## Description

PEPPERELL-Stretch Magic Bead & Jewelry Cord. This clear cord is strong; stretchy; and flexible and can be used on all kinds of beading and jewelry making projects. This package contains one 100 meter (328 feet) spool of .5mm (.019 inch) clear beading cord. Made in USA.

Review: Works for my purposes - Good quality, but not as consistent as when it was American made.
Review: Fits almost every size bead, doesn't over-stretch or break - This worked unbelievably well! Came highly recommended by everyone online and I was skeptical. They don't lose their stretch.(You must pre-stretched the string before putting the beads on in order to ensure it does not overstretch once it's tied. ***As long as you make sure to tie one simple knot and then a two or three loop surgeons knot (with a little dot of super glue on the knot) these will not come undone or break. I've used many different strings and thicknesses. This is by far the most accommodating size and material. Will fit down to at least 3 mm beads. I don't have any smaller beads to verify anything less than that.

## Features

- STRETCH MAGIC BY PEPPERELL: Established in 1917, they began as a factory to produce shoelaces, which led to candle wicking and braided products.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is this easy to tie knots in?  Or how do you finish your jewelry using plastic cord?**
A: When your finished and are knoting the cord apply a small amount of super glue or super glue type adhesive to the knot. It will further secure it and stop the knot from slipping/undoing itself. I use a double sewing knot to secure all of the bracelets I make.

**Q: Would this work for necklaces? My daughter (10) creates jewelry using the glass or stone beads you'd find at Michael's.**
A: It's a jewelry cord, so why wouldn't it work? My niece uses this and it works for her jewelry-making. However, it breaks easy, so I wouldn't recommend it for things she may wear every day.

**Q: What is the cord made of?**
A: It is made of stretch plastic, on the spool it doesn't really say what it is called.

**Q: Will a double knot of this size fit inside a 4mm bead?**
A: yes
