COTOWIN1.5 Inch Black Heavy Stretch Knit Elastic,5 Yards

I recently did the big chop and needed to secure my wigs being that I can't use bobby pins anymore. I measured my band from ear to ear with pressure and then cut off 1 inch. After sewing the band on both sides of the wig and trying it on, it gave me a secure fit. I then used bobby pins to apply the bottom portion of the wig to the band. It's a perfect fit.

This elastic was perfect for use in a Halloween costume I made (see picture - The picture from the back shows what the elastic needed to hold up and the picture from the front you can barely see the elastic as it's blending into my black shirt!). I made large butterfly wings from felt and then realized I hadn't thought of how to attach the wings to myself. I used the elastic to make two loop holes to go over each arm to wear the wings and it worked perfectly! I was able to attach the elastic using only a glue gun and had no problem with the elastic coming undone even after wearing the costume to two parties. The elastic was of great quality and did not fray when cut. The elastic also had the right amount of give so that I could easily get my costume on and off and did not stretch out over time.Highly recommended.

I needed this elastic to replace a worn out piece on a recoil-reducing shoulder pad that I have had for over 20 years. It was a simple matter to remove the worn out elastic with a seam ripper, cut a new piece of elastic off the roll, and use a large needle and heavy thread to hand stitch the new piece in place. Those of you who know how to use a sewing machine could easily do the same thing and make the repair look professional.

Really good with holding your wig edges down. I also sewed it into the back of my wig to make it glueless wig, I love it.

Perfect for adding to wigs for extra comfort and snug fit.
