How To Start A Rubber Band Ball

Rubber bands make their way to us in a variety of ways. Once they reach us, many of them end up in drawers or stuffed in small boxes and zipper bags in a cupboard. For some, however, rubber bands end up being used for a higher purpose. The rubber band ball starts small but can grow to epic proportions. Here is a few tips on how to start one of your own.

Stuff needed:
Rubber bands
Paper (optional)

Step 1
Lay out all of the rubber bands you have and weed out any damaged or dried-out rubber bands.

Step 2
Tie a rubber band into a few knots. This will be the core of your ball. If you wish to get a head start, you can make the core by rolling up a small ball of paper.

Step 3
Wrap a rubber band around the core, twisting it and looping it until the rubber band is tight.

Step 4
Continue to wrap rubber bands around the core until it begins to look like a ball. It may not look like a perfect sphere until it reaches the approximate size of a ping pong ball. From there, continue to add rubber bands until you reach the desired size.
