| Cheapest scale Bungee chords ever!
47 cent section of chain and a few hair binders from my wifes bathroom... Little bit of glue and some unbending of the chain... Viola! I still want to put a little heatshrink tube on them to cover up the glued ends, but they work. |

Great Idea. The heat shrink should keep the glue from letting go.

bunges sometimes have a clamp although most are a knot anymore. A staple cut in half and bent around the glued area might look real good?

| Thanks! and yes, colors and also lengths are easy to change. This was just my first try at making them. I wanted to make sure the superglue would hold by itself before i remake them to look better. So far so good. "Or just pick up thread and a needle and sew the 2 ends together.. " I didn't want to risk puncturing the rubber band inside. If i find a cleaner way to make them I'll post pics, or if someone else does I would love to see your ideas in action! |
