Update below

Hi Cuties! I tried a mini book cover for a guy. I save & used the black elastic that shoes, flip flops,etc are hooked together at Walmart on the rack.
Update- I tried to install a small grommet without my pliers ( I can’t find mine) to insert elastic for these vinyl covers. The black elastic was off some shoes from Walmart that they use to hang and keep the pairs together. I also wanted you to see they fit perfectly in a mans shirt pocket.
On the cloth fabric, the brown print fabric in the other post, I used a ponytail band. I just stitched a large zig-zag over, not on, the elastic band.
I cannot find my pliers for the grommets. I’ve only had them about 40 years, you would think I could find them-lol

No doubt about you Toogie, you're a marvel when it comes to doing something different. It looks fabulous and so good to reuse things. Love Chris

Thank you...they should be here or got lost in a move. Can't even remember when I used them last.

Sadly, Toogie I can not view your pic's. I do not know if it is my internet or what. I know your work is very fine though.

Thank you for having confidence in me, sight unseen.
Have you tried restarting your pc? I’m not much help but sometimes I have to do that with mine and also my phone when it acts up.

Thank you for sowing us all yours and all the info you helped with. I just told my daughter I have had something 40 + years that I cannot find. Of course it's not in the container I 'always' kept it in with the eyelets and grommets. It's my Dritz Gripper Plier that I paid $3.95 for back in the stone age. Everything else was there but not my pliers.

Yes, I knew I'd 'need' it sooner or later. I just told my friend to make her kids save any for me-lol
