Product Summary

The secret behind comfortable, professional stretch bracelets. Opelon is a top-quality elastic beading fibre from The Beadsmith – this black cord measures 1.2mm across and comes on a 5 metre (16.4ft) spool.

Key Features

  • Black elastic beading fibre
  • 1.2mm diameter
  • 5 metre (16.4ft) spool
  • Strong, smooth and knot-friendly

Uses

Perfect for stretch bracelets, elastic rings and anklets – especially designs with larger-holed beads like lava stone, wood and ceramic.

Benefits

Opelon holds its stretch far longer than cheap elastic, so bracelets keep their snap wear after wear. It knots securely and the black colour hides the knots beautifully.

FAQs

What glue works on the knots?
A dab of GS Hypo Cement or similar secures knots permanently.

What bead hole size do I need?

  • 1.2mm cord suits beads with holes of about 1.5mm or larger.
  • Does it fray when cut?
    Cut cleanly and it holds together nicely for threading.
