I've used Stretch magic and wasn't thrilled with it. My neighbor only likes stretchy bracelets. Not toggles or clasps. She had one break and asked me about fixing it. Is there any other kind of good stretchy stuff for stringing?

I've heard the new Elasticity stuff from Beadalon is very, very strong.

Thanks Barb, I'll look into it.
You might also try something called "Gossamer Floss". It looks like dental floss, but is stretch and very strong. The only problem I've had is some of my stretch bracelets are more complex and I find if you work it too much, it sometimes starts to fray, but I haven't had any problems with breakage. I actually have an anklet on that I've had on all summer to test it and it's great. (I'm in and out of my pool with it on about 5 times a day). I'd say I'm pretty happy with it and its not overly expensive.
Hope this helps!

Thanks Lisa! I'll look that up. This is something simple, so I wouldn't be worry about the fraying.
I want Lisa's life (in and out of the pool five times a day!!!!!)

LOL - I know, but I can't get anything done!
I'm trying to get ready for craft shows, but we just got this pool and I have two young children, one of whom is handicapped, so I can't leave them alone. And they won't leave me alone when I try to keep them out of it so I can work! I'm not even sure I'll have enough product for the shows. I'm new to shows and a nervous wreck!
I just keep telling myself that summer will be over soon enough and then I'll be all alone again during the day :) :)
