Things You'll Need

  • Stretch Magic cord

  • Scissors

Stretch Magic cord is an elastic cording that is commonly used to make jewelry, such as necklaces or bracelets. Because Stretch Magic cord can be slippery, a simple knot may come undone after you string the cord with beads. One solution is to tie the Stretch Magic cord using a square knot, which will enable it to remain tied, preventing the beads from falling off of the jewelry item after it has been created.
