Upcycle Project | Do it yourself recycling Homemade Rubber Bands

This comes from our other blog: http://blog.greengurugear.com/

Why use those boring nude colored rubber bands when you can have bold black ones? Not to mention the potential of having what we have all secretly want to make, a rubber band ball.

To get started all you need is your old inner tubes and scissors and you are ready to roll. I took the inner tube, laid it out and made a first cut through the tube, don’t feel guilty the tube is going to a better place. Then simply make another cut about a centimeter from the first cut to make a band. The awesome thing is you can vary the width of your cuts to make really wide or skinny bands for different strengths. The circumference also varies if you are using an old road bike inner tube to an old mountain bike inner tube, so many choices! And it is that simple, you now have, in my opinion, the coolest rubber bands from here to the bike shop.

Supplies: -old inner tube (bike) -scissors
