Loom Bands - Minecraft

I am sure you have found out about two interesting crazes that are around at the moment.
They both seem to be growing in popularity every day.

1) Minecraft
2) Loom banding

If you haven't because of fear of it taking over and consuming your child/ children's lives.
Feel the fear and do it any way :)

Here are some cool things you can make on your loom, that are inspired by minecraft.
No I didn't come up with the ideas myself, sorry not that clever :)
But some other talented people have, and their tutorials are on YouTube.
All you need is a loom, a loom hook or a crochet hook, and the bands of the colours that you need to make them.

These are really easy to make and don't use a lot of bands.
The only challenge is finding the brown bands.

These are a bit more challenging, but if your child has made a lot of things on their loom, then they shouldn't find them too challenging.

The best part about making these, is they can play with them afterwards :)
Have fun making and playing with your creations :)
