A few weeks ago I mentioned these nifty little Rubberband bracelets that are really popular with children.
My 6 year old has been making all sorts of fun bracelets and I thought I’d mention how we have organized her piles of rubberbands.
Apparently there are storage cases for Rainbow Looms at Learning Express stores for $15. I have not gone to look at them but I did find a nice solution at Michael’s for just $5.00.
When I bought our Rainbow Loom, my Michael’s store did not have any cases available but I took a look in the jewelry and beading aisles and I spotted a little case for $8.99.
The case comes with little compartments that you cut and slide in yourself to make the size dividers that you want. I will say these are not the best quality so we had to trim them to get them to fit. Once they did slide in, the box is pretty functional and certainly worth the $5 price.
This beading case worked perfectly for the Rainbow Loom that we have- the loom itself actually fits perfectly inside. I used a 40% off Michael’s coupon and the price was $5 and change.
This snaps closed and is small enough to tuck in a drawer or to tote around.
I have been pretty happy with this case and for the price, it really can’t be beat.
I used my Silhouette machine to adhere my daughter’s name to the top. You can embellish your case with paint, decoupage, or in the scrapbooking aisles there are lots of stickers and even sparkly letters similar to what I did.
You might also check the Back to School areas in your stores as they have cute little stickers meant to embellish school supplies and lockers that would be perfect.
You can read all about what supplies you need to make these cute little Rubber Band bracelets here. The entire kit with 600 rubber bands plus the nifty little case above will only set you back about $20.00. That is really not a bad deal considering how many bracelets you can make with your kit!
Hi there! I love this little box and that the loom fits into the case. I’ve seen this at our Michaels and thought of getting it. I have a question though, do the bands get mixed up in the case if it gets overturned? Thanks for the tip!
Kaleigh, in our box the little dividers touch the top of the lid so they don’t get jostled. You can always test the one in store to be sure by putting a dime in there and shaking it up and see where it is once you open it 🙂
Where do u get the real rainbow loom to make bracelets with
I found the same case (with blue dividers) at Walmart in the tackle / fishing department. It was $5 as well. You get the authentic “Rainbow Loom” at Michaels. You can get it on Amazon as well, but it’s more expensive.
The boxes Micheals sells as loom boxes do get mixed up if dropped or turned over. Ours became a mess after riding in a suitcase.
Dana,
The one I used which is pictured does not get mixed up. Since doing this post the Rainbow Loom has become very popular and you may have purchased another type of box. I think if I knew it would be jostled all around like in luggage, I would probably have put the rubber bands in Ziploc bags though. That is asking a lot of a box.
Hi,
I’ve been looking for a box to customize for my daughter and her friend’s birthday gift. Does this box from Michaels have a handle? I really think my girl needs a handle or she’ll drop it a lot.
Thanks!
Hi,
I’ve been looking for one of the rainboom loom case
were did you get it from.
Jose- mine was from Michael’s Craft Stores!
Which Michaels store did you go to? I couldn’t find it at my store. I wanted an adjustable box, not those bead organizers that have only 17 containers and is pre sized. Adjustable containers also allow me to put my loom inside it too. Pre sized storage containers can fit my rubber bands and my loom together. When I go on trips I want to be able to bring all my Rainbow Loom stuff in one box not multiple boxes. Can you post the address of the Michaels you went to? Thank you!
how do you put it together can u put in up where you explained it?
