Loom Tubes

Has anyone ever used a loom tube? I'd love to hear what you think. They
look like a great way to make amulets.

What I'm wondering about is the bracelet loom.

loom, but shows the others)

What is the point of the bracelet tube loom unless you just don't have a
loom? The tubes are so you don't end up with all the cut threads, but with
a strip bracelet, you're going to end up with the threads, so it's not any
different than a regular loom.

Oh, and another reason I was thinking about the tube looms is because I
could get hubby to make them for me, for the kids. I think you could just
cut some PVC pipe in half, and sand it, and that would be really CHEAP!

I thought the same thing when I saw them in the link. The pics there
kind of suck; I want to see it bigger!

I may play with some PVC and try it. This would be a really easy way to
make them for my kids.
