Has anyone ever seen elastic in colors other than black or white?

Or know if I try dying it, it would take color?

Bobbie gifted be a neat button bracelet - all sorts of buttons and beads
sewn on a black elastic.... Really neat if a tad clunky. But, boy would it
be fun to do something with all my ladybug buttons and beads like that....
But I want to work on green...

You can get elastic cord in various colors. Or, you could use green ribbon
and gather it onto elastic on the reverse - or go thru it with elastic cord.
Then you could work on the green ribbon for attaching the decorative stuff,
and not see the elastic.

Ellice - who has to go take a nap now (after working early)

For the heck of it I googld "green elastic" and came up with a lot of
sites, selling green elastic for beading/jewelry. The one below is a
"for example".

I mean the elastic you'd use for a waist band or cuff....


Ellice's idea of using a ribbon might have some merit. I use that on top...

Will keep playing with this in my head...
