Easier to pass through the eye of a needle

Seems to work. Now I just need to wrap everything up. I’ll get out my old sewing kit which should have some strong black thread in it.
Except it doesn’t.
Irony! I just gave away a huge bunch of sewing equipment last month.
It does have some black thread. It just doesn’t look very strong. Or I can use the white thread that does look strong.
I do have a black marker…
