How do you hold onto this to make a bracelet, and what is the size of this portable loom?

It is about 3 inches long and about an inch wide. You simply hold it in your non-dominant hand while you use your other hand to loop the bracelet. You can also sit it down on a surface while holding it with your non-dominant hand.

My daughter and a friend took turns holding the loom. The loom was about four or five inches long. My daughter is 13 .

it fits very easily in your hand so you don't need to rest it on a table and it's very lightweight, but sturdy.

This one will allow you make bracelets that are simple or complex. The larger loom just allows a different type of bracelet to be made.

What shape? - Square? Hex? Flat? Oval? Rectangle? - And what dimensional size? Can't answer without more info. If the dimensional size is not larger than about 1¼" I imagine that a tape wrap might help the clamp to grab.

It's all up to you, this kit is design to hold the clip buckle in place and can adjust to the measurement so that you have 2 hands to weave n braid the bracelet. So if you're not making a survival bracelet and are making one as a ornament then there's no need to use paracord. The newer version comes with a hook to hold other size buckle, you can just hook wat ever cord you have n just carry on with the pattern you intend to make. It should be ok, not necessarily to use paracord. Hope this help, have a great day.

I've found that generally whatever the loom size says, it's usually the outer diameter. I can't check at the moment what the actual outer diameter of the 1/2" loom is, but I'd recommend that you go 1 size higher. So for 1/2" loom, you would want to get 5/8" clamps.

Hi Donald, I've been sorta waiting for someone else to answer this one but since no one has... here is my take on it. I'd wrap it around a long nail or spike much the same way you would put it on a spool. My nail or wrap area would be no longer than ~5 3/4". I'd then tuck the cord into itself on one end and stuff it in my pouch, nail and all. Never hurts to have another tool around. ; - ) I have seen some videos on how to wrap cord in a way that holds it together well but also allows for quick and easy unraveling in an urgent situation. You may want to YouTube that as I'm not allowed to put outside links in this note. I hope someone gives you a better answer... but that's what I'd do since we don't have a better one yet. All the Best, Bill... TOUGH-GRID UPDATE: You're welcome Don! When you search YouTube, use the term "paracord deployment lanyard" I think you'll like the videos you find there. Bill... TOUGH-GRID

It will not work for that size loom. My daughter has that size also and she has to carry it around separate from the case. I agree with Barry.

I used my vise to hold it. The unit is designed for 10AWG wire or larger but will work on smaller gauge wire if you tighten up the unit some. I used plastic shim to hold the cutter/roller from wandering and it worked pretty well on 12 and 14 gauge solid wire.

You can get an adapter, usually I see wooden ones that the spool goes on giving a firmer grip on the machine. I would go for a bigger spool for a serger since these don't have a lot to them. Great for one or two projects per color and a lot of colors in the pack. I use them on my sewing machine without an adapter, just put it over the spool pin thread and go. They aren't high quality, so not good for projects requiring stronger thread... But good for personal and fun projects. I haven't had issues.

I got it for my daughter and it's quite large but I used a huge safety pin and pinned it to the smallest size I could.The width really helps get more control for transfers and such. It could probably be stitched smaller too. I justdon't have a working sewing machine at the moment.

no, these are meant for the bracelet loom and are comparatively smaller than a loop would be for a potholder loom

Sometimes it is easier if you can connect it and slip it over your hand. If your hand is too big for that then it can be a little more difficult. First I would make the bracelet (just to make sure that it is all bent and ready to go) then put the connector on one end. Use a flat surface to pin the bracelet against your wrist and use your other hand to curve the bracelet around your wrist and insert the end into the connector.

Its a rubber bracelet. It works, but the bracelet was too big for me. I have not had a chance to find someone to fix it to make it smaller.

Tough question to answer because it's really depends on your particular situation. I would strongly suggest looking at the maker's website, http://www.wristwidget.com/, as it should hopefully answer all of your questions.

Place bracelet in the slot. Line connecting pin up with the pin remover pin and screw the remover pin through the link pin. Note the arrow on the link for the correct direction to drive out the pin. I found that the device was way too light duty to work. Most jewelers will adjust the band for about $10, which I did, and it was worth it.

15 small, one med, one large. It works perfect for a rainbow loom, if that's what you need. Every thing fits perfectly, even the bracelet maker. Hope this helps. :)

Yes, you can hook several together to make them wider and/or longer. What you can't do is take any of the pegs out, to create some of the other bracelets seen (on YouTube, for example). I had originally purchased this for my daughter and she loves it, but she wanted to make a bracelet that required a few of the pegs to be removed but she couldn't since this one doesn't allow it. I ended up purchasing her the Rainbow loom and keeping this one, the Fun loom, for myself. If you don't have a desire to make any of the bracelets that require peg removal, this one is great!
