The STRETCH MAGIC brand elastic is perfect for natural stone and glass beads. We recommend the Stretch Magic brand because it is strong, durable and affordable! Stretch Magic is available in 3 thicknesses: 0.5 mm, 0.7 mm and 1 mm. This elastic cord is our bestseller for men's bracelets. We recommend a cord thickness of 0.7 mm or 1 mm for these bracelets. You make surgical knots (from 2 to 8) to tie the bracelet. In some YouTube videos they also say to put glue on the button, this is something we do not recommend. Glue can have a chemical effect on the wire. Stretch Magic is made in the USA.

If you need elastic for seed beading or bead weaving, it is better to use MIYUKI elastic (it is used with a split needle).

Keep your elastic cord in a cool, dry place
Storing your elastic cord in a place where it is exposed to sunlight and heat can damage the strength of your cord.
