If you want to make an official record you cant have a marble in the middle because it is counted as cheating. you need to make a knot of bands tied together to start it!!!

I don't get this step. do i slide the band under a previous rubber band, or what? Oh, and please tell me how to connect the ends.

That ball would be heavy :-P
Where do you get the rubber bands that are very long?

Just on a side note you don't need a marble. Instead just take one rubber band(a small one works best) and smush it up into a little ball. Then start wrapping. Thats how I made mine.

You can make knots too. thats what I used but the marble is earsier for other people

good luck on beating the world record. i think it was two shop owners who got bored one day because their business isnt doing too well so they started making one. now it wont fit outside the door. and lots of people come to their shop just to see it lol
