Project Ideas: Loom Band Blocks.

I think it is well documented that we are Loom Band Crazy here at Crafts Direct! We have been having so much fun creating bracelets, coming up with new designs, and sharing how to make them with everyone we can.

One of the pieces we sell here at the store to help in the process of creating bracelets are our Loom Band Blocks. And we wouldn't be Crafts Direct if we didn't want to get crafty with decorating the wood blocks too.

Below you can find the project ideas we have come up with. We also have supply lists for each of the projects posted on our website, which you can find HERE.

WIN IT WEDNESDAY!

We are so excited to announce a fun new weekly feature on our Facebook Page, called -----WIN IT WEDNESDAY!

Here is how it is going to work - every Wednesday we will be posting a product (or maybe a couple of products) that YOU can win by doing three simple things - LIKE, COMMENT and SHARE.

From the group of people that complete all three items we will select a winner at noon on Thursday of each week (and post that winner on our page).

This week's Win It Wednesday prize - is actually three items to help get you started (or maybe further your collection) of Loom Band Bracelets! The prize includes a Loom Band Jig, an assorted pack of 500 Loom Bands, and a package of three Loom Charms.

So let's start this week off with a bang - go to our Facebook Page and LIKE, COMMENT and SHARE the Win It Wednesday post to get yourself in the running to WIN!
