Abstract
The present invention comprises a closed loop elastic strap having at least a primary thickness, a width and an adjustable length. The length is adjustable by feeding the elastic strap through a buckle with one end of the elastic strap attached to a loop with another portion of the elastic strap fed through the same loop and the other end of the elastic strap attached to a portion of the same buckle. The closed loop elastic strap can be stretched around (but not limited to) the end of a picnic table to hold a tablecloth in place or around the top of (but not limited to) a beach chair or lounge chair to hold a towel in place during windy or adverse conditions.
