diy bungy cords

[Frigid River Venture]

ok so you have seen how many different bungy how to
this one is different no hair ties
what you need is
needle nose pliers
paper clips
scissors
side cutters
and last a piece of inner tube I find mountain bike tube are best

first cut the inner tube in sections then split the sections to get one flat piece

this is very hard to explain but here we are going to try you need to cut dog bone shaped pieces out of the rubber
I am going to draw this out on paper so you get the idea
first one size

cut out of inner tube

then the next inside that sort of smaller

cut from inner tube

then the next inside that smaller

cut from inner tube

then the next inside that smaller

cut from inner tube

I had room for one more just did not draw it on the paper

now you have 5 different size dog bones
and a rubber leftover piece that looks like this

now take a paper clip and straighten it out

next make a loop in one end

make a loop the other way to make an s hook

cut the s loose

make a bunch of these

more to do

I forgot you need a small drill bit
using the small bit drill a hole in both ends of the dog bones I only show this one time it is clear as I can make it

now after every hole is drilled slide an s hook into the hole

now one in the other end

there you have it one rubber bungy cord now after you have a hook in every hole you have this sort of thing

hope this was a help
just a side note on the tube do not try wheel chair tubes way to light and they tear fairly easy
