Double Bands

This whole charm will use double bands unless directed differently. The thing about this charm is that it's an iPhone 5c, so you can use any color for the border. So, take double of your border bands and put them on your loom. Do as shown.

The Center

Have you ever wanted to make your own app? Well now you can! Take a single band and wrap it around your hook 3 times, creating 4 loops. Then slide it onto a single band that is the color of your background. I chose clear bands for my background, but of you don't have clear bands, use whatever kind of bands you want. Make as many or as little apps as you would like. I also suggest using two-toned bands, because they look really cool!

Adding the App

Place a single band that is the color of your background as shown. Then place the app on top of it, also shown.

Fill It Up

Place double bands of your border color as shown.

Repeat

Create a slip knot at the top of the right side and the center as shown.

Remove

14, 9:41 AM.jpg
Push down all of the bands on the leftmost side. Then carefully removed ONLY the right and center bands. Keep the unloomed bands on the left side down!

Rearrange

14, 9:41 AM.jpg
14, 9:41 AM.jpg
This is the tricky part. Carefully take apart your loom, rearranging it so that the side that used to be on the left is on the right, and the center and what used to be the right are not in their places. You can also look at the picture for detail. If you have two movable looms, then connect those and continue.

Repeat

14, 9:41 AM.jpg
14, 9:41 AM.jpg
14, 9:41 AM.jpg
14, 9:41 AM.jpg
Place bands as you did before, with your background color and apps and the border color. Loom at the picture for detail.

Loom It

14, 9:41 AM.jpg
14, 9:41 AM.jpg
14, 9:41 AM.jpg
Loom the rightmost side and the center, once again leaving the leftmost side unloomed.

Slip Knots Again

14, 9:41 AM.jpg
Create slip knot me again, just as before.

Rearrange Again

14, 9:41 AM.jpg
Rearrange your loom again as before, unless you have two moveable looms.

Border

Double a single border color band, placing it on your loom as shown. Repeat once more. Then double a single background color and place on your loom as shown. Follow the pictures for detail.

Loom

14, 9:41 AM.jpg
14, 9:41 AM.jpg
14, 9:41 AM.jpg
Loom bother the rightmost side and the center.

Slip Knots

14, 9:41 AM.jpg
Make two more slip knots.

A... What Is This?

14, 9:41 AM.jpg
When you take your phone off of the loom, it will look like some sort of rainbow wheel. Pulling and teasing is what gets it that rectangle shape.

Hiding the Slip Knits

14, 9:41 AM.jpg

Once your phone is straight, it will look messy because of the slip knots. To hide them, go to the back of the phone and put your hook through a random spot and grab the slip knot, pulling it through the random spot.

Start Playing!
