How to Make a Rubber Band Star

A simple way is to make a single star. Take a sturdy rubber band and place it over your left thumb and index finger. Stretch it out slightly so it's taut. When holding your palm toward you, you'll see 2 bands. Push your right index finger underneath the first one and hook your finger over the second band to pull it out. Then, use your right hand to twist the band you just pulled out to the right over itself and create a teardrop-shaped loop that you can hook over your pinkie finger. After that, reach into your thumb look to grab the top band with your index finger and then draw the band out the way you came in, through the thumb loop. Finish the star by grabbing the right side of the band between your 2 index fingers. Stretch out your fingers to make your star!

First, make a single star with the rubber band. Then, you can move to making a double star. Release your pinkie and your left thumb and stretch the triangle over them, which will create a triangle shape with a loop over the right index finger and a loop over the middle index finger. Then, place the right index finger loop over your left thumb and the right middle finger loop over the left pinkie. After that, use your right index finger to grab the bottom of the loop near your index finger and pull the bottom loop down before twisting it over itself to the left and forming a new loop. Put your right index finger through the inside of the loop that goes over your thumb and then place your right middle finger through the inside of the loop that goes over your pinkie. Finally, lift the loop that you pulled down from the top with your right thumb and pull it over the ends of your fingers while keeping them in the loops of the star and you'll end up with a double star.

Yes, a rubber band is not a hair tie. If you put a rubber band in your hair, it can pull it too aggressively and potentially cause breakage. The more you damage and pull at your hair, the more wear and tear on your scalp, which could potentially lead to balding. No matter how convenient it may be, never use a rubber band as a hair tie. Instead, choose loose and smooth hair ties that don't have metal clasps. That way, you can keep your hair organized without hurting it.
