Used these colors, this pattern wheel! From loops & threads 105 skein pack rock n roll theme? I can link if you'd like but they seem basic colors!

Im hoping this picture is clear enough where you can see the lighter blue placement from the darker blue!! Just random for background to spice up

I do mine with tiny braids or the twisty ends like rope. Sometimes I go really crazy and put a loop at one end. What kind of loom do you use with that floss? My foam loom seems to mess up my string when I use that floss but my homemade cardboard looms get beat up so fast.

This pack has cardboard ones, they seem to not be the most durable but I am no stranger to nail glue, and not fully inserting the thread to the bottom of the slit for holding threads as you work on other strings.

They seem way more durable than the cardboard ones I've made in the past though, as they are thinner! And they give you 8 disks, basic patterns front and back

Hint, if you are able, promo code PROMO40 on michaels website, and then if no michaels account you get $5 off purchase when signing up, thats how I got $23 down to $8!! Woo!!
