The Beadsmith Opelon Stretch Cord – Elastic Beading Fiber, White, 0.7 mm Diameter, 25 Meters (82 ft) Spool
OPELON FIBER: This stretchy jewelry string is made of a white fibrous material and measures 0.7 mm in diameter. The 25 meters are wound on a spool that is secured with a clear plastic clip to keep your cord secure and organized.
FLEXIBLE MATERIAL: Opelon is a flat fibrous cord with impressive stretch and resiliency. This latex-free material is strong, easy to knot, and doesn’t require crimps. Its flat shape makes it more flexible than traditional stretch cords and it maintains its elasticity over time.
INSTANT GRATIFICATION: Make fun and fast jewelry with this stretch cord. Using a big eye needle, simply thread your beads and knot—no need for advanced techniques or patterns. It's a great choice for beginner jewelry makers.
BEADING CORD: This elastic string is designed for easy jewelry crafting. Ideal for bracelets, necklaces, anklets, bead weaving, and other DIY projects. It works well with seed beads, gemstones, glass, crystals, wood, and plastic.
USER-FRIENDLY DESIGN: The spool format and clear plastic clip make handling and storage simple, reducing tangles and waste. Its design promotes a hassle-free, organized beading experience.
Opelon Stretch Floss The Stretchy Cord That Can Be Threaded Through A Needle Finally, the secret's out: you can churn out large quantities of stretchy bracelets and anklets - fast. How do those other jewelry makers do it? How do they sell stretchy bracelets so cheap, when it's such a pain to poke that clear stretchy cord through each bead one by one? Well, here's the secret. You Need TWO THINGS: First, you need the right kind of needle, called The Big Eye Needle (see our Tools.) Second, you need THIS FIBROUS STRETCH CORD! This cord has several advantages over that clear stretch cord; (1) it doesn't get longer and lose elasticity with wear, (2) it is more stretchy (hey, it's pure Lycra Spandex!), so it's ideal for making anklets that are small enough for an ankle, but can easily be stretched big enough to glide over a foot; and (3) it can be put through the right kind of needle! Oh and (4) it can be knotted and the knots will be small enough to hide inside a 4mm bead. Quantity: 25 meters (just over 82 feet unstretched.) Measurement: Approximately.7mm unstretched. Stretches thinner. Instructions for use: This cord is not suitable for very heavy beads, nor should it be used with beads with sharp or abrasive surfaces, such as some ceramic or metal beads. We have used it without any problems with metal spacers and glass beads up to 8mm. Do not use this thread with beads whose holes are so small that the needle must be forced, such as small pearls. Knot this cord to finish your bracelets, do not use crimp beads, as they will fray the cord.
