Hello! You asked about stretch cord tips. My go-to is Stretch Magic. It is strong and durable and is chlorine and ultra violet light resistant. It comes in different sizes. .5 is good for lighter weight beads with smaller holes, i mostly use .7 for medium wt beads, and 1mm-1.5 mm is good for larger, heavier beads. It is recommended that you pre-stretch the cord before stringing to keep your bracelet from stretching out. It is more difficult for it to hold a knot than other brands, so I recommend first tying a half knot to connect the ends and pull them tight, then tie 2 double half knots together, (Surgeon's Knot) to secure the bracelet. I always dab a little G-S Hypi cement to the knot, and secure the knot inside a bead. Let the knot dry before cutting off the ends. I have seen Wendy use crimp beads, but they didn't work for me, as the crimps would cut the cord. That's why I prefer knotting. Hope this helps! Love your tutorials!
