Mandala Crafts 2mm Black Elastic Cords for Jewelry Making & Beading

Received sooner than expected. The cord was good enough for replacement elastic in a pair of ballet shoes and the color matched well. It could have been a little stronger, but it worked for the purpose and the price was great! Thanks!

I bought this elastic to use as around-the-head fasteners for cloth face masks. It is perfect. 1 have used 1mm cord on children's masks, but it feels a little too fragile for adult masks. The 2mm size is just what I was hoping for. It is strong enough to hold the mask firmly, stretchy enough to slip over the head easily, and is easy to tie securely. I make pleated masks with side channels, running a continuous loop of elastic through both sides long enough to have two loops behind the head. Depending on head size, you need 28" - 32" for an adult mask. That means you can make 90-100 masks out of this reel, for a cost of about $.15/mask. That seems like a good deal to me. I do not like masks with short ear loops (they just slide off my ears) but I don't think this elastic would work as well for ear loops. It is a little rough, and possibly not stretchy enough. But it was just what I needed for my design, and it arrived promptly.

I bought this for my PR style journal. It’s better than expected. Same quality as PR but cheaper. Highly recommend.

Works well for replacing strings on cat toys. I also double it up to replace straps on cheap safety goggles, which works unexpectedly well. Another use: A springy tether to retract kick slides on trumpets & cornets.

Purchased this elastic cord for making bracelets with the grandkids. This is a sturdy cord. It feels thick and coated. Cuts with scissors without shredding. The cord was very easy to hold and thread beads but the ends did start to fray after threading 10 beads. Did not try collapsible needle. Was easy to knot and did stay knotted. Elasticity is good (time will tell). Plan to purchase more cord in different mm, thickness. Note: Found it best to stretch cord before using.

6/6 add on. Just received my second order of this elastic and in just two days! It is my favorite for masks, easy to sew over...I’ve had corded elastic that was not as soft and stretchy as this and really messed up my bobbin but not this. I’ve paid way more for just 10-20 yds of that kind of elastic so this is a great deal. I didn’t measure it bit it’s a hefty amount and I’ve just used the last of my first purchase from March tho it was not the only type elastic I used but it made a ton of the 500 masks I donated, phew! If I need more this is where I’ll get it for sure. .Perfect for me to make masks for my local hospital right now...already made 62 and ran out... elastic getting hard to buy online. Took a week to get here, not too bad as usps shipping slower with all the online orders. Not a real tight elastic which is what you wAnt for them as they’ll be on longer periods of time so won’t cause headaches etc.

I agree with some of the other reviews that this isn’t the best for travelers notebooks. The elastic doesn’t have good recovery so it doesn’t hold the notebooks well, they tend to slip around because of how stretchy it is. It’s good quality, but did not meet my expectations.

I bought this cord to replace and/or add to the cord in my travelers notebooks. I actually ended up preferring this cord to the cord the notebooks originally come with. It's sturdy, attractive, well packaged, very easy to use, and the perfect size for a travelers notebook. I did notice this has ever so slightly more stretch it to than the cords the travelers notebook comes with, but that can easily be compensated for. It actually benefits more because I can easily have more expansions in my TN and not snag pages. So this is perfect! I'll order this in black too. Great buy!

Perfect, exactly what I needed for my leather journal.

Lo uso para hacer manualidades y si es muy práctico , el color es s fiel al que ofrecen y llego muy rápido

Compre este resorte, pero no es de buena calidad, no aprieta lo suficiente, se siente flojo lo hiba a utilizar par los insertos de unos Traveler's notebook, y no me sirven la información del producto decia que es de 2 mm de diametro, y es de 1.5, lo podria utilizar asi, pero no me funcionan, conciedero que con el uso, no van a durar mucho su elasticidad,

Genau wie beschrieben, nichts zu meckern.

Just the right size for scrapbooking.
