Me and my Rainbow Loom

Loom Pencil Grips - alex from down under

It’s official!  I’m now part of the Rainbow Loom community!

Thanks to my good friend who gave me a loom set,  I’ve been hooked into it ever since! I like the way it uses your imagination to make jewelry and other stuff. I used to see my friends playing with it during lunchtimes and I thought it was something “too girly” so I never even imagined using it. Now that i have learned how to use it, I have realized that it is not only fun but educational too! I’ve only had my loom for a week and I’ve already made tons of bracelets. I’ve watched Youtube videos and learned some techniques from my friends.

Now, I have branched out and tried other design variations, too, until I came across the pencil grips!

The Rainbow Loom Pencil Grips

The Pencil grips are great because it’s really easy to make and not time consuming. No one else in my school was making them so I thought maybe it’s kinda unique.

The first pencil grip I made was, to me, the most successful. Woot! Woot! I liked it so much that I had to buy new loom bands from the Two Dollar Shop so that I can make some more!

Business Potential

Our school is currently being renovated, so we temporarily ride a bus to another school everyday. While on one of the bus rides, I decided to bring some pencil grips and show them to my friends.  One of my friends, whom I showed the pencil grips to, really liked them that she bought two pieces from me! Yippee!

Pet Shop“Don’t you have your own Loom?” I asked her.”Yes,” she answered back, “but I don’t make good quality ones like these!” 🙂

She inspired me to make more and sell some more.

Saving Up and Helping Out

I decided to sell and raise some funds so that I can raise enough money to buy what I have been dreaming for months now – a Lego Modular Pet Shop!

I hope you can help me save up by buying my beautiful pencil grips. I also sell other products and the price depends on the number of loom bands I use. Down below are the prices for the things I am selling. I guarantee you that I only sell my best products. 🙂

For every bracelet/pencil grip/key chain I sell, I donate 25c of the price to the Solomon Islands (via Unicef) to help with the flooding and earthquakes there.
