[NFB-Krafters-Korner] Cane holder

Thu Aug 8 02:21:56 UTC 2019

I made a pouch for my slate and stylus and cards. We could vary the length for different canes. It would not look dressy like leather, but you could use fun colors or something conservative like black. We would want to line it with something, felt is the easiest and not really expensive at Michaels.

Use a clamp of some sort to attach it to a chair or table.  Would buyers want to stand the cane up by a table or desk or put it in a pouch. The pouch could be knitted, crocheed, or made from duct tape. Indeed, they might sell at national convention and other places. We could make money and still sell them for $10 I think. Don't know that we need much money, but we could donate it to other parts of the NFB which could be helpful to the Division and the receiver. If we could find the right formula, we could also help people get to the convention or get somebody to do an exciting demo. See, you got my creativity going!
