Everyone Needs them!

These rubber bands are so cool and colorful that I bought them for my son when he turned 17. Why? Mom is crazy. Well everyone with an imagination can figure out something to do with them. Binder a stack of papers but please do not use them to launch small items accross the room or give your friend such a snap. Usefull for tie dying large items and coordnating the color that you will be using with the colors of the rubber bands. Hey my son wasn't all that excited either but we(me) did end up putting these on the neck of a clear glass vase in a color coordinated rainbow pattern the following week for a bunch of summer white daisies. It made the vase neck less slipperly for refilling and they can be used again! He liked the look at our table and don't worry it wasn't his only gift.
I write books and these huge rubber bands are ideal for keeping manuscripts evenly alligned in mailing envelopes when sending them to prospective publishers. Usually one band vertically and one horizontally is sufficient but if a manuscript has more than say 300 pages then two in each direction might be necessary to keep the pages alligned in the envelope. And there is plenty of stretch in the bands to go around this number of pages without the pages buckling or bending; they stay perfectly flat.
