Well, everyone in my school has been going on about them for ages so last week, I picked up a pack of 300 from Poundland and I really like them! My favourite type is hexafish as it looks so cool! but I can only do singles ;-;

If you don't know what they are, try Google. You will get the answer much faster there.
There are lots of guides on YouTube so try there if you are looking to try them!
I got them from Poundland (UK version of Dollar Store I guess) but you can try craft stores or other discount stores of other names (Looking at you 99p shop!) But if you are lazy like me, EBay and Amazon are good places for them if you are looking for a specific colour.

If u wanna h8 go ahead m8 I couldn't care less. Just don't say anything to my school friends, they will probably rip you to pieces!
 
I get mine from amazon. I make the fishtail ones. I got into them after a friend told me about them and they're so much fun to make.
I actually made ?28 from selling them in school ahaha
 
I'm probably a little too old for that now but the kids where I live always wear them and I guess they are pretty cool.

There are like four stalls selling them in my playground and one of my friends has to make 500 to sell at a charity event before December. One of my friends made 5 pounds and bought herself lunch with it
 
Lots of people do them at school, I don't see the point of them tbh, but I know how to make them because of my bro and I make them for him to sell If I have nothing to do...
 
We're not meant to sell them at my school, in fact we're not meant to wear them at all, but it's all about making a living, you know?
I charge like ?1.10 per fishtail bracelet ahaha
 
I've just had some children in work ask for these. To me, when I was younger these are the equivalent to scoobies (refer to the image below) they're as big of a fad as they were. I don't know if it's because I've grown out of these things but they look like a waste of money! But that's my age talking. I think if I was younger then id love them. I'm not that old mind you, 20 but still that shows how fast you grow out of things really. I know my 15 year old sister liked them.

I did this in high school but with scoobies, 50p per one and they had to bring their own to me! Obviously this wasn't allowed but ahh, they'll never know!

A floor loom. I'm a fibre arts student so I do a lot of weaving ^^

Those bands are pretty cool though. If anything then as an introduction to the basic concepts of weaving!

I remember those things! My friend used to make those all the time and I remember she made one for me and I was so happy because I didn't know how to make them (most of the time I got my mum to make them for me)... ^^ I'm generally not too good with these things, hehe...

A girl in work was showing me her loom bracelets, then I tried to explain to her about these being my version back in the day and had to give up haha. Feeling old!!!! xD

Pre much this, they seem like the modern day scoobies.

I think they're cute, but I have better things to spend my time on, but improbably would have loved these if I was younger.
 
Another stupid craze for more idiot to ping rubber bands at me.

God i hate fads.
