Okay take the bic pen part and cut slits on both ends and make a hole big enough in the middle for the grip of the bic pen to fit through. Then put the rubber band in those slits on either side.

End result will look like this-

Six Inch Shaft

Very easy to find, if something is bigger, than you could cut it to make it the right size or let out more rubber band for a more longer stretch.

I made mine out of sum legos. i will include a picture of mine.
