How to Spin a Silly Bandz on Your Finger

Silly Bandz is a brand of thin, stretchy silicone bracelets resembling rubber bands. The bands are molded into shapes such as animals, musical instruments, plants and other objects. Silly Bandz are sold in sets of 24 bands for around $5. The sets contain shapes devoted to specific themes such as sports, comic book characters, motion pictures, television shows, holidays and even popular singing personalities. School children collect and trade Silly Bandz by the thousands.
