    How many rubber bands do you need?
    Linnie
    Top Answerer
    That depends on how long you want your bracelet to be. Fishtails typically take lots of bands, and making a double-band fishtail would double the amount of bands. Make sure to have more bands than you expect to use in case you end up need them.

    How do you make it on your hands?

    See the blue thing they put their rubber bands on? Replace that with your fingers. Follow the same instructions but using your fingers instead of the loom.
