Using strech cord.






When using stretchy cord, it is important to use beads
that have smooth holes, as rough or jagged holes can
nick
and weaken the cording. Select a gauge of stretchy cord that will slide easily through the holes of your
  1. Measure and cut the cording at least 4” longer than the desired length of your
    finished design.
  2. Tying a simple
    overhand knot
    Secure one end of the cording with a piece of transparent tape.
  3. String on beads in your desired pattern.
  4. Finish your piece by tying a simple overhand knot.
  5. Add a small dab of glue directly on the knot.
  6. Cut the excess cording as close to the knot as possible.
       Using Cord Ends
(Leather, Suede, Fibers and Thicker Cording Materials)
  1. Place one end of your cording in the channel of a cord end.
  2. Use your chain nose pliers to flatten one side of the cord end down onto the
    cording.
  3. Repeat step 2, flattening the second side of the cord end down on top of the
    first.
  4. Thread a split ring onto the hole at the end.
  5. Thread one side of your desired clasp onto the split ring. Repeat steps 1-5 to complete the second side.
Quick-drying, Clear Glue
Applying a small dab of glue to the end of a knotted design protects the knot
from coming undone. Look for tubes of glue with a precision applicator tip.
