It’s more likely than you think. So, in my wanderings today I decided to stop by Big 5. As I passed the snowboard equipment, I saw this: ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/b/0/e/b0e1b74bd0d9ae9bf2a708beddc71e3dc0428bf5.jpeg) (Spikes not included.) I thought to myself, “Hey, that might make a good yoyo holster…” So I picked one up. Got home, put the spikes on and grabbed a toggle, and got to work. I undid the knot at the end of the white cord, and threaded it through the underside of the clip. ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/5/d/c/5dc6b7ccb1b9d28062501fedb66cfde5db9953e6.jpeg) Then I put the toggle on, and re-did the knot. ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/5/5/8/55834b06c51594659bdbbcf1078557247c312e2f.jpeg) Threw in my 888, and it was done. ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/c/2/1/c217e0a80ab2ba527351cd79ed0dac182b06b025.jpeg) It holds the 888 really securely, and it can open up to hold pretty much any size throw. The best part is, it doesn’t swing all over the place. I may go pick up a few more in the next couple days. Anyways, hope you enjoyed this little tutorial/public service announcement. (Props to the Bomb Squad for the spiked holster idea.) ---

What is the purpose of the spikes? ---

Just to add a bit of style. ;D You don’t need to have spikes on it, I just had some laying around and thought I’d put them on. ---

That looks really sweet actually. If I ever get tired of my old hair band and carabiner setup I’ll give that a try. ---

I’ve actually been using a paracord/toggle/carabiner for a while now, until I made this. 😛 I still use it, it’s just clipped to the front of my camera bag. ---
