Go to this site for
56 tablet weaving ideas. In fact I should update the weavershand list as I
now have 75 suggestions.

Thanx Pamela! That's the sort of thing I want to
hear: actual modern day
uses for tablet weave. 8-]
Yes,
camera straps, and guitar straps. And luggage ribbons! Great idea.
(Come to think of it, I know someone who uses an inkle band for that
purpose...now why didn't I ever extrapolate to TW?)
People carry
their keys and IDs on colorful bands these days. I've TWoven a
name
badge neck strap for a science fiction convention before, but that's a
limited appeal. ;-j
Every little bit helps.
