Double star with two rubber bands

As the title suggests, this is a cute little trick for making a double star with two rubber bands.

I clearly explain the steps in the video, so it’s easy for beginners to follow.

It can be a fun little gag to try with friends at school or with family at home.

I tried making the ultimate rapid-fire rubber band gun!

I’m going to make the ultimate rapid-fire rubber band gun using disposable chopsticks and rubber bands.

It’s quite intricately built, so it requires a variety of steps, but some of you might have made one when you were kids.

Just completing it should be satisfying! And if you can hit the target reliably, it’ll be even more fun! There’s also a detailed guide on how to make it.

Ferris wheel

This is a project where you heat a Ferris wheel made with rubber bands over a flame to make it move.

Is this some kind of scientific experiment? I’m also wondering how on earth you even make that rubber-band Ferris wheel in the first place, but it seems that heating it applies some kind of force that makes it spin! Why not give it a try yourself?

Just by attaching it to your feet, you can run faster.

Life hack! A simple way to run faster! [A must-see for elementary, middle, and high school students]
Just by attaching it to your feet, you can run faster.

Did you know that simply putting a rubber band on your feet can actually make you run just a little faster than usual? It seems the rubber band helps reinforce your muscles.

The way you put it on is a bit special, so watch the video to learn how.

It’s fun to time yourself before and after putting it on and compare the results.

Rubber band skipping

I tried the trendy rubber band trick and was amazed!
Rubber band skipping

Gomu Mawashi is a simple game where you loop a rubber band around your thumb and middle finger and deftly move it with your index finger to the music.

You pass the band through at a steady rhythm, and if you time it right and give it a quick spin at the end, you succeed.

It looks easy, but it actually tests your concentration and finger control, so even adults can get really into it.

Compete with multiple people at the same time and the excitement ramps up instantly.

Another plus is that you can play anywhere as long as you have rubber bands or hair ties.

It’s great as a party trick, recreation for seniors, or even as brain training.

rubber band snap

Major disaster!!! What happens if we tie all the rubber bands together? Super long rubber band snap!!

This was a project to make a “rubber band snap” like comedians do, using rubber bands.

What’s amazing is the sheer number of bands—two whole boxes.

They connected them one by one, bundling them at set intervals, repeating this for eight hours.

What perseverance! Can something like this even be pulled? In the end, they make sure to properly test the rubber band snap.

Just how many times did this rubber band rotate in such a short time?! It looks like a string figure and a magic trick, but unfortunately there’s no reveal.

Still, if you watch very closely, master the technique, and show it to someone, you’ll probably amaze quite a few people.

I kind of get the first half, but the second half—what’s going on there? It seems pretty tricky!
