Elastic cords are durable and flexible strings made from rubber, nylon, or spandex, which give them a stretchable quality.
These cords come in black and feature a smooth and flexible outer surface with a strong and resilient core.
Their elasticity makes them ideal for various uses, such as securing hair.
How to Use Elastic Cords:
-
Jewelry and Accessories:
- Elastic cords are commonly used for making bracelets, necklaces, and beaded jewelry. Simply thread beads onto the cord, tie a secure knot, then trim any excess.
- For added durability, a small drop of glue can be applied to the knot.
-
Exercise and Stretching:
- Some thicker elastic cords serve as resistance bands, which are used for stretching and light workouts.
-
Bundling and Organizing:
- Use elastic cords to secure loose items together.
- Wrap the cord around items and tie a knot, or use pre-made loops if available for easier wrapping.
-
Securing and Stitching Ends:
- Tie or sew the ends to keep them securely in place.
Tips for Using Elastic Cords:
- When tying knots, use secure knots like square or surgeon’s knots.
- Avoid overstretching to maintain elasticity and prevent damage.
- Store in a cool, dry place to prevent the material from deteriorating.
