How to Use Elastic Cords to Make Jewelry

June 1, 2011 - PRLog -- -Anybody can learn it.
Elastic Cords are one of the most useful innovations in jewelry making, especially when they come to bracelets. Stretchy cord makes it easy to quickly put on and remove bracelets. As we all know that elastic cords come in a lot of colors, such as white, orange, red, fuchsia, blue violet, pink, black, golden, brown, and so on. So you have a wide range of selection according to your designs.

To make your own elastic bracelets, get the length just right, and learn how to stop cord ends from fraying. To the beginners, they may not clear about how to use elastic cords to string beads. Cut the length of cord you will need. Leave about six inches of cord at each end to have enough to work with when you tie knots by the end beads to secure them. You can also add crimp beads between the end beads and knots to prevent the beads from sliding off the cord. You may don't know how to tie knot either if you are new to jewelry making. In fact, it is very easy. Size the length of the cord to the person who is going to wear the jewelry to make sure that you have the right fit. Do it before you tie the end of the cord. Knot both ends of the cord. Tighten the knot so the beadwork or any decoration on the string will not fall off. Cut off any excess cord as close to the knots as possible. Make sure that you do not cut through the knot. You can add one or two drops of jeweler's cement on the tip of the knot to seal it in place.

Elastic cords can be purchased from offline stores and online stores. But if you would like to get a wide range of selection and a low wholesale price, I would like to suggest you to purchase them from online stores, for there are tens of thousands of wholesale online stores throughout the world. While, just because there are so many online stores, choose a reputable online wholesaler is very important as we all know that not all the wholesalers are at the same level. You can do a research on the internet. The wholesalers on the top of search results are not too bad. You also can ask for recommendation from your friends. Donald, a jewelry maker from USA said:" I have purchase some beads, finding and elastic cords from PandaHall.com. I was surprised by their quality-very good. And the prices are competitive. I will come back after I sold most of my crafts. I am a newbie to jewelry making, but I think I will expand my business in the near future as I have found my reputable supplier."

The competition of jewelry industry is so fierce that find a reputable suppler is quite important. Make sure you have done that. If no, please do it right now.
