Large, light and fabulous – these sizeable – 10mm and up – lightweight acrylic beads make for fun and easy to wear bracelets. Nothing fancy required – just stretch cord, our stretch cord needle, and you can whip up an armful of eye candy.
At 19mm – these big black and white beachball beads would be mighty weighty in glass or stone, but in acrylic – light as a feather.
Plus – the zebra stripe ones almost look like a scrunched fabric when strung together.
For a pop of color – go with these interestingly textured “crackle” in mixed colors. There are no wrong color combos, but you can go for an ombre effect – shading from blue to green, or from pink to purple.
I love the “Elastic Cord Needle” for fast and easy designing and threading on elastic.
If the hole is not big enough to pull the knot inside – then I hide the knot with a big, 7mm crimp cover.
For the stretch cord itself – my personal fave is Opelon – which comes in white and black.
