How to make a simple elastic lanyard that can be used for fastening
a mini flashlight (size 1AAA) to different objects when you wants hands free light.

Example of use:

- attached to different objects (size/diameter 10- 65 mm)

- When attached to a bottle cap the flashlight can be pointed up- or downwards
by placing the smallest loop at the front or rear of the flashlight like shown below.

How to make it

Materials :
- A small split ring/ key ring
- Elastic cord (shock cord), diameter/size 2,5 mm or 3/32 inch, length: 40 cm .

1.
Make the large loop, length 70 mm ( measured when "straightened"),
tighten the knot hard as shown below to preserve the loop size.

cut off the cord ends and melt them with a lighter (unless you want frayed ends).
