What is elastic ribbon?

Elastic ribbon is a stretchable stringing material for making bracelets. Thanks to this band, the homemade bracelet is stable and very easy to pull over the wrist. To make sure that the band doesn't come undone by itself, we explain here how to knot your bracelet. Elastic band is often also called silicone band.

What are the different elastic bands?

Griffin Jewelry Elastic Cord
In our online shop we offer elastic bands in three different variations.
The most used and most popular elastic cord is a quality product from Griffin. The so-called "Griffin Jewelry Elastic Cord" is available in three different diameters: 0.5 mm, 0.7 mm and 1.0 mm. So you can always choose the right cord for your chosen beads and pendants. It is important that the hole diameter of the beads and pendants is not smaller than the diameter of the Griffin band. If you plan to make a large number of bracelets yourself, we recommend ordering the ribbon on a large roll. You can get the individual ribbons from us in lengths of 5 metres, 25 metres and 100 metres.
Did you know that Griffin ribbon can be stretched up to 2 times its original length?

Beadalon Elasticity
We also offer an elastic ribbon from Beadalon. This tape can be ordered with a diameter of 0.5 mm, 0.8 mm or 1.0 mm. We offer the beadalon ribbon in rolls of 5 metres.

If you are just starting to make your own jewellery and are looking for a cheaper alternative, we recommend our inexpensive elastic ribbon with a diameter of 0.8 mm. The roll contains 8 metres and is available in black and transparent.

How can I make my own bracelets with elastic ribbon?

We have already shown you how to knot your bracelet so that it does not open again. But before you close the bracelet, of course you have to thread on the beads and pendants. Threading the beads is very easy. The elastic band is simply pulled through the openings of the respective beads. If you decide to add a pendant to your bracelet in addition to the beads, the first thing to do is to thread it onto the bracelet. A pair of binder ring pliers is very helpful for this. With the binder ring pliers you can bend the binder ring open and then hang the eyelet of the metal ring and the pendant in it. And your pendant is ready and can be threaded onto the bracelet.
