontal element is thrown in two turns.
• All loops are transferred to the central posts. Then they put on another elastic band and remove the remaining loops on it. Tighten the loop.

Eskimo ice cream is ready.

The American company Rainbow Loom produces a handy tool for making looms - Monster Tail. The model is small and suitable for taking with you on trips. The set includes a plastic hook, clips and 600 multi-colored lumi. In addition to simple figures, bracelets, key rings and cute toys can be weaved from rubber bands on the machine.

Ice cream keychain

Even those who have never dealt with rubber bands before will be able to weave a small two-color keychain. It is enough to repeat the steps described in the master class step by step. Quantity and colors rubber bands for crafts:

• 34 pink;
• 9 white;
• 7 yellow.

Stick and interlayer

The ice cream keychain will be on a stick, and it is with it that weaving from rubber bands on the Monster Tail machine begins. The machine consists of 3 upper, 2 central and 3 lower columns (protrusions). The stick is woven on 2 central elements. First, the orange elastic is placed over the ledge in the bottom row. They make a figure in the form of an eight (hereinafter, twist away from themselves), put the bottom loop on the column and twist it again, putting on another 1 loop. Now on the ledge there are 3 turns of the lumi rubber band.

On the same ledge, put on 2 more lumi, without twisting and placing strictly one above the other. Stretch, the second ends are put on the central element of the upper row.

Then the very first elastic band, twisted in 3 turns, is crocheted and removed, but not all at once, but 1 or 2 loops.

Two elastic bands are lowered lower and another 2 are thrown in. In the future, the elements are also put on in pairs, and they are located vertically. The orange elements that are at the bottom are thrown over the top ones, first on one side, then on the other, and thus they are thrown off the columns. They put on the next pair and repeat everything. So they weave for some time. Then they move on to the formation of the layer. Further weaving from rubber bands on the Monster Tail machine it happens like this:

Weaving the main part

The bulk of the ice cream is woven from pink elements. The first rubber band is thrown horizontally onto the bottom row. The next two are worn so that they surround all the protrusions. The lower pink element is raised and thrown off, then they do the same with the rest of the white ones. The elements remaining on the columns are shifted down. They continue to weave a figure from rubber bands on the Monster Tail loom:

The result is a keychain that looks like a product, crocheted, only with large loops. This is an original, durable and sturdy craft that, moreover, does not get dirty.

Bracelet decoration

Bracelets on the wall of "Monster Tail" can be woven in different ways, but many of them are difficult to master for a novice craftswoman.

There are two easy techniques called "sea serpent" and "fishtail".

• 2 green;
• 8 red;
• 7 white.

Formation of petals

The 6 central columns will be used to form the petals. First, throw a red elastic band over 2 protrusions in the top row and twist to make an eight. In the same way, you will need to twist the rest of the elastic bands. Further procedure:

• a red rubber band is put on 2 adjacent columns, the same is in the top row;
• the third is put on the third protrusion, and the second end is put on the opposite one in the bottom row;
• in the bottom row, repeat the same, sequentially putting on the elements;
• if everything is done correctly, you should get a circle;
• the next red elastic band is put on all 6 columns and lowered slightly down;
• put on another one in the same way, so that there is a distance between it and the previous one, otherwise the rows will get confused;
• all elements twisted by eights are crocheted.

Middle of the flower

The Monster Tail machine is also used to form the middle. First, 1 white rubber band is put on 6 columns of the upper and lower rows. Then they pull on the next white one. They continue to weave in this order:

The final stage

Now you do not need to sketch out the next rubber band, but you just need to remove the lower red ones from all the columns. As a result, 1 element should remain on all protrusions. Weaving continues on 3 columns. From the rightmost peg in the near row, the rubber bands are removed to the middle, from the left in the same row - up, from the upper right - to the middle.

The remaining white lumi is put on 3 columns and 2 lower rubber bands are removed from each. On the lower columns, adjacent loops are connected by moving one from the right to the left ledge. Now 2 pieces Green colour put on 2 elements in the top row, and all white ones are removed with a hook. Carefully remove the flower from all protrusions and stretch slightly in different directions to give shape. Now they can decorate a bracelet or other handicraft woven on the Monster Tail machine.

Heart pendant

A braided heart is a cute pendant that can be used in many ways, for example, as a keychain for your phone or keys, or as a pendant decoration. it suitable option gum crafts for beginners. In the process of weaving, there will be an understanding of how and with what the loops are obtained. In the future, it will be possible to make more complex gizmos, for example, Easter egg, owl, butterfly. To make a heart you will need the following:

• Monster Tail machine;
• small plastic or metal hook;
• orange or other rubber bands.

Beginning of work

Put 1 orange element on the hook and wind it 3 times to make 4 loops. Crochet the next elastic band and pull it through all the loops of the previous one. The result is a blank. It is removed from the hook, stretched and put on 2 side and 2 adjacent pegs. A hook is put under the twisted elastic band, the loops are hooked and put on the same columns. The next pair of loops is pulled out from under the twisted elastic band and thrown over 2 other pegs.

Now there are no rubber bands on the middle columns. Hook up a couple more looms and place them on the center pegs. Further actions:

The final stage

All subsequent actions are performed on the side columns. Averages are no longer needed. First, 2 elastic bands are put on each side peg, then the lower loops are removed. Farther act like this:

The rubber heart is ready. It can be decorated by attaching a ring with a chain to the outer loop, and used as a keychain or find another use.
