| Notebook bungees
I have seen a thread on here showing how to make scale bungee cords. I tried using the wire from a spiral notebook and I was surprised how well it worked. It has a smaller diameter than the paper clips and you get a lot from one notebook. Just though I would share.

Here's my homemade bungees. I bought a box of these hooks at a local flea-market. I used small hair ties, wrapped a small piece of wire around either end and put some heat shrink on for looks. What do you think? http://i249.photobucket.com/albums/g...e/P5210336.jpg |

| Thanks, I've been wondering where to buy more myself. Just got lucky and found them laying in a pile of junk. I counted like 140 something hooks. I gave him .50 for all of them. Stole the hair ties from the girl friend. |

You could get those small s- hooks at most hardware stores.
