Stretch Magic Elastic Beading Cord – Clear Color, 0.8mm in Diameter, 5-Meter (16.4 ft) - Easy to Knot, Strong & Stretchy String for Making Beaded Jewelry

Excellent for making bracelets, strong, durable and does not stretch out very much. Great product and would definitely purchase again.

Hard to break, and are great for bead bracelets.

I bought the 0.7 mm diameter stretch cord without checking to see how wide the holes in my beads were, but it turns out this was perfect. And you get so much of it! I won't have to buy it again for a long time.This is stiff enough that you don't need a needle, which is good, and it is very easy to use to quickly make stretch bracelets. In just 5 minutes, with a handful of gemstone rounds, you can have a finished piece. It is very easy to cut with scissors. To secure the ends of the bracelet, I tie a couple of knots and, just to be extra cautious, I put a dot of glue (several kinds will work) on the knot to hold it. You may want to avoid putting machine cut crystals or any beads with particularly sharp edges around the holes on this type of cord as the edges may cut into the cord over time. (Use Accuflex or memory wire to make bracelets with those types of beads, instead.)I used to use this product many years ago and I find that it holds up to at least several years of use, but that it does not last forever (whether the jewelry is worn every day or not). I accept that this is a property of all stretchy elastic type cords and, if a particularly favored bracelet gets a bit old, I do restring it. Polymers wear out over time, that's just the nature of them to do so. But this should get you several good years of use before you have to think about that.I find the 0.7 mm diameter cord to be sturdy enough to hold a whole bracelet's worth of gemstone beads, which are probably the heaviest beads I would ever use on this anyway. I have also used this to repair inexpensive commercial stretch bracelets that are not strung properly (it happens). Anyway, this spool will last me a very long time and this product appears to still have the same good quality of manufacture today that it did years ago.

We used this to make bracelets for a mission team to take to a third world country and it was strong and functional for our purposes.

The Stretch Magic Bead & Jewelry Cord is an excellent choice for making stretchy bracelets, necklaces, and other jewelry. The cord is durable, strong, and elastic, providing a perfect amount of stretch for easy wear. It holds beads in place securely and is very easy to work with, making it ideal for both beginners and experienced crafters. My only small downside is that it can sometimes fray at the ends when you're cutting it, so it requires a little extra care during handling. Other than that, it's a fantastic product that delivers reliable results. Highly recommend for jewelry makers!

Great quality and great pricing. Just the thickness I needed too. Easy to make jewelry with and durable. Very happy with my purchase!

Nice stretchy thread

This is the best string you can buy. It is very durable and easy to work with. I wouldn't use any other brand.
