Abstract: Carriers for securely carrying yoga mats are disclosed. In one embodiment, for example, a carrier comprises a planar portion and a shoulder strap portion coupled to the planar portion. The planar portion includes a first surface, a second surface opposite the first surface, and a securing strap coupled to the first surface. In operation, the first surface of the planar portion is positionable to interface with a yoga mat before the planar portion is rolled up with the yoga mat. The yoga mat can continue to be rolled up until the planar portion wraps around an exterior surface of the rolled-up mat. The shoulder strap is then fed through a securing strap on the carrier to secure the carrier to the yoga mat. The shoulder strap can then be used by a yoga practitioner to carry the yoga mat.

Abstract: A method to enable formation of ornamental circlets, comprising: forming a band that comprises a first end, a second end, a first ornamental motif positioned adjacent to the first end, and a second ornamental motif positioned adjacent to the second end; forming a tab in the first end adjacent to the first ornamental motif; forming a notch in the first end adjacent to the tab; forming slits in the second end adjacent to the second ornamental motif, twisting the band longitudinally 360 degrees; passing the slits through the notch to position the first ornamental motif under the second ornamental motif; and positioning the second ornamental motif under the tab. Forming the tab comprises forming the tab to have longitudinal symmetrically along the band. Forming the notch comprises forming the notch to angularly extend from a periphery of the band to the tab.
