I'm glad I was test wearing before just jumping into selling elastic bracelets. Selling something like this and having it fall apart would plainly suck! I'm not sure what I did wrong. I tied a square knot and added a touch of glue.
I have one that I was ready to finish off, but now I'm going to have to figure something else to do with it.
I'm bummed about it. I really like the continuous look with no clasp. And they are comfy and fun to wear.
Not sure if I didn't tie it correctly or didn't glue properly, but, well, dang.
How annoying! I've made a few elasticated items and sold a couple which (so far) I've had no complaints about.
ReplyDeleteI'm wearing a watch I made with an elasticated bracelet. Because it's not a complete circle I used necklace calottes to attach the elastic to the watch. The metal loops keep coming undone but the elastic is intact. I sold one watch like this so I'm hoping the owner isn't having this problem! I probably won't make any more this way.
The elastic seemed like a good idea, but I'm frustrated with it now. Maybe I'll retry it again in a couple of months. I really like the continuous look for bracelets.
