Hello, DIYers!

Today we are talking about rubber bands! They are simple, right? But you can do so many things with them! You can use the strength and width of a large rubber band to build something fun and interactive or the small and colorful loom bands to make jewelry, charms, and other small items to play with. These are great craft activities for summer camps, sleepovers, or a rainy afternoon! Which will you choose?!
