Mini-Bungees

Ever need a very short bungee cord?

Have a few rubber bands and some paper clips?

Like to compete with yourself?

Step 1 Materials and Tools

Gather your materials:

• 1 or 2 rubber bands
• 2 paper clips
• Stopwatch to beat your previous record

Tools:
I used a needle nose pliers to bend the paper clips, but your hands would work equally well.

Time:
63.2 seconds

This is a great Instructable, but you need to add a main image of the final project to the intro step. Please do that and leave me a message when you have so that we can publish your work. Thanks!

this thing is AWESOME
Ive been looking for something to do with my rubber bands - too many of them

A very good idea. I tried it yesterday evening, but have one comment: I braided the elastic bands - it was much stronger, as tested by using various weights with the finished product. Of course, this made the bungee a bit shorter. Thanks for the tip.
