Jewellery School. Elastic Beading Cord
#v12274
Elastic beading cord guarantees success. It is easy to use and the result is stunning. Even if you do not know the circumference of the wrist of the person for whom the bracelet is intended, you can easily make a bracelet that fits. It is quick and easy to put on and take off and therefore there is a good chance that it will become a favourite piece of jewellery. Elastic beading cord is available in various thicknesses, but basically choose as thick a cord that can go through the hole of the bead.

How to do it Download the templates/recipes
1 Thread the beads onto a piece of beading cord, attach a peg or a clip on the end to prevent the beads from falling off.
2 Make a reef knot: tie half a knot on the elastic beading cord by crossing one end of the cord under and back over the other end of the cord.
3 Place the cord on the left over and under the cord on the right (tying another half knot). Pull together to tighten the reef knot. Tie another knot so that the bracelet is fastened with a total of three knots.
4 Pull the beading wire apart to either side to tighten the knot. When you let go, the elastic locks itself.
5 A TIP:
Apply a small blob of Super Attak Instant Glue onto the knot, just for safety's sake.
6 Cut off the excess beading cord. Hide the knot inside the last bead.
