Hi,
I have made some beaded bracelets using Beadalon Elasticity stretch cord (0.5mm).
Some of the bracelets have small beads (i.e 4mm and other 8mm).
I have been wearing the bracelets myself to see how well they wear, and over a period of time, the elastic seems to be stretching leaving gaps in between the beads.
Does anyone know why this is? Do I need to look at using a thicker cord (1mm is the heaviest on Cooksongold website), or could it be something else I am doing wrong?
I have been told Beadalon is the best quality, so not sure why this is happening.
I am completely new to jewellery making so would be grateful for any advice!
Thanks
