Loom Bands! How much have you spent on them so far?

I've seen packs of the bands for sale in the 99p shop. No idea how many are in them but might be worth a look.

I've spent around £5 and a friend made my son a loom (two dowels on a piece of wood). His friend today was selling them at the car boot sale and reckoned he could make ten £1 bands from a £1.50 pack of bands.

anyone buying a loom band bracelet for £1 is being ripped off - in the playground (if they haven't been banned yet) the going rate is between 20p and 50p per bracelet round here .

About £60 including the official rainbow loom kit; storage box, charms, beads, clips and every conceivable array of bands you can get. My daughter has made so many my DH bought a tube home from work which she's put her bracelets on and we call it the totem pole of loom.

The range sell bags of 300 for £1 and scented 600 for £1.50.

Just catching up on this! We have a bracelet totem pole too, made out of a kitchen roll tube

I'm glad to see the children of today having a craze - my childhood was packed full of them (scoobies, Pokemon (and the others) cards, yoyos), it's the things memories are made of!!

Just come across this thread.
I am very very old.
when I was much younger I had an old cotton reel with 4 nails stuck in it, some wool and a crochet hook. I think it was called French knitting.
This is not the same sort of thing with elastic bands is it?

My aunt in America sent the kit over for DD before the craze really kicked off here- she is abit to young to make them, I made her a couple but never really got into it myself (lack of time)


So £0 spent here and the stuff is just sitting in a box upstairs. Maybe I should make another effort since it's the school hols now.
