It is approx.4” long and 3/4” square. The object is to catch the rubber band with the little hook on the dowel rod, of course it will never actually catch the band…The dowel is to short. The big secret (Shhhh) is that you simply pintch the top rounded part and it gives the appearance that it snaps back into the body towards the rubber band. I get everybody with this one! It is pretty fun, easy to make, uses scraps, and is a great little gift!

I have a plastic one of these from a magic kit sitting on the counter. I love teasing kids and adults with it. I will soon have several versions like yours to send home with frustrated friends. : ) Thanks for sharing!
