Does anyone have any 1/4 inch elastic they could sell? My mom is making masks and ran out, she ordered some awhile ago and it hasn’t been delivered. Thanks

Best answer
To too have had to make long ties. Forget cutting wider elastic, it freys and the bungee cord trick doesnt work. The ties work well. If she does them they are 36-40 long. Can sew to bottoms or sides

I saw someone post this, because elastic is hard to find now. Bungee cords have tons of elastic!

@lamkin I had a pack of bungee cords and tried cutting one open. Although there were a bunch of elastics inside, they weren't strong. A firm tug caused it to snap.

Does your mom sell these?

@meant hi, she isn’t selling, making them for friends and family but she might have extra, I’ll know when she’s done. You might also want to check out Tailoring by Monica in downtown Naperville, they are providing masks for free as well.
