Ok, this is what I call the cat o' nine pens.
I) forming the handle + chain.
1) Take an architect's scale (triangle ruler thing), and wrap a rubber band around it until the rubber band is tight.
2) Take 1 twistie tie and snake it through the rubber band.
3) Put a second rubber band onto the first twistie tie.
4) Fasten a second twistie tie onto the rubber band, so it forms a chain (scale + band ->tie->band->tie.
5) Put a large, strong rubber band through the second twistie tie, finishing the chain.
II) forming the "nine pens"
1) take 9 pens and 9 rubber bands, attach one pen to one band via the pen clip.
2) group the band + pen combos into 3's, each group of 3 attaches their bands to an extra rubber band
(3 band/pens attach to 1 band. 3 of those combinations make 9 band/pen combos attached to 3 bands.
3) attach those 3 combination bands onto the last band of the chain.
III) Swing like a maniac.
