Hello Angelofthenorth,

You are probably already aware of this, but if you double click our small video screens on here they will take you to a larger version on YouTube. It’s much easier to see what’s going on.

In answer to your question, when you say a single strand bracelet, do you mean just one string of beads or a netted bracelet as shown? If it is a netted bracelet it is best to start with a metre at a time to avoid tangles. If you need to add more, you can tie another piece on. If you put a dab of glue on the knot it will secure it. Remember to ensure it’s dry before you carry on beading!
If you meant literally just a single strand of beads, 25cm of elasticity is usually ample.
I hope this helps.

Alas, the little screens are far too small to see what’s going on. All I’d like to know is how to measure Elasticity for a simple single strand bracelet so that the elasticity doesn’t break.

That’s perfect, she’s wearing a beautiful dark red so it’ll match. Now I can get on with worrying about my hat!
