Making an Inifinity Symbol with the Width Tool - Illustrator

Say you want to make a fancy infinity symbol. A cheap way to do it is to turn an 8 on its side and then adjust the width of its strokes.

So, select the Width Tool in the toolbox bar.




On an 8 you have turned on its side, double-click an anchor and a text box will appear.



Change the total width value to 10.






By creating different values at different anchor points, you will get a smooth transition as the lines of the 8 curve and get thicker/thinner, like such.
