10 of the weirdest Loom Band creations.

The UK has not seen a craze like it since the Scoobies Pandemic of 2005: loom bands have taken over. In fact, since September last year, Rainbow Loom has sold a whopping 1.2 million units and this year the BBC even branded it “one of the most popular toys in the world”. 

Even Wills and Kate are in on it

So, we know the bracelets look cute, and the process is curiously addictive, but how far can you take these little coloured bands? Here’s our top 10 of the weirdest things that have come from Loom bands.

10. A Minion

Make your own personal legion of minions with just a few bands! Well…maybe more than a few.

9. Turtles

In fact, you can make a whole jungle’s worth of animals out of these things. It’s a little concerning how creative some people can get.

8. Headphones 

Any music fans? With a lot of time on their hands? And oodles of patience? Oodles and oodles.

7. A Ninja

Way too cute, and really – only 16 mins to make? Impressive.

6. Spiderman 

In fact, you can make a whole batch of super heroes: Batman, The Incredible Hulk, Iron Man – the list goes on.

5. Rainbow Dash

If anyone is a fan of the new My Little Pony series, Friendship is Magic, then you’ll recognise this cute little creation.

4. Snow White

Walt Disney would be proud (or downright bewildered).

3. The entire cast of ‘Frozen’

How does anyone have the patience for this?! Although loom-Olaf is totally adorable.

2. A dress

Okay, I think clothing is where we draw the line – especially when it requires 24, 000 loom bands. Bizarre – impressive, but bizarre.

And this one? 

It’s going for £170,100 on eBay. Yep.

1. A suit

American TV host, Jimmy Kimmel, sports a jacket, trouser and tie combo, composed entirely of loom bands. Around 10, 000 of the coloured loops were used in the making of this…uh, unusual outfit.
