I am making a bracelet which is double stranded so uses 2 pieces of the cord.

Knots do not work. I can pull them apart. How would using crimp tubes work?

Hope you can help.

Thank you, Lynnda Giddings

Making A Double Strand Stretch Bracelet

by Renee

What is the technique to make a double strand stretch bracelet? I am making a bracelet with tiles so there are two holes in each tile. Do I use two strands of stretch cord or just one? How do I finish (tie) the piece together? Any help would be appreciated! Thanks.
