I joined TechShop and gained access to the End Mill
learned to sew
& came up with ideas

Step 1: Measure!
Mark 1/8" from the Edge
&
wide enough to fit the Elastic Band through (mine was 1 1/16")

Step 2: Mill Time.
1/16" End Mill snap pretty easily so be careful.
I found using a moderately high RPM and a slow Feed speed worked the best.
(Tape it close for safe measure!...or not, you know, it's your life :P)

Step 3: Measure That the Hole You Just Milled Is on Point!
Yes.
Step 4: File That Bish!
Watch for scratches but don't worry too much, they're inevitable.
Step 5: Do the Elastic Band
Burn the ends of the Elastic Band so the thread has something more solid to anchor to.
Fold about 1/4" and use a Back Stitch to secure.
x2 for both sides.
Then use a Overcast Stitch (or whatever stitch you'd like) to secure the ends together.
This was for an order so I thought I'd try my hand at some design.
