Indulge In The DIY Project With Rubber Bracelets
By Jecson King

Over the years, rubber bracelets have emerged as a popular accessory. Silicone wristbands, once started as a charity bracelet, have attracted the attention of people from all age groups. Are you also fascinated by these multi-coloured rubber bracelets? If yes, the good news is that you can design your own rubber band bracelet without spending a lot of money.

This Do-It-Yourself guide will help you to design an impressive and stylish bracelet to earn a popular place in your friend circle. So let's get started.

You will need:

� Rubber Bands of different colours - you can use as many colours as you want.

� 1 Hook

� 1 Pencil or Pen

Method:

Now that you have collected all the accessories, we can start with our project. First, I will teach you how to design a simple bracelet.

Take the rubber band and fold it in half around the pen/pencil. Then take a different coloured band and string it through the first wrist band and fold it in half. Continue doing the same until the length of the bracelet is enough and it can be easily worn around your wrist. Finally, tie the ends together and your bracelet is ready to wear.

You can use a different band to tie the ends of your rubber bracelets together or tie them with a string or anything that you can come across.

Fishtail Bracelet

Designing a perfect fishtail bracelet will need you some patience and lots of practice. So try making it till you are satisfied with the results.

Start by using your index finger and middle finger as the loom. Set up the first band in the figure of 8 followed by the second and the third rubber band in the shape of 0. Now bring the bottom rubber band over the top of the second and third band. Next, take one side of the band that is on the bottom and bring it over your finger. Drop it so that it is over the top of the other two bands. Repeat the same with the opposite side.

Follow this by adding another rubber band over the top of the previous bands. Work out with the rubber bands according to the above mentioned steps and make sure that there are always 3 bands on your fingers. Keep repeating the pattern and soon you will find a fishtail pattern in between your fingers. Keep weaving the bracelet so that it reaches the required length. Finally, finish off the bracelet by slipping in the loose end into an S- or C- shaped clip. You can use different colours to make your rubber bracelets look more interesting and unique.

What Is a Rubber Band Bracelet?

Rubber band bracelets come in a variety of sizes to fit anyone that may be wearing it, as well as colors to suit whatever is interested in purchasing one. You can also get them in different shapes such as finger bands that you can wear on your fingers like rings, necklaces that you wear around your neck and even bracelets that have little crests or designs on them.

Why Would I Want a Rubber Bracelet?

You'll likely want a rubber bracelet if you're trying to make a fashion statement, there are lots of people who would like to wear bracelets and other type of accessories to match and better accent their clothing. As of late, you can see a lot of different creative types of bracelets in popular music videos worn by celebrities.

Promotional Items for Business

On the other hand you may be a business that is trying to solicit prospects and make more sales. Rubber bracelets are known to be a great marketing tool that businesses can use to get their word out. The cool thing about giving these types of promotional items away is that your prospects will actually use them. This is a huge benefit as usually companies that give out free swag (as it's called) to people don't really want to end up not even using. The objective should be to get your brand name out as much as possible so that you can receive free exposure. This will not happen if no one is using the things that you're giving away, and essentially you'll be wasting money.

Awareness of Organizations

Perhaps you're an organization that needs to get the word out about your awareness issues such as cancer or other non-profits. You may have even seen a huge marketing campaign for cancer patients with the pink ribbons on the back of people's cars. If you do or have, you've already been subjected to the awareness of that marketing promotional. Custom rubber bracelets are no exception to this and can also gain exposure in the same way, just in a different method (worn on the wrist).

Kids Love Rubber Bracelets

Children and adolescents are especially fond of these types of jewelry items that they can wear. If you recall, there was a product called Sillybands that sold millions of rubber based bands to children worldwide. I think a large part responsible for this massive sales trend is the fact that these are very easy to like product that is both fun and engaging for whoever wears it.

I hope my article has helped you to understand why custom rubber bracelets like these are such a good promotional and fashion item to have no matter the need.

To ensure you obtain the best possible pricing for you or your business ensure that you check prices for promotional rubber bracelets first.
