Step 2 Create the Pencil "Armature"

This step creates a place to attach the rubber band to the pencil. First, straighten a small paper clip so that only the innermost curve is left.

The next step is hard to describe. Place the bend in the paperclip so that it sits over the diameter of the pencil, leaving a loop sticking up (see the second picture). Then, wrap the remaining length of wire around the pencil.
