Abstract: Rubber silicone bracelets are a popular type of wristband worn today; however, they lack in both customization of content as well as size. The biggest problem with current wristbands is that they are designed for a single cause and are manufactured to represent one specific purpose. The new customizable wristband has a unique design of linking together elastic panels and rigid connectors. It's design allows users to combine links containing different images, words or phrases and connecting those links to form a band. This gives an individual the ability to not only change the look and size of the band but to display the things they are passionate about into a single wristband.
