  6. Repeat this process with the second band in the figure-eight.
  7. Place a fourth rubber band in a figure-eight shape on the next two pegs of the loom.
  8. Repeat steps 5 and 6 until you reach the desired length.

  10. Use the hook tool to grab the bottom band and pull it up and over the top band, leaving it on the peg.
  11. Carefully remove the bracelet from the loom and tie a knot with the two loose ends.
