Default 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.

Or just pick up thread and a needle and sew the 2 ends together..

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!
