Used to tie hair...

scrunchie= an elastic amorphous looking band that your mother/wife/daughter uses for tying hair and leaves here and there and completely forgets (since they have dozens of this) until you use it for some useful purpose (such as tying plastic bags to flashes)- and then they yell at you for stealing it...

I was getting interested in creating an LED ring light and acquired a nice circular ring of plastic (I think covered a Kodak carousel or something) and was planning to buy LED light strips on eBay- however I found this and it is cheap enough ($ 34) to make me choose it instead of DIY-ing:

scrunchie - items I have in my drawer for hair, and also for any other necessary use. The large format use these for "taco" developing - take your 4 x 5 film, curl it slightly along the short dimension with emulsion inward, slip a nylon-covered rubber band (scrunchie) over it, put it into the developing canister. 3 "tacos" can be developed at a time in a 5" or taller developing canister.
