Don't worry if the wooden clips on your new loom don't seem to be staying in place. If you purchased a loom in the spring of 2015 or later, you may have slightly different wooden clips than pictured in some of our instructions or promotional materials. You simply need to unscrew the white plastic screws slightly, turn the screws to the back of the clip and then tighten them. Click here to see a post covering this.

How to Switch Plastic Clips for Wooden Clips:

If your loom came with plastic clips and you want to switch to the newer wooden clips. This is how to install the new clips: Requires flat nose pliers to remove bushing from inside copper side bars so you can slip the clip on the loom will it will remain permanently. 

Separate the top and the bottom halves of the loom (simply slide the top part off of the bottom part). Use a pair of needle-nosed pliers to pull the metal sleeves out of the loom's copper sidebars. Remove the old clips (if there were already wooden clips on the loom). Slide the new wooden clips onto the copper sidebars. Replace the metal sleeves into the copper sidebars. Put the two halves of the loom back together.
