YOUR FAVORITE MTV SHOWS ARE ON PARAMOUNT+

Miley Cyrus' Crafting Craze Is Giving Us '90s-Bracelet Nostalgia

The Miley Cyrus craft craze continues! We've seen her embrace face paint, art supplies on her feet, and DIY tees, so the next logical extension of her creativity was obviously jewelry. The "Wrecking Ball" singer uploaded some photos yesterday crafting with captions like "I like to lume it lume it" and "This is how we lume it."

But Miley is actually referring to "looming," aka the Rainbow Loom products created by Cheong Choon Ng in 2011. Each Rainbow Loom kit comes outfitted with a pegboard, a hooked tool, clips and a million tiny rubber bands that look like the type you'd pick up at the orthodontist. Miley's not the only one into the rainbow bracelet craze—Ellen DeGeneres made a custom pair of Rainbow Loom underwear for Jimmy Kimmel, who modeled a #SuitOfTheLoom on his own show later that night. There's a girl in England who made an entire dress out of the little rubber bands, and a Wall Street Journal trend piece covered the power-suited dads who accessorized with their bright children's bracelets. Sure, there are some haters, but the loom craze just made us feel really good, you know? So good, in fact, that it kind of made us miss our DIY childhood crafting days. So, we decided to revisit some of favorite bracelet trends from our youth. Here's our unofficial list of the best bracelets from the '90s.
