I've been buying bands from staples, they do big bags that are just the right size, but only come in rubber band beige. However, they also do big bags of assorted size/colour, which would probably suit what you want. The assorted size bags also have big thick bands which are ideal for my 3rd favourite band effect: Joint Venture (from Bandshark)

Actually, on a side note, for thick rubber bands, the red ones that can be found on the pavement are rather good...

Postman's rubber bands!

Although I get mine from the work's postroom rather than picking up litter! :wink:
