Default Hang Tag Elastic String type stuff

Hi all -

I'm not sure what it's called exactly, but I need to find a source for the elastic gold colored string stuff that you can use to attach tags to items. It's kinda shiny, stretchy and about the diameter of really thick string.

I hope i'm explaining this correctly..lol

thanks!

Bob

Any fabric supply store should have that. I think Wal-mart carries it as well.

Look to see who makes the product on the package and then see if they have a website. Maybe from there you can buy it in the amount you want.

Are you talking about the "barbs" or is that something else?

Well, I've since discovered that it's called "elastic cord". The only place I can find to buy it will only sell a minimum of 50.00, which is fine, except that would be enough of that stuff to last me about 10 years. I use it to tie tags to dye subbed mugs and only use about 6 inches at a time.

The search continues. If anybody else uses this stuff and needs some, shoot me an email and we can split up an order.

Bob,

Here are two sources:

Elastic Cord - Metallic Elastic Cord - Stretch cords - Stretch Beading Cord - Jelly Cord
Metallic Elastic Cord - Gold - # 10062-22 36 yds $3.39

Sew-Biz Fabrics Webstore - Elastic Shock Cord
#ec-2 1/16" Elastic Cord Per Yard $0.29/yd.

Try doing an internet search on "metallic elastic cord" rather than "elastic string", and you may find more sources.

Okay, now you already know look for "metallic elastic cord". That's what I get for taking a phone call in the middle of typing a response.
