Alex loop n loom potholder loops melt!

They make pretty potholders and are easy to use. Colors are nice...

Just don't use them as potholders because they will melt, leaving colorful plastic residue sticking to your pots and pans! They will stick to themselves (when melting) and burn.

Use wool or cotton loops.

These are great for the bottle cap necklaces. Just loop a washer onto it and glue magnet on back of decorated bottle caps.

Great developmental activity for kids; Bright colors; Does melt a bit when hot items placed on them so, not really a functional "pot holder".

Ordered these for my kids to make bottle cap necklaces. Yes they stretch over your head. After I ordered them I found a Rose Arts loom with the same loops (120) for $5 at Michaels. These work fine, but they make for expensive potholders at over $.10 a loop from Alex. The nylon ones are definitely easier to use (cotton ones will not work for bottle cap necklaces since they do not stretch enough and come in random sizes.) but shop around for the nylon ones and see if you can find them in a kit in the kids craft department in some of the big stores.

I gave a loom and these refiles to my neighbors grandchild. I used them when I was a child (I'm in my 60's) and it was a big hit. A tried and true activity for those who like to make things. Helps develop good hand eye coordination (which leads to better attention span and ability to read and right).

Weaving potholders is an "ancient" (well, considering that I did this very thing back in the 1940's) handicraft that kids still do and grandmas can help with, as they spend some quality time with a young grandchild helping them make a gift for Mom. This assortment of loops was perfect for the project.

I bought these for my little sister who seems to like making potholders. My mom had bought her a kit awhile back, but she ran out of the loops needed to make the holders in the first place. So, i bought these! They're durable, and pretty stretchy!

Great product and purchase. Do not buy the cheaper imitation bands. They break easily. These are great bands- never break and make good looking pot holders.

Don't know what everyone else is talking about but I have never had the potholders melt. I have taken pans out of the oven with them and placed them underneath on the table. I have even washed them. The only thing is you have to make sure you have two for the table or two to take the pans out or it is a problem. They are on the small side. The loops came with the loom I haven't bought refills for it yet.

If you want an educational and fun activity,it's a great one. The directions on my kit warned about the whole melting thing, so I guess we were lucky! If you are gulping at the price ... go ahead and do it. They are hard to find, at least in my Walmart, Target, A.C.Moore... ( you get the idea)The "cheap" brands don't stretch or fit. I had one disappointed little girl when we tried the bargain ones and the ONLY reason I even tried them was it was all I could find. I like the Alex loom better too!
