Create a Rubber Band Bracelet

Get creative with an ordinary item of stationery – find a wide rubber band and turn it into a bracelet.

Steps

Get the appropriate size rubber band. Find a very large rubber band, but make sure it will fit your wrist. If you do not have any available in the house, then buy some the next time you or your parents go shopping.
Color it. Use a light colored permanent marker and color the rubber band. Use a light color because you are going to use other colors on top, to decorate it. This can be a little messy, so do this on a paper towel, or on a work surface where stains are not a problem.
Decorate it. Decorate it any way you want, with all the same colors, or different colors. Make polka dots, hearts, triangles, stars, peace signs, flowers, circles, diamonds, zig-zags, or create your own design.
Wear it. Place it on your wrist, and show your friends.
Make sure you don't stretch it too much or it will snap. If it snaps you can never use it again.
You could also glue sequins or beads on your bracelet. Be creative! Consider a ribbon in and out pattern then cut to make sure it is the same size as the rubber bracelet and finally attach with glue. You can look great as long as you don't overdo it!
Finished.

Gather rubber bands. Small ones work best
Put a rubber band on 2 of your fingers making a figure 8.
Add 2+ rubber bands to your fingers and pull 1 side of the figure 8 over the 2 bands and do the same to the other side.
Add another rubber band and pull the bottom 2 sides up over the following 2 bands.
Continue this pattern to desired length.

You can use pencils instead of your fingers to help you.
You can make patterns of colors.
Use different colors for the background and design, to match your clothes. Change a rubber band to match what you wear.
If you stretch the rubber band while drawing on it, it will have interesting shrunken patterns when you wear it.
If you want you can put letters.
Homemade glue works the best.

The dye from the permanent markers may rub off on skin or clothing.
If you have hair on your arms, a thin rubber band might pull on the hair and cause pain; so use a thick one.
It is possible to become allergic to the rubber in rubber bands causing a rash on your skin. If this happens take off the rubber band.
Rubber bands can break after too much stretching. Be sure to use a THICK rubber band. When thin rubber bands snap, they can fly into your face or eye and hurt you.
