Hi nancy! i already had some but my friend loves purple so i'm trying to collect more to make her a bracelet! she loves pandora but can't wear metal so i'm going to try to make one of elastic thread and a smaller bead or spacer in between each. what would you use?
Well, the thing with Pandora bracelets is that the metal doesn't really touch the skin, if the bracelet is full of beads. I think you'd have to use something really sturdy like leather, because those beads are heavy and most string type of stuff will wear through and break. I would think your friend could wear sterling ... lots of sterling pandora bracelets out there.
No-she can't wear sterling either! i know the beads won't really touch her but what about the clasp! that's why i thought of elastic thread but i know they're heavy! i figured i'd have to use at least 4 ply but even then i didn't think of the wear & tear! augh! i really want to do this for her. she got me through my husband's bout with cancer!
Elastic thread, at least what they sell for beading, is not very sturdy, won't work at all with heavy beads like Pandoras. You might want to try coating the clasp area with nail polish, or even some sort of covering, but I'm not sure what would work ... trial and error. Maybe she could wear a bracelet for a few hours at a time, just not all day?
good idea.but I think she tried that just recently with a ring she bought! just thought ...I have 2 very good bead stores nearby ...think I 'll go there next wk and see what they say about it! i'll let you know!
