I'll bet you didn't know you could make your own rubber bracelet. You can order the rubber bracelets from a custom bracelet manufacturer or you can make a rubber bracelet wristband from several different household items, too. Rubber bracelets are great because they stretch and wristband-style bracelets are great for fundraisers.

Try ordering them from a wholesale discount silicon bracelet manufacturer, You can customize and make your own rubber bracelet message, saying "vote for Pedro" or "feed the daughters at www.Lisarussell.org" if you want. Whatever you want. I'd buy the latter, especially if it was a fundraiser.

Unroll three rubber prophalactycs and braid them together. They come in all different colors and textures, so you can create almost any kind of look for your custom rubber bracelets. Try adding things like beads for decoration. You can thread a metal clasp onto each end to secure the rubber bracelet.

Find internet companies that sell embossed rubber bracelets for fundraisers and awareness. You can use their website to choose which letters and symbols you want to have on your rubber bracelets. Make your own rubber bracelets for less than 25 cents a piece, depending on how many you order. The ads for those companies are all over this page, right click and open them in a new tab so you don't lose these ideas. I mean seriously. If you're raising awareness for something important like STD awareness, a condom bracelet would really be a good idea.
