To make a rubber band ball, start by folding a short, thick rubber band in half, then in half again, then a third time until you have a flat "stack" of rubber. Pinch the thick stack flat, then twist and wrap a thinner rubber band around it until there is no more slack in the thin band. Criss-cross 2 rubber bands over the core to hold everything in place, then start layering on rubber bands, using the smallest bands first. Keep wrapping rubber bands around the core until you form a smooth ball. Be sure to space the rubber bands evenly.
