Hi friends,

You are really not giving us much. Maybe this will help you.

Here is a link for a rubber band that is specifically intended for your purpose. And, yes, it really is 50 feet long.

How long is this project going to take?

"small" could mean anything from a few centimeters to a few meters, to different people or for different purposes.

For the low end of that range, a glass bead and a plastic washer make a pretty decent and almost free bearing.
