What does everyone do with their bands?

[javajunkie]

two bulldog clips holding two business cards flat, and each smoke gets it's band stashed inside, flat and safe. when i fill two of those, they get lumped together and cling-filmed into a mostly flat bundle. i keep hoping for a project to pop up, but it usually happens that someone opens their yap and i bomb them out. o)

I toss them unless I really like it then I glue it in a small notebook. And a short description of the cigar.

I have to admit first of all that I didn't read all the other posts so this might've been mentioned... I have been saving bands to make a smoking table. a collage of bands under a thick resin layer for the "bar" that I hope to be posting pics of in the next couple months.

Not mine...but a cool idea that I would like to try...for those that play poker.

Another awesome idea with the poker table. I just posted on FB prayer beads made from bands

I've been starting to play with my bands some...
You can see my herfador in this pic

That was the first thing I did with bands. I used some clear epoxy (rod building) and had erred in hoping the epoxy would help flatten the bands. I haven't filled things in to make it nice and smooth yet.

I have since decorated my S3 case too

For this I made sure the bands were flattened (books and wallets work great) then applied a spray adhesive to the bands. Once I had them in place, I covered the whole thing with hard as nails (ask your wife/gf/mom)

Awesome phone case!

I've saved nearly the band from nearly every cigar that I've smoked in the past 10 years. I intend to do something with them, but I haven't determined what that something is just yet, haha.

I've had a lot of time on my hands recently, so I started this

iPhone5 from tapatalk sent was this.

You honestly want to know what i do with my bands? I lose them. Sometimes they blow away in the wind. Other times they get buried under my workbench in the garage. The best one is they go through the wash in my pants and my fiancee throws a little unrecognizable ball at me.

They make great cat toys. Not so great baby toys(my woman only has so much patience with me.) I did put my band from the DE BOTL 2013 on my fridge so i didn't lose that one, but this practice is also frowned upon by the woman folk.

Glad to see you guys are much more creative than I.

I have been saving mine in a huge antique jar for the past year or so. I plan to buy a beat up acoustic guitar off craigslist and cover the body with them. I just need to smoke more so I can finally get this project going. I think it will be pretty cool when complete.

Cigar bands on the body of an acoustic guitar is a really cool idea

If any of the brothers have a collection of bands and have no use for them I will take them. I plan on making cigar band furniture with an entertainment stand I have in my man cave. I have a collection of bands but to cover the stand I will need tons more!

I just ordered these to put my bands in. 3pk for $13
