A method of securing at least first and second inanimate articles together, said method comprising the steps of:
- providing a first flexible strip of material adapted to be bent;
- providing a first elongate piece of soft, rubber-like, non-scratch, flexible material substantially enclosing said first flexible strip of material;
- and
- twist-tying said first elongate piece of flexible material around said first inanimate article to secure said first inanimate article for transport or storage, said inanimate article independent of articles for personal grooming related to the human body and its adornments, said twist-tying step comprising:
- wrapping said first elongate piece of flexible material around the first inanimate article;
- and
- wrapping said first elongate piece of flexible material around the second inanimate article such that said second inanimate article is wrapped independently of said first inanimate article;
- wherein said first inanimate article is secured to said second inanimate article for transport or storage;
- wherein said first elongate piece of flexible material has a diameter between about 0.5 inch and about 2.5 inches;
- and
- wherein said first elongate piece of flexible material is at least about 10 inches long.
A method of securing a first piece of equipment to a second piece of equipment, said method comprising the steps of:
- providing an apparatus comprising:
- a flexible strip of material adapted to be bent;
- and
- an elongate piece of rubber-like material substantially enclosing said flexible strip of material, said elongate piece of rubber-like material having a length of at least about 10 inches and a diameter between about 0.5 inch and about 2.5 inches;
- wrapping said apparatus around said first piece of equipment;
- and
- wrapping said apparatus around said second piece of equipment such that said second piece of equipment is wrapped independently of said first piece of equipment;
- wherein said first piece of equipment is secured to said second piece of equipment;
- and
- wherein at least one of said wrapping steps comprises twist-tying said apparatus around said respective piece of equipment.
A method of securing at least first and second pieces of equipment together, said method comprising the steps of:
- providing an apparatus comprising:
- a flexible strip of material adapted to be bent;
- and
- an elongate piece of flexible foam material substantially enclosing said flexible strip of material;
- and
- twist-tying said apparatus around said first piece of equipment to secure said first piece of equipment, said twist-tying step comprising:
- wrapping said apparatus around the first piece of equipment;
- and
- wrapping said apparatus around the second piece of equipment such that said second piece of equipment is wrapped independently of said first piece of equipment;
