Elastic bands are also called elastic cords, rubber bands, etc. As clothing accessories, they are especially suitable for the production of pants, baby clothing and other clothing products. In our daily DIY DIY, we often need the assistance of elastic bands. By matching the elastic band raw materials we buy in the store with suitable fabrics, we can make beautiful and exquisite elastic band accessories. Below, the editor of the production department has compiled a tutorial for making elastic bands for you. By changing the style or color of the fabric, you can produce elastic bands with different effects, which can be matched with different handmade fabrics. Let’s choose the right fabric and DIY an elastic band.
Tutorial on making elastic band accessories
