Gum fish body

We continue the master class on how to weave a fish out of rubber bands on the Monster Tail machine.

We begin to create the body of the figure:

1. Throw 2 rubber bands on top, discard the lower layers. There should be 2 loops on both sides. Lower the gum as low as possible.
2. Throw 6 elastic bands in pairs, making sure that they do not twist and sit on the posts exactly, one above the other.
3. We grab the 2 lowest rubber bands and drop them from the posts.
4. Throw 2 top gum onto the column on the left side, 2 from the next layer - to the right. Turn the machine over and repeat all the steps on the other side. Each column should have 2 layers of rubber bands.
5. Take 1 yellow rubber band and throw it horizontally on 3 columns of the bottom row, pull and rotate the figure eight. Throw back on these 3 columns. This gum will connect all the loops, then there will be no holes on the body of the fish.

Fins for fish

If you want to make fish fins, you can take a pair of rubber bands of a different color and throw them on two columns in the center. Throw 2 yellow rubber bands on the extreme posts.

1. Using the hook, first discard the horizontal rubber twisted in two turns, and then all the rubber bands of the lower layer.
2. Throw the elastic back horizontally onto the 3 columns of the front row, but do not turn it over.
3. We continue to make fins, throwing a pair of blue elastic bands in the center.
4. On the extreme columns we again place 2 yellow elastic bands. Discard the horizontal eraser first, then all the loops of the bottom layer. Repeat twice, placing the yellow rubber bands in the center in the second stage.

Making the fish eye

For the eye, take 2 black elastic bands: throw the first one on the central column of the bottom row, twisting it 3 times. We do the same on the opposite column.

We continue to weave a fish:

1. Throw 1 yellow rubber on 3 columns of the bottom row. Then - 2 elastic bands for all columns in pairs, as they did before.
2. Discard the horizontal eraser first, then all the yellow ones below. Black is not touching.
3. Now you need to throw off the black rubber bands. Grab 2 loops and remove them. Throw the elastic again horizontally on 3 columns, twisting it with an eight. Throw one elastic band on each pair of columns.
4. Discard the horizontal rubber band, then all the rubber bands of the lower layer.
5. It remains to connect all the rubber bands, throwing all the loops from the extreme columns to the central ones. Start with the right column in the front row, then - drag the elastic on the opposite column to the center. Repeat on the other side.
6. Throw the rubber band on the two central columns, discard all the rubber bands from the bottom layer.
7. It remains to make a nodule by throwing the rubber band from the column of the top row down, and discard the bottom.
8. Remove the gum from the machine with a hook. Sip it, tightening the loop.

The fish is ready! Now you know several ways how to weave a fish from gum on a machine tool or slingshot. Creating this figure is very simple, because you can quickly make a lot of key rings or pendants and present them to friends.
