Cap Keeper

Keeping a close eye on those binocular caps.

by: Gary McIntyre

Never lose binocular caps again. Pierce the center of each cap with a sewing needle; thread dental floss through it and make a knot. Thread through the cross supports of the binoculars and the second smaller cap before tying off. Repeat on the other side.
