I was looking around Walmart and Hobby Lobby over the weekend trying to find a small elastic that I could use for straps. Has anyone found anything commercially available? Any help would be great.

Try plastic hair ties, available in most drug stores.

I use black elastic string from the beading section. They have various thicknesses. I also use the chrome or gun metal crimping beads to tie them together.

Man, I'm glad I asked this question. I searched all over saturday for ideas and as usual you guys came through. Where did you buy the elastic? And did you color the athletic tape or did it come in black?

Oh and Slaymaker, I LOVE how your figure above has his boot tips colored. That's a detail usually only vet's would think about.
