Is there any website or brick and mortar store where I can get those little black drawstring bags?

In My Humble Opinion
1

I almost hesitate to ask this, lest I grow a reputation for asking about unusual or weird small consumer products, but once again I look to the SDMB.

This time I’m looking for small black drawstring bags like this, which I use for one very specific and peculiar purpose. It seems the people who manufacture Bluetooth headsets have all determined that there must be a ridiculously bright LED that blinks on and off continuously, whenever the headset is in use. This is very annoying at night, even if I’m by myself, so I fasten the bag around the casing that houses the battery and controls, and that eliminates the problem. (I used to put black electrical tape over the LED, but that raised the issue of not being able to see the light to confirm it was charging, when needed.)

When I still used to buy wired headsets, many of them would come with a bag for storage, and I used to have several of them. Now I’m down to my last one, and if I lose that, it’ll be back to the black electrical tape for me. And why do I only have one bag left? Yes you guessed it–I lost the others.

So what I’m looking for is either of the following:

[ul]
[li]A store or website that sells the bags, either singly or in reasonably small batches, like a dozen[/li][li]A cheap-ish ($20 or less) wired headset known to ship with one of the bags. (You can’t tell from looking at the packages, and the store employees don’t know either.) The idea is that it shouldn’t cost more than I’m willing to pay, considering that I wouldn’t be using the main product at all.[/li][/ul]

Something like this?

Look at jewelry or beading websites. They often have small bags for their pieces. I have seen black velvet ones, for sure. You can probably buy them in bulk.

ETA, American Science and Surplus has odd items.

Wish.com has small drawstring bags for $1 each.

Check your local gaming store. Not every nerd uses a Crown Royal bag.

A Crown Royal-sized bag would be much too large.

Another photo including a tape measure:

For anyone old enough to remember the Chiclets-like chewing gum that came in those little white bags, that’s the size of bag we’re talking about.

Velvet dice bags.

Take your pick.

ETA: Various sizes. There’s a 3.75" x 4" one at the bottom.

They still sell that gum. It is gold nuggets. Go buy a bunch of that. Hobby Lobby will have tiny bags.

Thanks for all the answers so far; I wouldn’t have thought of any of these possibilities.

If I can’t find anything smaller, the 6x12.5 D&D dice bags will probably work.

Wow, that takes me back! I never actually got into D&D beyond going along to play a couple of times, but I did get into LOTR around the same time and I’m still very much into that.

Sorry, I’ve never seen Chiclets or the like in bags. If you need really small bags, try these. I used them for a project at work, and they were pretty decent quality.

Link. Link.

I bought some of these recently to put flash drives in to keep them from rattling in my glovebox:

Another option. These come in a number of different sizes. Not velvet, if you want to go in another direction.

If you’re just trying to dim the LED, you might want give Lightdims a try. They’re plastic stickers that dim LED lights to different degrees. They can be applied one on top of another for different dimming properties. Two of the black ones will completely block all light, but you can offset or poke a pinhole of the top one to let a little light through.

I’ve been using them for years and use them on almost every with with an LED indicator light.

I get bags like that here:

All sizes,materials and reasonable prices.

Never run out again.
