Loom Magic Charms! - Becky Thomas
T-Rex
For the fiercest of loom projects, meet the T-Rex! This Tyrannosaurus looks just like the real thing, but luckily for you, we are not in the Cretaceous Period and he is not made of sharp claws and teeth. This project has a lot of steps for his many different body parts, so just be careful to follow all of the steps in order.
Difficulty level: Hard
You need:
1 loom • 2 hooks • dark green bands • red bands • white bands • black bands
Set up your loom offset so that the center column is one peg farther from you.
1. First you will make the T-Rex’s mouth. For the top jaw, lay out the figure shown using green double bands. Attach a cap band at the bottom center peg.
2. Using single bands that have been doubled,
or wrapped once on themselves, lay out two triangular holding bands. To make his nostrils, wrap two separate single bands around your hook several times. Slide both of them onto another single green band and attach this to your loom at the fourth outside pegs.
3. For the teeth, you will attach a single band to the loom, wrapping it in a figure eight.
4. Using your hook, take the bottom band on one side and loop it over the peg to the center of the band. Do this again on the opposite side.
5. Your teeth should look like little knots. Repeat this process eleven more times for a total of twelve teeth.
6. Attach the teeth to the second, third, and fourth pegs on the left and right sides of the figure. Starting from the cap band at the bottom, loop the jaw back to the top of the loom. Before removing from the loom, secure the top three bands temporarily on a holding hook or with c-clips. Set aside.
7. For the bottom part of the jaw, attach green double bands to your loom in the figure shown. Note that the diagonal bands have been attached after the band between pegs 1 and 2 in the outside columns, but before the outside bands from pegs 2 to 3. Fill in the center column last and finish with a cap band.
8. Attach three single holding bands to the project. These bands will be doubled,
meaning that they have been wrapped once on themselves so they are tight. Add the remaining teeth to the second, third, and fourth pegs in the left and right columns.
9. Starting from the cap band, carefully loop the bands back to the pegs where they started. Like the top part of the jaw, secure the top of the project with a holding hook or c-clips, remove from the loom, and set aside.
10. For the legs, attach green double bands to the loom for seven rows. Note the fifth and sixth bands have been doubled
to make them tight. Attach a cap band to the bottom peg. Add two bands just before the top of the center column—this will help make the thigh look bigger.
11. Before looping the legs back, you will need to make the T-Rex’s claws by creating tiny single chains. Wrap a white band around your hook several times.
12. Slide the white band onto a green band that has been doubled
or wrapped once on itself to make it tight. Add two more of these green bands until you have small claws.
13. You will need to create three claws for each foot and arm, for a total of twelve claws.
14. Attach three of the claws to the bottom of the leg. Attach a doubled
holding band between the third peg in the center column and the second peg in the right-hand column. Begin looping the bands back to the pegs where they started. After you’ve reached the fourth peg from the top, loop the band diagonally to the bands in the center column. Finish looping the center column, and then return to finish looping the right-hand column. Secure both of these top loops with a holding hook or a c-clip and set aside. Make two legs.
15. For the T-Rex’s short arms, create a single chain using three bands. The first band will be a double band, and the second two will be single bands that have been doubled
so they are tight. Attach the three claws to the bottom peg and add a cap band.
16. Starting from the cap band, loop the bands in the arm back to where they started. Secure the arm on a holding hook or with a c-clip and set aside. Make two arms total.
17. For the tail, lay out the figure shown using green single bands on the outside columns and double bands on the inside column. Attach the bands in the center column first, followed by the outside columns. Note that the diagonal bands stretch an extra peg-length. Finish the end of the tail with a cap
