Rubber Bands

So Twin 2 has a rubber band addiction/obsession.  She uses a lot of them at work (or used to) and she always came home with no less than 5 around her wrist every day.  A sign was put up on her office door that she would see every day to remind her to remove the elastics from around her wrist before she left the office.  She had some hanging from every door knob in her house.  One day someone even asked her where she got her bracelets because they matched her outfit so well :)

Over the past year since her new position she hasn't had the opportunity to use them as much until one day last week.  TA DA!!!  Look what she brought home. 

There are many uses for rubber bands and below are just a few.  Check out #8 'Craft a statement necklace' YEP .... homemade prezzies coming up.

Our absolute favourite is #19.  Genius!

 Which leads us to her pet peeve about how rubber bands are packaged.  They are packaged by the 100s, in a box.  You need to remove and untangle about 30 of them before you manage to get one loose (at her work anyway). 

DISASTER!!

Her and another co-worker were discussing the rubber band packaging and how it could be more efficient when reaching for that elastic.  Twin 2 suggested that they come hung up one by one somehow.  Her co-worker said 'they should come on a mannequin's wrist'.  BRILLIANT!! Why wasn't that thought of before??

We're now working on it.
