Bead Smith's Flex Rite - Flexible Beading Wire

We have added this quality Flex Rite flexible beading wire to our product line because of it's affordability and versatility. Why do I say versatility? I really like the 0.018" thickness, as opposed to Soft Flex's 0.019" thickness. You wouldn't think that .001" makes a difference, but there have been many cases, when I have tried to squeeze Soft Flex through without success, and Flex Rite has been the answer. Note that the Flex Rite has 2 lbs less test strength than Soft Flex.
We carry Flex Rite in 3 popular colors - classic steel, silver and gold.

Gossamer Stretch Cord

Stretch cord is a great option for stringing bracelets because no clasp is needed. Not only will this save you money because you don't need extra findings, you will also save time since you don't have to attach the clasp either. This makes stretch bracelets a fun group project, gifts and fundraising items.

Simply string on the beads and tie a double knot. For extra security, apply a tiny dab of glue onto the knot.

Our gossamer stretch cord works with many types of beads and comes in a spool of 48 ft so you will have plenty of fun making lots of beaded jewelry!
