Elastic Cord - 2 mm - Red

Elastic Cord - 2 mm - Red brings a vivid burst of color to bracelets, necklaces, friendship jewelry, and beaded accessories. Red can become a visible part of the design itself, making this elastic cord especially useful for Valentine’s Day, patriotic, holiday, school-color, and other bold jewelry themes. Each spool contains 72 yards, giving classrooms, camps, after-school programs, and activity groups plenty of cord for creative jewelry making.

Turn Bold Red Color Into Part of the Design

Red cord doesn't have to disappear under the beads. Space beads apart to reveal flashes of red throughout a bracelet, coordinate the cord with matching components for a color-focused piece, or use contrasting beads to make both the cord and decorations stand out.

The color opens up plenty of themed possibilities throughout the year. Combine red with pink and white for Valentine-inspired jewelry, blue and white for patriotic projects, green and white for holiday designs, or school and team colors for spirit bracelets and necklaces.

Its 2 mm thickness makes the cord a noticeable design element when paired with beads and jewelry components with compatible openings. Participants can create repeating sections of cord and beads, alternate colors, spell out names, or develop their own patterns.

The elastic construction suits stretch jewelry that slips on and off without a traditional clasp. A 72-yard spool also makes it easy for program leaders to prepare cord for multiple participants, seasonal activities, or recurring jewelry stations.
