What was your inspiration?
An upcoming Arts & Crafts fair - thinking it may be a good idea to make some to sell...and so, I came up with this one...will probably make more now that I have one that seems to work. It measures ~ 18" long & ~ 12" diameter (~6 1/2 " across as folded).

What advice would you give someone starting this project?
The hardest thing about making this is the elastic...make sure it is sewn secure - before you take the pin out of it.
