They are continuous loops. Presumably she cut them, then fed them through
normal earrings and glued them closed again.

More likely that she opened up the wire hoops on a pair of simple
earrings and closed them on the Livestrong bands.

Of course! How stupid of me.

Or cut them, fed them through her earlobes, and glued them closed again :-)

They glue well! After breaking mine in an accident last Sunday, a
dribble of Superglue worked wonders!

Yes, superglue is quite commonly used in place of stitches in surgical
procedures, so slicing the ear and gluing it up would also work.
However, I prefer my suggestion :-)

The fake one I got off ebay was glued as "new".

She wouldn't have to slit her ear-lobes. She could glue the ends of
the cut bands directly to them.

Definitely some 'out of the box' thinking going on in this thread :-)

Talking of Livestrong and hospitals, watch out when visiting the US,
apparently some hospitals use similar yellow bands to mean "do not
resuscitate"....
