Mandala Crafts 2mm Cream Elastic Cord for Jewellery Making & Beading — 76 yd Spool, Durable Stretch

Mandala Crafts 2mm cream elastic cord is a soft, resilient round stretch cord designed for jewellery making, beading, and a wide variety of craft and repair uses.

Whether your bracelets have lost their snap or you need a dependable all-purpose cord for adult craft projects, this cream elastic string delivers steady stretch and long-term recovery. The cord combines a rubber core with a abrasion-resistant nylon jacket so it resists fraying, holds colour, and washes well. Supplied on a generous 76-yard spool, the 2mm thickness is substantial enough for heavier beads and functional uses while remaining easy to knot, thread, and finish.

How does this elastic cord perform for bracelet and necklace making?

The 2mm diameter gives this cord the balance of strength and suppleness many beaders need for wearable items. It stretches up to about double its resting length and springs back reliably, so finished pieces keep shape and fit. The soft outer jacket reduces bead wear and slides smoothly through holes with minimal snagging.

• Threads through most hole sizes for glass, ceramic, and wood beads
• 2mm thickness supports heavier or larger beads without sagging
• Strong knots hold; heat-treated ends help prevent fraying
• Abrasion-resistant jacket preserves bead finish and colour

Can this cord be used for sewing, garment, and home projects?

Yes — the cord’s stretch and durability make it useful beyond jewellery. It’s suitable for drawstrings, button loops, smocking, and other garment details where flexible strength is required. Outdoor or frequently laundered items benefit from the colourfast, washable construction.

• Works as drawstrings for bags, pouches, and backpacks
• Ideal for button loops, fitted-sheet ties, and lingerie accents
• Colourfast and washable for durable home or apparel use

What craft and repair tasks is the cord good for?

This cord is a versatile tool for hobbyists and makers: use it for keychains, bookbinding, traveler's notebook closures, macramé accents, and small repairs around the home. Its thickness and resilience make it handy for securing lids, hanging lightweight ornaments, or replacing worn elastic in accessories.

• Useful in gardening, gift wrapping, or securing cabinet doors
• Strong enough for small repairs like seat cover ties and lid retainers

How much cord is on the spool and how should I finish my projects?

The spool contains a continuous 76 yards of elastic cord, enough for multiple projects or production runs. The cord is easy to cut to length, tie securely, and finish with knots, crimps, or heat-sealed ends depending on your technique. For beadwork, double-knotting and a small dab of glue or a crimp bead provide tidy, long-lasting finishes.

• 76-yard continuous spool for many bracelets and craft pieces
• Cut cleanly with sharp scissors; ends can be heat-treated to seal
• Finish with knots, glue, or crimp beads for secure joins
• Storage on spool reduces tangles and keeps cord organized
