Abstract
A Brunnian link is a link formed from a closed loop doubled over itself to capture another closed loop to form a chain. Elastic bands can be utilized to form such links in a desired manner. The example loom provides a device for holding elastic bands in place to enable the creation of a Brunnian linked article.
