Elastic Cord
[flex002_blac]

These are top quality latex free Power flex Cords which returns to its original shape after stretching. Perfect for use with transparent beads. High quality elastic is perfect for making bracelet with nothing to attach at the ends such as crimps or clasps or toggles. To learn the special knot using these elastic power cords. Simply cut around 15" of elastic power cord, match the ends so now you have double ends with a loop on the other side. Start threading your beads with both ends of the flex cord (this might be a little difficult if the hold of the bead is not big enough for both ends of the cord) as you thread the first bead, place a toothpick or any other long object on the other size , right inside of the loop, pressing the bead firmly so both the toothpick and the bead stay in place. Now thread the rest of the beads until the end as needed. Now take one end of the open cord, place it inside the loop which the toothpick holds, and tie a knot with the other end of the cord slipping the toothpick right out. Best would be to tie 3 knots. Cut off the remaining ends of the cord, leaving about 10mm of the cord from both ends. You may slip each end inside the bead right next to it, hence hiding the ends.
