Stretch Magic Elastic Beading Cord – Clear Color, 1mm in Diameter, 5-Meter (16.4 ft) - Easy to Knot, Strong & Stretchy String for Making Beaded Jewelry

I paid £15 for a beaded bracelet from Etsy and despite giving the maker my exact wrist measurement like they asked, it was very tight with hardly any stretch... and, of course, it broke and the beads scattered everywhere. I managed to retrieve them all and I bought this cord plus a couple of loose beads (to make the bracelet a bit bigger.) This cord is perfect. It threaded through the holes in all the beads easily, knotted well and it has made me a bracelet that actually fits. I had to buy a whole reel of the cord when I only needed 7.5 inches, but it's not expensuve and I'm sure it will come in handy for when another bracelet breaks. I might even buy some loose beads and make some.

This is a repeat purchase because the cord is strong, easy to work with and knots securely. It is ideal for making and repairing beaded jewellery.

I bought this for jewellery making as reading about it I expected it to be 'the one' elastic for jewellery making. Well it does seem to be strong & the quality is there, but I find it quite 'stiff' in bracelet making. The end result is not as stretchy as other brands I use. Maybe its just me but I definitely prefer more of a 'give' in my bracelets. It's pricey too, but I'm going to stick to my own tried & tested & trusted brand from now on. Personally I won't buy again - but a good exercise for comparison!

Arrived really quickly, great value for money. Has a great stretch to it, easy to use

Good product 👍

Strong stretch thread. Used on my bracelet I’ve worm continuously for nearly a year. Still going strong.

As described and easy to use! Never done anything like this before, but it was very easy

Disappointing- the first bracelet elastic that snapped on me and I have used lots

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.

Very nic product 👍 It is true in colour nd size it is 0.5mm I am happy to purchase this thank you amazon

I've been buying as many of these elastic cords/strings as I can find on Amazon and this one BY FAR is the winner. The strength astounds me. I will only buy stretch magic from now on. It also has the best appearance from other strings I have used. And since it's 0.7mm I'm able to thread all the gemstone beads I have. I'm very thrilled to finally find one I'm confident will last a long time. I made a brief review of the different cords I bought from Amazon on episode 5 of our podcast KeyesCast. I included a clip from it for this review.

Length of the string is so less ...stretch elastic is good but for the money string is so less.
