Everything I used is shown in the picture in my post. The only thing I had to buy, that I didn't have on hand, was a pkg of needles. I found them at Wal-Mart, in the craft section ... but, the only pkg they had that had a needle with a big enough eye to put a piece of rubber band or tube tail into, was a multi-pack that had a "Sack" needle. The "Sack" needle was all I needed ... and works great. Its tip is "pointed" & not beveled, so it pushes thru the bodies, rather than cutting/slicing thru ... & also it's less likely to cut/slice ME, too Rofl Thumbs Up

Yeah cp,

No one likes being stuck with a needle. When I first started doing this I jabbed one between the nail and the flesh of the finger quite a ways up. It took three weeks for the pain to go away. I have used sack needles now for the past year.
