Seafoam Blue Stretch Bracelets

Versatile and easy to wear strong and statement-making, these stretch bracelets are a standout on their own or layered with your other favorites. Start by making your stretch bracelets with 0.8mm stretch magic. Cut a piece of cord the size of your bracelet adding at least three inches of elastic on each side to tie your knots. String your beads on the elastic while it is on the spool or use a ​bead stopper to avoid having the beads slip off the cord. Pre-stretch your cord by pulling on each end before stringing. The surgeon's knot is the most reliable knot for elastic bracelets. A surgeon's knot is a square knot (also known as a reef knot) with an extra loop through, the extra loop helps keep the knot from slipping. You can add an extra half knot on top of the surgeon's knot just in case and add a dot of glue or clear fingernail polish with each knot to secure. Enjoy :)
