Hi, i'm back! It's been a while since my last article...I had gone through a 'down circle' recently with some health issues. But thank God that I'm healthy now...and ready to do more craft projects :)
Today i will be talking about loom bands craze and the creator!
They started out as a playground fad and now loom bands are weaving their spell all over the world.
Everyone from Kate Middleton to Harry Styles has been spotted wearing bracelets made from the colourful rubber bands lately.
But how did a tween craze become a must-have fashion accessory?

As of September 2013, it had sold over 1.2 million units, according to Ng, who has sued the makers of rival products FunLoom and Cra-Z-Loom for patent infringement.

What make this topic/loom band interesting to me? Yah, of course i'm curious about how to make a bracelet from rubber bands and it's a kind of new craft to me! But the most fascinating fact to me is that the creator of loom bands is Cheong Choon Ng, he was a Malaysian!!! Anak Malaysia..we are proud of you!
