Intro: Magnetic Wristband

We all know magnets have magical properties. They are bipolar mystical phenomena with invisible forces all around them.

This poor´s man magnetic wristband can be a life/time saver when working with screws and nails. It´s much safer than holding stuff in your mouth, specially when handling tools.

STEP 1: Materials & Tools

Materials:
• 80´s sweat wristband. You know you have one laying around.
• Fridge magnet. One fast food joint phone number less. 99 to go.
• Little round magnets scrapped from stuff around the house.

Tools:
• Scissors
• Contact Glue

STEP 2: Gluing and Cuting Open

Glue the round magnets to the fridge magnet. While the glue is drying, cut open about an inch of the 80´s sweat wristband

STEP 3: Slide the Magnet Dance

When everything is dry, slide the magnets into the wristband

If you want to go full ghetto style, staple the opening. You can also sew, but more metal is always better.

STEP 4: Never Loose Your Screws Again

Now drop some screws on your magnetic wrist

It crossed my mind, but the ones I had were already used in another project and I dont think is worth to hold nails and screws.

I love step 3... I imagine it happening automagically like that without any help
