work great for holding kids painting and craft projects

This portable clothesline is really good. It is made from elastic rubber with a nylon covering. The clothesline weighs just 7 ounces and is 5.9 feet long. The clothesline will stretch up to 12.8 feet in length but you need at least 10 feet between the surfaces where you want to use this clothes line to get it to stretch tight enough to hold the weight of the clothing you intend to hang on it. The clothesline has 12 clips and 13 black rubber beads. The beads have a toggle button on them so they can be adjusted to stop the clips from moving around as the clothes blow in the wind. This line can be used at the beach or pool to hold wet swimsuit and towels. It can be used while camping, on a cruise, while traveling, etc. I specifically wanted to use this portable clothesline to hold my daughter's artwork and craft projects so the paints or glues can dry. The clips are coated with a soft rubber so they don't damage the items I hang on them. The black rubber beads let me space the items out and keep them exactly where I want them so that they don't touch each other. I wrapped one end of the line around a small tree and fastened the hook over the elastic rope to hold it in place. Then I stretched it over to another nearby small tree and hooked it the same way. I am pretty happy with this portable clothesline so far and it works perfectly for what I wanted it for.
