- Stretchy Cord Bracelets are super easy to wear, and easy to make! We LOVE them at The Bead Gallery, because it allows us to wear our most favorite beads, and still have the quick and easy option to cut it apart if we want to make something else. AND in the meantime, our most beautiful beads can be admired and enjoyed!

0:00 Introduction
0:17 Step 1: Cut two 2-foot pieces of cord.
0:20 Step 2: Fold the pieces of cord in half, and tie the four strands together with an overhand knot to keep the beads from falling off the cord.
0:24 Step 3: Clip the knotted end of the four strands to a clipboard to help keep the tension in the cord.
0:32 Step 4: Use 6 inches of fishing line as a needle. Alternatively, may use a piece of thread or a collapsible big eye needle.
0:46 Step 5: Start by stringing on a big hole bead first, in order to hide the knot later.
0:52 Step 6: Continue to string on beads. If the bead holds are small, stretch the cord slightly, and pull the bead over the “thinned out” cord. Do not tug the fishing line, as that will weaken the cord. Hold the stretchy cord, not the fishing line, when pulling the beads down.
2:04 Step 7: Once all the beads are strung on the cord, push all of the beads down towards each other.
2:17 Step 8: Size the bracelet around your wrist. Allow for a little extra, because the beads will snug up after you tie the knot and take all the slack out of the cord, and it will end up fitting tighter than you expect.
2:32 Step 9: Re-insert your fishing line through loops.
2:38 Step 10: Slide all of the beads towards the fishing line.
3:24 Step 11: Once, all of the beads are pushdown, cut away two of the cords.
3:28 Step 12: Insert the two cords into the end. You can use the fishing line as a needle to pull the two cords through the loop, so that you end up with two ends running through the bead and two ends clipped to the clipboard. Remove the cords from the clipboard.

Hi, thank you for sharing this great tutorial. I have a question...where can I purchase those stretchy cords? I have not seen colored stretchy cords like those. I can only find clear, black, & gold stretchy cords in craft stores where I live. Thank you
We import our stretchy cord from our friend in Hong Kong who creates high-quality gemstone stretchy bracelets for the Japanese market! Get them here: thebeadgallery.com/shop/stretchy-cord-spools/ . Mahalo, Ellie
Hi, thank you for your quick response. I will be contacting you soon🤙🏽
I just clicked on this link & it says this web page is not found. I'm really interested about your stretchy cord.
Hi Thank You for Sharing.. It's hard to watch you do your beautiful bracelet because that Gorgeous Heart Ring was My distraction lol Omg I love that Ring.. Truly Appreciate You For Sharing
Thank you for watching! I hope you are a recent subscriber and enjoy our future videos. Much aloha! Jamie ❤️
I stopped by the shop this afternoon to buy this wonderful stretchy cord. This tutorial is great, and this cord is like nothing I've seen at the various crafts stores on Oahu or even Walmart's craft dept. This stretchy cord is a game changer. It's simply amazing.
Just used this video to teach a med student how to fix his own bracelet --- I gifted him a spool of the stretchy cord and "needle".
Good tip at closing of your video.
Wow!! I love your way of making a stretch bracelet..I'm switching over the next bracelet I make..love your channel so much ♡ Thanku

What kind of bracelet is Jamie wearing and what method of stringing was used?
Thank you for sharing such useful and very secure way to work on the beads without worrying it falling apart!
You are very welcome! We think it's a great technique too! Michelle, who's been with The Bead Gallery for 18 years, wears her stretchy cord bracelets running, in the shower and to bed, so we definitely stand behind our product and the technique :) Aloha!
The cord can be found here: thebeadgallery.com/shop/stretchy-cord-spools/
We do not make those kind of necklaces, but if you send us an email, we could take a look at it. Our email is info@thebeadgallery.com .

Hi. I love your videos! What stretchy cord are you using..brand and size, please?
hi, i love your bracelets. what size bracelet to make a newborn girl?
Aloha...just came across this video and love it. i hope you still see your messages and can let me know the size of the gemstone beads and the gold big hole spacer beads? thanks
Hi hi! Sorry for not replying sooner, just saw this in my inbox! We usually use 8-12mm for our stretchy cord beads, and 6 - 8mm spacers! If you need assistance finding appropriate ones on our website: thebeadgallery.com please use our chatbox on the homepage and we will be the ones answering! aloha!
If you are making stretch bracelets to sell, what is the average length you should make them? Thank you.
What size are and the name of the bead on each side of the focal bead? Thanks
What is the device called that is holding the bead cord?
I wonder if he'll attend TGBE with me .... he will learn something!
what thickness is the stretch cord
Hi Brenda! The cord we use is quite thin, about .6 to .8mm. You can see them here: thebeadgallery.com/products/stretchycord-spool?_pos=2&_sid=704997115&_ss=r
Don't you pre-stretch before making the bracelet?
Hihi! No, we don't prestretch. :) Aloha!
What is that device holding the cord. Thanks
Maybe that is why my bracelets always break on me I don't roll now I know but with PiXiu you can't roll that beast.
Yeah, those non-rollable beads can be tricky! Aloha!
