How to Make Rubber Band Ball

As simple as 123 or you can follow the video clip

Step 1
Start the rubber band ball by simply wrapping a single rubber band around a small marble or another small object until the band is tightly stuck around the marble. Or, maybe to start, you could use a small pencil to start the ball by wrapping the rubber band around it. Then, try sliding the rubber band off the end of the pencil. It will be a small, tight ball made out of a single rubber band. Instead of the pencil, take a small piece of paper or aluminum foil, and crumple it up many times so that it is a firm and very small sphere. Start wrapping the rubber bands around that. It will give you a solid center to start with or another choice is to use a bouncy ball to wrap the bands around.


Step 2
Or you can take three or four rubber bands and roll them in your hands until they are compressed slightly. Hold it with one hand and....Wrap another rubber band around that one.Keep wrapping rubber bands around and around till there is no give on it, and it's tightly wrapped.


Step 3
Before you put each new rubber band on the ball, toss it up in the air with a little spin (it doesn't matter what direction). This ensures that the ball will have a new, random orientation when you put each new band on. It will also keep your hand from cramping up, and keep the ball balanced.
