1. An elastic assembly comprising:
a first layer of material having a lengthwise direction and a crosswise direction;
a second layer of material having a lengthwise direction and a crosswise direction;
a plurality of first bond points bonding the first and second layers of material together and being formed in a first rectilinear column, the first bond points being spaced apart from one another in the lengthwise direction of the layers of material, each first bond point having a first crosswise side and an opposite second crosswise side;
a first elastic strand disposed between the first and second layers of material,
wherein the first elastic strand is positioned on the first crosswise side of a first one of the first bond points and is positioned on the second crosswise side of a second one of the first bond points; and
wherein the plurality of first bond points trap the first elastic strand between the first and second layers.
