Adjustable bracelets

Hi
Anyone got any thoughts on how to make adjustable bracelet fastenings?
I'm making some lovely loomed pieces, but I'd like to make them for
sale, which means they need to fit different wrists. So far I can only
think of using elasticity (Stretch magic) instead of thread to fasten
the t-bar to the piece, with a few extra beads on the elastic. Would
probably work with Size 8 beads, though I've yet to try it. If anyone
has a tried and tested, I'd be pleased to read it!
All the best

The clasp lady on Uk ebay sells various width clamp ends and then you
can use a chain and hook fastener

Thanks Shirley, useful stuff

Doh! My findings knowledge is limited to what's in my bead suppliers
catalogues!!! So much research to do and so few hours in the day, it
ain't fair. Will try the hook and chain idea soon. Thanks for the help.
Like your full name, btw

I don't know whether this will help, since I'm not a beader/macrame
person (but I *do* like pretty things)! I saw a recent episode of the
Carol Duvall Show on HGTV, where the artist made a polymer clay beaded
bracelet with an adjustable closure that employs macrame (using a cord
called Conso)! There's a link for the vendor at the bottom of the page.

I thought this was cool, especially for the fact that the sizing is
adjustable, and you don't need help to put the bracelet on!!!


Cheers,

You could try to add another loop on the end of the other loop.

THanks

Kerry uses beaded toggles with a series of loops to make different lengths.
Just cut off the extra loops when person figures out the right size.
