Nice colorful book.

I like the book. It's beautiful and colourful. I was concerned when I ordered it because the cover says the designs included will be for the Rainbow Loom, Cra-Z-Loom and FunLoom. Since we only have the Rainbow Loom I was concerned that we would only be able to use 1/3 of the patterns in this book. But I was glad that all the designs were featured on Rainbow Loom. The picture of the other looms is only shown at the beginning of the book, but all the step-by-step photos are shown on the rainbow loom. The book shows how to make the following designs: Basic Bracelet, Fishtail Bracelet, Triple Fun Bracelet, Toggle Bracelet, Zipper Bracelet, Flower Charm, Hand and foot accessories (I'm not crazy about leg chains), a starburst bracelet, dangling earrings and a hippie belt. The book is great because it gives you some ideas for choosing colors for different projects. They try to show you step by step. but my 10 year old has a hard time using this book. She is currently learning how to make bracelets on the Rainbow Loom so most of the designs are new to her. It's a bit difficult for her to follow the book to make a bracelet style that she has never done before. She was upset. I think if I studied the instructions with her we could probably figure it out together. But I didn't have time to sit down and read the instructions in the book. Instead we went to Rainbow Loom's website and now she watches videos there. These are great videos because they show you step by step and walk you through each step. from start to finish. Again, the book is good for giving you some ideas or when you're on the go and away from your computer. But watching videos online is a lot easier, at least for my daughter. There is a video of making 51 bracelets on the Rainbow Loom website. Don't forget to bookmark this page and use it to learn how to make different types of bracelets. [.] from start to finish.
