Quick tips For this kind of bracelet made with elastic cord, I always pick up beads with large holes (here:indonesian beads): I hide the knots and the tails in one of these beads, and I tried if it is possible to pass back the tails trough some beads for more security. The elastic cord must not be too thin because the glass beads are heavy. Your tools need to be always close by during your jewelry making project: a round nose plier,a flat nose plier, glue, scissors, cutter. Have a good working, light and a comfortable chair.
