I made one with newspaper as the core. Worked well, but it's not perfectly round. I'll make more and use them as juggling balls. Thanks for the instructable!

So what we got here is a rubber band ball made from an innertube! I've made rubber band balls before and I was always looking for a cheaper alternative to giant rubber bands, I think I found it! Cool idea.

What's the point of this?

[zjharva]

its a ball. i guess its kinda recycling. it uses up inner tubes to make a toy to play a game called catch! ever heard of it or ever played outside?

recycling? crafty? fun? an office toy? many many many uses, to my knolege everything has a point to or behind it.

i suspect the point may be to make a ball out of an inner tube. or something of that nature.

Hmm would make good ammo in ma spudgun Luckily enoyugh i have two huge innertubes pumped up next to me (Explosion waiting to happen) rated 5/5

thats neat, though you cheat with the yarn ball xD try a rubberband ball, so it will bounce more

[zjharva]

yeah i cheated. i know about rubber band balls, but i had an extra inner tube.

[Weissensteinburg]

Does it bounce at all? Why does that last one look like it's covered in duct tape?
