Question

How many rubber bands do you need?

Top Answerer

That depends on how long you want your bracelet to be. Fishtails typically take lots of bands, and making a double-band fishtail would double the amount of bands. Make sure to have more bands than you expect to use in case you end up need them.

Warnings

If you make the bracelet on your fingers, take a break every now and then; you might cut off your blood circulation.

Do not stretch the bands too much; they might break.
