Summer is coming. It is a best season to wear jewelry pieces. You can enjoy the beauty which is brought by the Necklaces, bracelets and earrings. Apart from jewelry beads and jewelry findings, elastic cords are essential for making necklaces and bracelets.

Elastic Cords, the cords are springy, are normally used to make necklaces and bracelets without clasps. These cords come in a variety of colors, such as black, red, white (clear), orange, fuchsia, blue violet, sky blue, pink, dark brown, hotpink, gray, green, golden, dodgerblue, silver, purple, brown and so on. They also are available in many different sizes, from 1mm to 6mm. You can choose different colors and sizes according to your needs.

Elastic cords also called stretch cords and/or elastic wire. The thin diameter makes it much easier to slide it through beads than using a thicker cord. It is easy to work with and can be used with any type of beads.

Elastic necklaces and bracelets are a great way to begin jewelry making. If you have ever thought that you might enjoy making jewelry but have been reluctant to try it, learn how to make elastic necklaces or bracelets first. They are simple and fast and look beautiful when they are finished.

When you start to make a necklace or bracelet, measure the necessary length of the cord and cut. Then tread the needle by putting the elastic cord through the big eye needle and holding the end of the cord with about 1 inch or so extra cord at the end. Slide the beads onto the cord. The needle will be very useful at this time which makes it easier to get the beads on the cord. String the beads according to the preferred design pattern. Tie the ends of the cord in a knot once all the beads are in place. If making a necklace, take the two ends and form a loose square knot. Add a drop of jewelry glue to the center of the knot and then pull the knot tight.

Use caution when working with elastic cord. It can easily be cut by sharp edges, so use beads that are rounded and make sure the crimp beads do not have jagged edges to prevent breaking your jewelry.
