Good thought Gerri. It made me recall that we used to use the same general type product called "wire ties" that were like miniature versions of the "ties" you see police using as a substitute for handcuffs only in the form of a series of tiny spheres. These little guys were for neatly bundling bunches of electronic wiring. A source would be an electronic supply house. Also, being nylon, they take stain coloring very well.
