Stretch Magic is great for making bracelets because no clasp is required, and the finished piece of jewelry can be slipped on and off with great ease. The first thing to realize when working with Stretch magic is that the piece will stretch more with time, so you may want to make the band a little tight at first. Also, you can’t use crimp beads at the ends to secure the beads, so you’ll be tying knots. Therefore you’ll want to cut your piece of Stretch Magic four or five inches longer than the piece so that you have plenty of Stretch Magic left over for these knots.
It is also recommended that you use a drop of super glue on each knot so that they don’t come undone in the future.
