Review on Beadaholique Opelon Floss: Flexible 82-Feet Stretch Bead Cord by Barbara Simmons

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Doesn't pull out of shape.

I bought this after watching some videos about making bracelets. In one they used Opelon. Although it's a bit thicker than the most elastic, I've put it through the beads twice (about 8/0) as I always make two strands for my bracelets, including Opelon, although I don't think it ever snaps or unravels will wear out. . My guess is that really coarse beads can wear down over time, but Opelon is made up of many fibers so wearing down one or more won't wear down the entire strand. I will only use rubber bands if I have beads that I can't thread my opelon through.

Pros
  • Cord and thread for beadwork
Cons
  • unreliable
