In the spirit of storage solutions, this is one of mine.

I was disappointed when Wal-Mart stopped carrying a handy bungie cord net that was designed for holding spare motorcycle helmets. I use them to hold light weight items like empty grocery bags, clothes… to the ceiling of my van. I had other uses planned when the nets disappeared from the shelves. I ordered the elastic cord in bulk from McMaster-Carr then never got around to figuring out how to tie the net. At the Expedite Expo, forum member donaddemt started bugging me to learn how to make the nets. Anything can be found on You Tube to include many lousy tutorials on netmaking. I ended up finding the level of written instruction I needed here.
