Screen Repair Tape

Drawstring Threader
Annoying, isn't it, when not one but both ends of a drawstring disappear into the tunnel of lost?
Why live with hidden drawstrings when someone has spent years of their life working out a solution, finally triumphantly bringing it forth from the drawstring skunkworks.
From the website:
••••••••••••••••••••••
Easily recover lost drawstrings.
Don't give up on athletic pants, jackets, and hoodies just because the drawstring comes out.
Feed this flexible threader through the garment and re-thread the drawstring.
Set includes one regular size and one mini (for smaller garment openings).
Plastic.
••••••••••••••••••••••
Two for $9.99.
