You probably just saved me a lot of embarrassment. I've always been skeptical about stretch bracelets and now I realize the mistakes I've been making. I haven't had any disasters yet, but I was about to release a large new line and they almost certainly wouldn't have lasted long. Thank you!
Thank you for this video. I used to string beads as a kid, it was a fashion statement back in the days. Now, that I am 73 years of age, I would like to start again, but was afraid my elastic would break. Thanks to you I can start making bracelets again!
I am 73 and learning to bead for a local school's "Santa's Workshop" and ready to take the plunge! Thank you for this information..you are very talented. 😉😊
You're going to love beading!
Best instructions to make and secure a stretch bracelet. Thank you.
Hi Kat!! This is the best video on stretch bracelets that I have ever seen! I shy away from these bracelets cuz 1 time my customer tried hers on and it broke but it was a very very old elasticity so I assume that is why it broke! I especially love your doubling of the cord! I myself have elonga in colors and in black and white.8mm close enough to yours! I really really appreciate your time and sharing your tips and tricks with us! This has helped me out tremendously as I’m now going to make a holiday stretch bracelet!! Many hugs 🤗🤗🎄🤗and many thanks 😊 from Melissa aka Made With Love 💜By:Mel from South Florida!!
What an amazing way to make a stretch bracelet! Absolutely love it will try this next time i make a stretch bracelet❤
Good job Kat ! Very clear !
I love the way you do bracelets.
Thanks for the awesome video! 🙂 Fun to watch and learn!
This was the best video I’ve seen on knot tying for stretch bracelets. Thanks!
I enjoyed watching your video and cannot wait to make my next stretch bracelet! You are a great teacher and I learned a lot about knotting and gluing.
Very helpful, thank you! 😊
Thank you for sharing, that’s my worse fear them breaking❤
Thank you this is so helpful! Subscribed.
Love the details and visuals! Excellent video! ❤
I've never seen a stretch bracelet finished that way before! I like it!
My little trick!
Best idea I have seen!
Thank you so much! I am so glad I found your site! Making bracelets for troops and you saved me hours of having to redo bracelets because of the wrong type of knots and glue,
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS!!!!!
Best instructions I've seen thanks so much ❤
Great idea. Thanks 😊
Thanks, you are so delightful & detail
Thanks so much, my bracelets kept coming apart and I couldnt figure out what I was doing wrong, but I guess it might be the glue or how long I let it dry for, I am guessing the later was my problem. I appreciate it so much for taking away my stress. I have 34 to make so I want to make sure it is secure before I give them out. Blessings
Thanks. I will try this.
Great lesson, thank you. Now I'm keen to try and get that stretchy bracelet secure.
I notice you did not suggest pre-stretching the cord. Is that not necessary with the Opelon?
It’s a lot of work to make sure they don’t break. I want to start adding these types o bracelets to my Shoppe. I did not want any breakage. Thank you for this
This is the best bracelet video I've seen! My daughter found my beads and make several bracelets, I broke mine within 2 days :( I thought it was the knot that I'd done, watching videos.... but the single elastic broke. I bought the 0.5mm elastic over 10 years ago, I don't know if it weakens over time (I have loads!!). But the idea of double stringing is great. She'll be selling some bracelets for fundraising, so I don't want them to break. Thanks for really useful video!
Love this thank you
Very helpful instructions
Thanks for the video
Awesome!!!😍
Thank you for this interesting video. I have subscribed.
Great video. I’m not familiar with this glue and I wonder how long it takes to dry. Planning to have making bracelets for my granddaughter’s birthday party.
Love, Love, Love this video it's brilliant 🤍🤍
Thank you for this clear video! I've tried this today but realized that I need a bead with large enough hole to hide that knot.
Sharing with friends!
I hate stretch cord because of trying to knot it this video was outstanding! Thank you!
I like this better then double looping it I notice the fibers started to thin the way I did it it’s similar to this but as I string I have the double thread already but at end using the loop inbetwen and tying each end there is small section where the fiber is thinner. n it it started to shreds rip tare
Nice video! TFS
Love this technique, thank you! So you never pre-stretch the Opelon?
What is the fabric on your table? Does it help the beads from rolling away? Is it felt?
Does the Opelon shred easily?
When you use Opelon, do you need to pre-stretch it?
I've been making bracelets like these with lava and wood beads for essential oils. My older son's keeps breaking and now I suspect it's the oils that eat through the opalon...? How do you recommend making these type of bracelets then? We see them for sale all over!
Awesome. I have tried crispers and can never get them to stay round looking after to match the beads. This was fantastic. I will use from now on. Thanks
This makes me want to restring all of my beaded bracelets and I don't even have this skillset. Beautifully presented. I might venture into making my own beaded necklace that the MLB players (Phillies - Jose Alvarado) has made for himself and his teammates are wearing. Thank you so much.
With that type of cord, do you need to pre stretch it? Thanks Kat
With the Opelon, you don't have to pre-stretch it. Another reason to love it. www.eurekacrystalbeads.com/opelon-stretch-jewelry-cord-white-0-7mm-5-meters/?aff=30
You don't pre-stretch the cord prior to beading?
I do.
Can you use a superglue or is that bad?
Mam at the end you are inserting tied part into the beads no.I find it difficult.
Where do you find your glue?
JOANN, Michaels,and Amazon
where do you get the cover on the spool
It comes on it when you buy the cord.
It's already on it when you buy the cord.
There is no way I can get a knot that big to disappear into 8mm gem stone beads. I’ve tried just doing the regular knot with the surgeons knot. The only way I’ve found is to use one spacer bead that has a larger hole. Have you used gemstone beads and been successful? Please if you have a way that works for those I would love to know. Thankyou for the video. It probably works very well for wood beads, or large beads with holes that are larger than 1mm.
I have the same problem. I have to really push the bead on top of the knot but I get glue on my fingers and it stretches the cord. Still looking for a good way to do this!
Square knot or granny knot? Half hitch and second half hitch. The difference between them makes ALL THE DIFFERENCE in stay or undone. Please instruct these.
Ive been told that using glue damages the beads. Is this not true?
you don't stretch the thread first?
I went to put the glue on, and I lost the knot
Why not simply string on a double strand? Why not use square knots? Thank you.
hello Mrs Kat love to see what you have for men
I can work that up!
Your doing too many knots for small beads....do you haveva way to knot for small beads?
My 4 knots are the same size as the beads next to it.
Have you thought about using a decorative bead with a larger hole?
Doesn't work and a huge knot.
I'm definitely gonna try this
Thank you ❤️ 🩷 😊 for the video.
