this shows elastic
it would be nice to make these for your quilting club or sewing circle

Here is a link that might be useful: for your finger...

Dang, I posted on this but it didn't show up.

Minnie, the ones in that first tutorial are so cute! Like little cupcakes or jewels, put some elastic on them and you'd have a functional but pretty ring! Or several and make a bracelet! Or give to little girls just as something pretty to set around. I love these!

Those are really cute! There are some cute ones on Etsy too! See link!

Lydia those really do look good enough to et.
Congrats to the gals who made them

Minnie...years ago when I was doing the craft shows...I made the pin cushion with the elastic to wear as a ring...

The ones I made used the old metal caps...so that might tell you how long ago it was...lol

I used the elastic that is round like a string but thicker.

Made lots and lots of them. All different colors and sizes of elastic.

I sold them for a dollar apiece.

Patti that is the kind I made I can't find the one I saved. I don't do much sewing anymore but it is around here somewhere. I also made pincushions out of the pull off plastic lids from spray cans. did them much like the little ones in the directions filled them with plaster of paris and used and covered the old style of styrofoam ball that you could stick pins into. I think gals also used tuna cans too .
They were so much fun to do
