Anyone know of which elastic cord would be like this (preferably at amazon).
I, personally, have not found the fine round elastic holds up. I am using either the stretchy loops sold for kids to weave on a loom (about 8" cut), or strips cut from the width of old t-shirts, both of which are very soft.
