Velcro is a brand name of fabric hook-and-loop fasteners."Velcro." The Oxford English Dictionary. 2nd ed. 1989. It consists of two layers: a "hook" side, which is a piece of fabric covered with tiny hooks, and a "loop" side, which is covered with even smaller and "hairier" loops.
A fastener for clothes or other items, consisting of two strips of thin plastic sheet, one covered with tiny loops and the other with tiny flexible hooks, which adhere when pressed together and can be separated when pulled apart deliberately

Velcro Flash Mod
A little...very little in fact...velcro modification I did to my Vivitar 285HV. I'm not entirely sure how well this will work on other flashes, but it works well on this with the lip.
I got the idea from a post that some one put on the strobist group about a similar item you could purchase for $10. I had a roll of the velcro straps that we use to bind network cables at work and cut off a piece to fit around the flash. You just have to make sure you pull it tight when fastening it so it doesn't slide around.
And there it is, a very cheap way of adding velcro to your flash that will not leave residue. I'm sure some one out there's probably tried this before or mentioned it.
Velcro edge and closing-up edge
I had to leave one edge of the blanket open to put the beanbag pellets inside. I used an applied binding to close it up after I got the pellets in. This is also another view of the hook edge of the velcro, with its protective flap.
