It would be safe to say that each one of us has rubber bands lying around the home which usually end up being covered in dust, disbursed to random places througout the house, or even shoved to the back of a drawer.

Not any more - those days are over! Start digging out those rubber bands because we have some mind blowing hacks that you'd wished you knew, and will be using in no time!
