your desk? Gather them together into a rubber band ball! You will need At least 50 rubber
bands A sheet of paper (optional) Tin foil (optional) and a marble (optional). Step 1.

rubber band and twist it in half. Then twist it in half again. Step 2. To finish the core,
tightly wrap a second rubber band around it until the two are stable. If you have trouble
getting the two rubber bands started, you can crumple a sheet of paper or tin foil into
a ball or even begin your rubber band ball with a small marble. Step 3. Take your third
rubber band and wrap it around your core. Step 4. Repeat until you run out of rubber
bands. To get a round shape, wrap the bands at varying angles, covering thinner parts
with new rubber bands. Step 5. To create a ball that fills your friends with awe, you
may need to tie rubber bands together to fit around the increasingly large sphere. Step

it around your office. It's much more fun than pesky rubber band clutter! Did you know
