Frequently asked questions about the collection: elastic & elasticity

Q: can this be used for pandora style bracelets
A: Sure, pandora bracelets are usually quite bulky though, so you could use a couple of strands, you could even plait the elastic.

Q: Hi, I've purchased elastic elsewhere and its VERY stretchy, it seems a little too stretchy. I usually use wire but would like to use elastic on some projects, can you give me some advice please?
A: If the elastic you have seems too stretchy then it may be disconcerting but there shouldn't be a problem as long as it snaps back to it's original length and doesn't sag when you put beads on it. Elastic is great for simple bracelets and light necklaces, something that you just want to pull on and off. Check out the elasticity used in the bracelet in this project www.beadsunlimited.co.uk/projects/beads-beyond-designer-challenge/148 If in doubt always use the thick elasticity, it's 0.8mm thick so it's still thin enough to thread through most things but it's way stronger and longer lasting.

Q: I have bought some elasticity to repair my daughters bracelet, how do I tie it so that it does not slip undone
A: The trick with elasticity is to make a couple of tight knots and then seal them with a dab of clear nail varnish or superglue. This seal will stop the elasticity from slipping apart and gradually coming undone.

Q: What is Elasticity made of? I am looking for something latex free.
A: It's latex free, it's a mixture of polyester and polyurethane.

Q: What is the best elastic for simple bracelets
A: For simple bracelets you can use our cotton covered elastic as this is secured with a simple knot or can use elasticity which we recommend knotting tightly then applying a dab of glue or clear nail varnish to secure.

Q: What would be the best product out of these to use when threading beads for a bag charm or key ring? :-)
A: It depends on the beads etc. being used really, Elasticity is finer than elastic (so better with small holes) but elastic is easier to tie securely.

Q: Would you say that elastic is ok to string crystals? or would they cut through the elastic?? Thanks
A: Crystals shouldn't cut through elastic, unless they have particularly rough edges around the hole. The type of elastic you want to use will depend on the size of the crystal, something like the 4mm Swarovski bicones have pretty small holes so you wouldn't be able to use the coloured cotton covered elastic, you'd have to use elasticity (thick EYK is fine!).
