Stretch Magic Elastic Beading Cord – Clear Color, 1mm 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 recently used Stretch Magic string to make custom necklaces for baseball players, and I am beyond impressed with its durability! The string is incredibly strong and stretchy, making it perfect for creating jewelry that can withstand daily wear. I’ve made several necklaces, and not a single one has broken, even with regular use. It’s easy to work with, and I love how flexible it is—it holds knots securely without slipping. The stretchiness ensures the necklaces fit comfortably without feeling too tight. Overall, I’m extremely happy with this product and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a reliable, durable string for crafting jewelry!

Great product, good transaction and will purchase again.

So far, so good. I've already repaired 4 bracelets. Time will tell how they hold up, but they seem solid. I like the thickness, but be careful of the size beads you use. Some can be a bit tight getting on. I recommend this product.

Great for girls to make bracelets

Amazing cord for making bracelets. I make crystal bracelets which can be heavy, and this is the best cord I've found. Soo much stronger than anything you'll find in any big box store, I bought several. I got the 1mm and its perfect.

Great product.

This string is very strong! Much better than the previous brand I had as it literally fell apart in my hands. I can make my bracelets now!!!

Super elastiek

Le cordon élastique à l'air de bonne qualité et résistant. Pour bracelet de perles naturelles. A voir dans le temps .

Je suis créatrice de bijoux en pierres naturelles. J'utilise ce produit depuis des années pour sa solidité.

Bin sehr zufrieden tolle Schnur ideal zum basteln toller Armbänder. Bleibt auch schön auf der Rolle und wickelt sich nicht ab

I bought this because it is one of the most highly recommended stretch cords for jewelry-making among artisans. I needed something that can stand up to baths/showers (for hazelwood jewelry), & would not easily break. The polyurethane the cord is made of makes it resistant to corrosion from water, & very strong, not breaking down like so many of the cheaper cords. It stretches well, the beads thread through it easily, & it makes quality, long lasting bracelets. It comes in several gauges, but I opted for the thickest due to the nature of 24/7 wear for hazelwood jewelry. It's worth every penny.
