I’m beyond confused on what I’m looking at
How’s your sewing skills? You could replace the elastic inside the stretchy bits or just give the whole thing a little tuck to make it a bit smaller so it fits tighter.
I’m not sure, but maybe you could use a clip on the side like a tie dye shirt, to keep the tension. Or maybe the wash and hot drier could shrink it, but idk the material
What’s the size of your monitor ? It’s possible that if it just suddenly started sagging out of the blue that the elastic band keeping it taut broke

Get your sewing game on. There are velcro strips you could attach to the fabric (sew that on), and use some double sided tape to attach the other half to the monitor. Or go extra and find velcro that already comes with a sticky backing (you’ll still need to sew one half onto the fabric though).
You could try the Velcro style command strips. I know people use them to hang quilts etc
I would either replace the elastic completely, or try to sew it somehow! I’d try gathering some of the fabric into each corner, making sure it’s even on both sides, and then sewing or pinning the gathered fabric into the corner. If that doesn’t work, replacing the elastic might be the only viable route, but it shouldn’t be too hard to do!
If it helps, any residue from stronger tape would prob come off relatively easy with Goo-Gone if you need to clean it down the road.
Stronger double-sided tape, maybe. The sort used for diy. Or sew it so its tighter. Or use a pin
Try blu tack 🙂
My instinct would be to put some Velcro on your monitor and on your wrap so it holds up. Not sure where you’d put it though w/ your cute stickers around the edge.
Get a bigger monitor? There are some really good 4k options out now, could be a good time to upgrade to bigger size and higher resolution.
I saw something once about boiling hair tied to reset the stretch. Not sure if it would work with this or not? They boiled hot water in a kettle and then poured it over the hairties in a bowl.
