Provide video tutorials and a mail-in repair service for customers who prefer a fix rather than DIY.
Small-Batch Accessories Line
Create an accessories line using shock cord: elastic belts, flexible hats/visor retainers, pet toy leashes, boot toggles, and shoelace replacements. Emphasize durable UV-resistant material and custom lengths/colors. Sell at craft fairs, farmers markets and online with clear product photography and short demo clips.

Kayak Deck Bungee Rig Kit
Use the 1/8" shock cord to build a custom deck rig for a kayak: cut lengths, fuse or knot ends, add hooks or cord locks and small pad-eyes to create paddle keepers, cargo straps and perimeter deck bungees. The elastic gives secure hold with shock absorption for gear. Good beginner project — measure deck, mark anchor points, drill small holes for deck plates or glue-on pad-eyes, and finish ends with heat-sealed tips or neat whipping.
Woven Bungee Cargo Net
Make a flexible cargo/net organizer for car trunks, roof boxes or bike racks by weaving a grid of the elastic cord and finishing with reinforced edge loops. The UV-resistant polyester sheath makes it weatherproof for outdoor use. Variations include small tool nets, bike pannier inserts, or a collapsible cooler net — size the grid for intended items and add toggles or quick-release hooks at the perimeter.
Outdoor Plant Hangers (Macramé + Elastic)
Combine traditional macramé knots with elastic sections to create planters that gently cradle pots and absorb movement in wind. The stretch gives a shock-absorbing suspension so pots stay secure. Use multiple cords braided or knotted together for strength, and finish with metal ring hangers. Great for making weatherproof, flexible porch displays.
Light-Duty Gear Tethers & Tool Keepers
Make coiled or straight tethers for small tools, keys, paddles and camera accessories. Use short lengths with crimps or stitched ends and add carabiners, clips or quick attachments. Elastic tethers reduce impact if a tool slips and keep items handy without weighing down pockets. Try coiling the cord around a small mandrel to create retractable-style tethers.
