Stretch Magic Elastic Beading Cord – Clear Color, 0.5mm in Diameter, 25-Meter (82 ft) - Easy to Knot, Strong & Stretchy String for Making Beaded Jewelry

This string wouldn't be ideal for professional jewelry makers, but it's perfect for children's beading. This particular roll features a clear color which the kids seemed to be a huge fan of- as it turned invisible once the beads where on it. We used pony beads, small seedbeads would be too small for this string. But for seed beads it was perfect. It's firm enough for kids to easily use. It's not flimsy so they can hold it still and easily put the beads on. The firmness is good- but it doesn't streth that much. It stretches enough for bracelets to fit over the hand and necklaces to fit over the head. But it will break if it's pulled too hard. It doesn't tie very easily either, so if you are making children's crafts you will be making a lot of the knots for them. I knotted each bracelet for times and pulled tightly each time just so the tie would stay. It's a bit hard to get it to not unravel itself, so you need to tie it tight- again without pulling so hard it breaks.Other than that though, this string is absolutely the easiest material for kids to work with. It fits through beads easily and stands firm when it's heald upright- so the beads can easily slip on. It's clear and hides benith the beads easily. Overall, my kiddies got to make a bunch of lovely jewelry and this string was a great buy. When I run out, I'll be back for more.A few tips:Tape one side of the string onto a table, this will keep the beads from falling off. Then when the kids are finished untape the string and tie it.When you tie the string double knot it. Then tie it two more times, but pull the elastic and let it snap back and fourth a few times with each not. This will ensure it doesn't unravel and fall apart.Pony beads work great with this product and I highly reccommend the big bags of them.If you have a bunch of kids- like a camp like I do- this string is enough for I would say 100 kids to make 2 bracelets each. I had 20 over, each made 3 to 4 bracelets, and we only used half the string.

I broke a beaded bracelet and wanted to fix it myself. I watched a video, then bought the supplies. This works great, is good quality, and a low price. My bracelet is fixed perfectly now.

My partner loves to make bracelets, and this is basically the only string she likes to use now. It is strong and durable, has a good stretch to it, and the clearness is fantastic on finished bracelets.She highly recommends this string.

The best string for bracelet making! The knot doesn’t slip and the string doesn’t break! Won’t buy another sting ever again!

I purchased five of these to make up some jewelry, however, you will definitely have to double thread these items because this thread let’s go easily. The durability is just not there.

This is my favorite product when making stretch jewelry. It holds up well and is always top quality.

Great for my five year old to bead bracelets. Doesn’t break easily when he pulls to take it on and off. Fairly easy to tie but I do tie with atleast double knots. It stretches nice to remove. I was worried it would be too big for the beads to fit on but all the beads we bought so far fit into this.

Good!

Uso muchas pulseras de elástico, y vivo en un clima caliente y húmedo. Veremos cuanto tiempo dura. Los que he usado anteriormente se secan muy pronto y se revientan las pulseras.

This stretch magic has VERY good strength in the 1mm size. It stretches and holds its original length very well in bracelets. This is exactly what I’ve been looking for!

This works so well for making bracelets as it should....that's what it's purpose is.😊

The item is yellowed and does not retain stretch. I wish the seller would respond to inquiries. First time I ordered it was excellent, now it’s useless.
