How do you make silly bandz at home?

Answer 1

What you Need

- 1 tube of silicone sealant (found at hardware stores)

- 1 oral syringe

- 1-2 drops of food colouring

- 1 square of waxed paper

- 1 sticky note

- 1 tooth pick

- 1 pencil

- 1 piece of tape

How to Make it

1. Draw the desired design on the stcky note

2. Take the waxed paper and put it on the sticky makeing the design face up

3. Take the food colouring and put some in the oral syringe

4. Then fill the syringe 1/3 with silicone

5. Take the syringe and trace the design care fully

6. Leave the band to dry for about 3 hours

7. Peel off and enjoy

Okay, here is an other workable method:

Some things you will need:

1. Some very thin PVC water pipe about 2" diameter, the thinner the better and about a foot long

2. An adult helper

3. A rubber squeegee, preferrably an inexpensive one.

4. Mineral oil

5. A tube of 100% silicone caulk

6. Your favorite color dyes

7. A utility knife

8. A kitchen stove and a pot of water that will hold the section of pipe

1. Boil the water on the stove and place the PVC pipe into it, wearing gloves, until the pipe begins to soften. When it does, squish it into the funnest shape you can come up with, so that the profile is the same the whole length of the pipe. A heart shape will probably be the easiest. Re-boil as necessary. Now, let it cool.

2. Rub mineral oil all over the outside of the pipe, in the thinnest coating possible. Repeatedly rub dry rags over it to remove as much as possible.

3. Using the utility knife, and a metal straight-edge as a guide, cut a notch out of the squeegee as even as you possibly can, about one sixteenth of an inch wide, running the length of the face of the squeegee, and stopping about an inch from each edge. You want a very thin, long notch that is not wider than the PVC pipe is long! Use die to make it colourful

Tie Die Bandz

1 Cut open the tube of silicone, and squeeze it all out into a disposable colors if you like to achieve a cool "tie-dye" look that is not available in store bought

ones.

2. Put on rubber gloves! Put down newspaper! Get ventilation! Now mix the dye into the silicone with your hands, and smear it onto the pipe. Use the notched squeegee to even the layer out into a thick sleeve going around the

pipe.

3. Let it cure. It will smell funny, but that is mostly just acetic acid (vinegar).

4. Once it is cured, use the utility knife to cut the bandz off of the sleeve wrapped around the pipe. Try for evenness, unless you want them wavy.

Slide them off the end of the pipe once you cut them, and set them aside.

9. Now smugly show them to your friends and tell them that you made them!
