Step 3. The following rings are put on the slingshot without twisting. During the work, all the elastic bands should be fastened in the order of the alternating colors.
Step 4. You need to make a "loop" for the fastener. To do this, the "eight" with the help of a hook pounces on the two following elastics from one and the second bar of the slingshot.
Step 6. You need to put on another rubber band. It is necessary to hook the crochet and throw the middle elastic on the left to the upper elastic band. Agree, these are quite simple actions.
Then the lower right rubber band should be hooked and again thrown on the upper rubber band. Of course, this is a painstaking job, but in the end you will get an unusual decoration.
Put on a new rubber band in black. In the finished work, half of the bracelet will be orange, and half - black. Nevertheless, the product will be in harmony with clothes of any color.

If at the beginning of step 6 the sequence orange - black - orange was the same for both sides of the slingshot, then at the end of the step the sequence on the left will be orange - orange - black, and right: black - orange - black. Therefore, step 7 is worth starting at the right side of the slingshot with the central orange gum and finish the bottom orange on the left.
The "final" step. Braiding the bracelet with a second "loop" to fasten the fastener. To do this, the extreme rubber should be thrown on one side of the slingshot.
