Default Stretchy String

I've used Stretch magic and wasn't thrilled with it. My neighbor only likes
stretchy bracelets. Not toggles or clasps. She had one break and asked me
about fixing it. Is there any other kind of good stretchy stuff for
stringing?

I've heard the new Elasticity stuff from Beadalon is very, very strong.

You might also try something called "Gossamer Floss". It looks like
dental floss, but is stretch and very strong. The only problem I've
had is some of my stretch bracelets are more complex and I find if you
work it too much, it sometimes starts to fray, but I haven't had any
problems with breakage. I actually have an anklet on that I've had on
all summer to test it and it's great. (I'm in and out of my pool with
it on about 5 times a day). I'd say I'm pretty happy with it and its
not overly expensive.

Hope this helps!

Lisa
