FANDAMEI 0.5mm Elastic Bracelets Strings Cord, Elastic Crystal Stretch Bead Cord for Jewelry Making, Clear Stretchy Elastic String Cord for Beading, Transparent Thread for Bracelet Necklace Making

Great for beeding and pretty strong.

I love this string because it's very clear, smooth, easy to cut, quite strong, and the stretch is resistant so it gives a snug fit. This snug fit gives long wear, even going through tough sleeves, yet comfortability. Not realizing the size hole going through my beads, I now know just how thick 1mm really is! 1mm might seem small but in certain beads it isn't. Now I know a good brand of string and with great quality!

This elastic was firm enough for beading AND stretchy enough for bracelets. Knotting is a challenge, though. I tied a knot and then used a match to melt the knot.

As advertised

I have a crystal beaded bracelet, made with kyanite and aquamarine beads, pretty heavy for beads, I think. So, it eventually broke. I gathered up the beads and proceeded to try to find something to string them along with. I ordered one brand from Amazon. That was way too stretchy. The beads just hung off my wrist. So I tried fishing line. That didn't give at all. I couldn't put it on my wrist once it was strung together because it wouldn't stretch at all. So I tried other brands of string cords. All to no avail. Finally, I decided to read purchaser reviews and I saw that there were negative review saying that this cord did not stretch enough! Well I thought, perfect! And purchased this one! - Eurika! I have my favorite bracelet back! (I will not create a negative review for the other brands I purchased, seeing that there are different cords for different purposes, and although they did not suit my needs, that's no reason to leave a bad review of the product!!!)

Great product.I will buy more.

I bought this string to get into beading, specifically beading kandi bracelets and cuffs. It works great for bracelets and ties off easily if you know what you're doing (the trick is to do a square knot and put something small like a pen in the middle of the knot to tighten it before fully closing it off).However, cuffs are a fully different story. This is my first time working with this kind of string so it may be a common occurance, but this string ties itself up into knots so easily when I take off too much string at once and I can never actually tie a knot when I need to. Somehow this string managed to make better knots than I could!! And I can't even think about tying off the cuff without some glue on hand, cuz no matter what I do I can't tie it off without it coming apart!So in general it's good for bracelets if you're fine with compromising but I'm gonna be trying out other brands for cuffs.

Good
