How to Fix Rubber Bracelets

Rubber bracelets are popular because you can either make a fashion statement with them or just buy them to contribute to a charity. Over time, it might become brittle from the elements and break or get snagged on something a snap in half. If you want to salvage your bracelet, you can do so with the right kind of glue and some patience.

Things You'll Need

• Rubber cement
• Clothes pin

Instructions

1. Buy rubber cement or an adhesive that is made especially to be used to repair rubber. A strong glue that is used to repair rubber car parts would be a good choice because it is made to withstand the elements.

2. Take the cap off of the glue and dab some on one of the ends of the break so it thinly covers the surface. Remove any excess that might have been released from the tube.

3. Join the two broken ends together, give them a firm squeeze and hold for a moment. Clamp a clothes pin on the break to keep the two ends in place while the glue dries. Wait for the amount of time indicated on the glue's instructions before you remove the clothes pin and attempt to put the bracelet on.
