Make Rubber Bracelets
Step 1:
Purchase a large rubber band or a small toy Barbie bicycle. Both of these items fit on the wrist.
Step 2:
Using sharp scissors, cut 8 inch strips from belts, gloves, rubber mats, or bicycle innertubes. Connect the ends together with glue.

Accurately measure your cuts with chalk. Chalk stays on well, is easy to see, and wipes off easily.
Step 4:
Add color to your rubber bracelets using colored markers.
Step 5:
Glue beads, crystals, glitter, sparkles, and studs to your rubber bracelets for decoration.
Step 6:
Hang tassles, chains, and charms from your rubber bracelets using a strong adhesive.
Tips & Warnings
Already pre-formed rubber bands make the best rubber bracelets. For maximum decorating space, find rubber that is at least 1/2 inch wide. If your bracelets are thin enough you can sew the ends together with a needle and thread.
Use a strong adhesive glue to ensure a long lasting hole.
