Elonga is made exclusively for Beadalon (from United States). This is what they say: \"This unique stringing material is made up of several individual stretch strands bonded together for superior elastic properties. The multi-strand construction of Elonga gives a soft, silky drape and is ideal for lightweight beads...\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe personally recommend Elonga because it gives you a warning when the item needs re-threading. It 'sends out' little frayed pieces, which lets you know to re-string. Some other types of stretch elastic just 'pop' with no warning \u0026amp; your beads can be lost which isn't ideal if you have strung expensive crystals, pearls etc on your elastic!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTie your knot by making 3 simple ‘granny knots’ one on top of the other.  When purchasing at the counter, please ask our staff for one of our\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003efree TIP leaflets\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eon how to successfully knot Elonga elastic cord.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBead Shack doesn’t recommend using glue or nail polish over the top of the knot - Elonga brand needs nothing extra to hold the knot.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eTip:  Cut your elastic on an angle with\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca title=\"Use Bead Shack's extra sharp mini scissors to cut elastic with a clean snip to make your beading easier.\" href=\"https:\/\/www.beadshack.com.au\/collections\/scissors\" target=\"_blank\"\u003every sharp scissors\u003c\/a\u003e, which will create a point at the end, making it easier to thread through the holes of your beads.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cu\u003e0.3mm\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eis fabulous for stringing tiny holed beads such as freshwater pearls \u0026amp; tiny crystal beads.  It is thin enough to fit through the beads, but you may need to restring every 6 months to keep the elastic in good condition for your beads.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you just want some all-round elastic for lots of different applications, choose the\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e0.7mm\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eand then, if the beads are a bit heavy, you can always run a second thread through.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e1mm\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eElonga is fabulous for kid's beading as it's easier to handle \u0026amp; is nice and strong.  This size is also perfect for heavy  beads.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eTip:  For hard to thread beads, or bad eyesight \u0026amp; co-ordination, try using a\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cem\u003e'\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.beadshack.com.au\/collections\/needles\" title=\"Use our collapsible eye needles when you have trouble with eyesight and or coordination.\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eCollapsible Eye Needle\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cem\u003e' from\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cem\u003eour needles section\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e- you'll be amazed!\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBead Shack sells Elonga on 5m cards, in three sizes: .03mm, .07mm \u0026amp; 1mm.   The .07mm \u0026amp; 1mm  also come on a 25m spool.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cu\u003eWhen choosing your size, consider the size of the hole in your beads.\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Beadalon","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43765803057364,"sku":"133U-006","price":45.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0761\/5259\/files\/Elonga.7mm100mroll.jpg?v=1683092245","url":"https:\/\/www.beadshack.com.au\/products\/7mm-elonga-stretch-elastic-100m","provider":"Bead Shack","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
