Abstract: A strip of elastic is stretched over and encircles an object such as a door, car trunk or book cover. A tubular fabric cover may surround the strip. The cover is bunched so as to be capable of expanding lengthwise as the strip is stretched. A bow or other decoration, preferrably coordinated in appearance with the cover fabric, is removeably affixed to the band. One or more loops are formed in the band, preferrably proximate the bow, for hanging or mounting articles. The band may be continuous or may have a buckle to connect the ends.
