I've had this old clock in the garage for years now - pretty dull. My kids collect my old cigar bands and they never get used for anything. So, I figured we'd have a craft day and decorate the clock. I used Scott's idea of using a glue stick. I think it works a lot better than white glue. Here are some photos. Pretty neat project, as I remembered a lot of these cigars by revisiting their bands. We've got enough bands to make a lot more crafts so I can only guess what they'll come up with next.

Also, we made all types of paper airplanes and several types of origami. Kids keep you young!

That is awesome. Way to turn an piece of junk into a piece of art. I need to start keeping my bands so I can do something similar in the future.

That is great! Love it! I took the bands the hubby and I had and made a huge picture for him. I used rubber cement though. Easier to pull them up and tuck others if needed.
