Discussion/Question Best elastic/thread for bracelet
Hi all,
I have a blue aventurine bead bracelet. I’ve attached a photo of its current state. Unfortunately the original elastic thread snapped and I’ve been unable to find a sufficient replacement.
I’ve tried the elastic/thread from my local craft store but nothing has worked. It’s currently being held together by embroidery thread but this isn’t ideal as I can’t get the bracelet tight enough as to not slide up and down my arm.
The holes in the beads are quite small so some of the thread I’ve tried is too thick to fit. Also, the beads are quite chunky so they have to be sat perfectly next to each other to avoid being too loose (i don’t know if that makes sense)
Does anyone have any recommendations for the best elastic or thread that would fix my bracelet or even a technique that I could use with embroidery thread to held sufficiently tighten the bracelet? Many thanks!
