I reworked the spring-loaded design since it should not take much material. I moved the springs toward the end without the key chain loop for a larger, unbroken canvas. There may be an issue keeping the pieces aligned with this change.
I also moved the elastic toward the far end while making the cleats deeper to capture the elastic more securely. The second option was a single band at the far end of a cleat, and below that, I added some protection for the cleat, whereas the one above it was exposed. The bulbous design, fourth from the top, places the rubber band right around the metal jimmy, so it should hold it snuggly while keeping the band in place. The last design uses the shape of the jimmy to keep everything in place.
The rest of the posts for this project have been arranged by date.
