Here we go, If using new elastic measure the total length of poles and mark the elastic But do not cut.   Then re-thread the elastic with an opened out wire coat hanger or weight the end of elastic with fishing leads, blu tack or anything else you have available, A Rethreading kit includes a piece of wire. I am sure you will come up with something.  Most retailers do a kit that includes a retheading needle,actually a piece of wire and let gravity do the rest. When threaded pull through until you find your original mark on the elastic and tie off with just a little tension on it. Do not cut it yet.   Now test to make sure you can fold the poles and then you can cut.
