To facilitate the weaving process, he came up with a special machine. And when Chong realized that a new type of creativity would be born, he decided to share it with the whole world. He called his creation Rainbow Loom, which means a rainbow machine for weaving.
Having received a patent, the inventor ordered the first batch of sets consisting of a machine, rubber, slingshot and a hook for weaving. No one in a hurry in a hurry in a hurry for the purchase of an incomprehensible toy. Chong showed resourcefulness and asked her daughters to remove video with master classes on weaving on its machine. After that, the master appreciated the new kind of needlework.

In addition to the tools created by Chong Chong NG - Machine, hooks and slingshots - Masters use non-standard things in weaving. So, we can weave:
- On the machine;

For the manufacture of a key fob, you will need:
- Rubber bands of red, black, white and orange colors;
- Hook.
Put on a white gum twisted in three turns on the hook. Thug through winding two white gum. Repeat the same action with orange rubber bands. On the hook should be two double loops of white and orange.
Through the orange loops, drag the twisted halve. Transfer one white loop so that it becomes the first on the hook. Two red rubber tested through all loops. Kuvuk bird is ready. Add one more red pair. Screw to the hook a white gum in four turns. In her middle, place a black gum twisted three times. Put on the hook white loops of the start of knitting and stretch a pair of white rubber over the extreme (white) loops. Two red couples alternately stretched through white loops. Enter the hook under the extreme red loops and hang them on the hook. Add two more red rows from the edge. The following two rubber bands need to be stretched through extreme hinges and through the hinges that form the eye of the bird.

Add a red pair to extreme loops. There are four double loops of red red on the hook. Carefully remove them from the tool and enter it on the other side. Repeat the weaving, starting with the addition of the eye. When on the hook there will remain six double loops of red, reset them on a pair of red rubber bands. The remaining loops stretch over each other and tighten the knot. Additionally stretch black gum over eyes and red under them. This will give the bird density. All nodules hide. Keychain is ready!

Machine and circuit equipment
The rainbow machine is a small plastic platform with spindlers fortified on it. These pins can be moved and rearrange. Inside each column there is a small excavation that facilitates the introduction of a hook under the gum. The principle of operation of the rainbow machine is the same as other tools. First, the hinges are thrown on the columns as it requires a certain scheme for weaving. And then, these loops are reset, forming a series of twisted rubberry. This tool allows various bracelets and figures.
To familiarize yourself with the work on the machine you can see this video.
This technique allows you to make bulk toys. It is very similar to crochet, only instead of threads used rubberry. First, the ring or chain of loops is recruited on the hook. Then, weaving continues in a circle. Owl, made in such a technique, is shown in the photo below.
