I am not really fond of stretch bracelets. You know, the kind where you use beading elastic. They do eventually break and have to be restrung. I inevitably change over to beading wire at first opportunity! However, I changed my mind after seeing the
tutorial by Jennifer VanBenschoten over on
Beading Daily. Her way of making a stretchy bracelet more durable as well as her tips all makes sense.
She uses a doubled up length of elastic with only 2 ends to deal with. This is a good thing because if you use 2 lengths of elastic, you'd have 4 ends!
Her instructions are for a tasseled mala bracelet. If tassels are not your thing, then this tutorial still works if you substitute the tassel for a charm or a bead.
