once you've got your stretchy bracelet basics down, take them to the next level by using crimp covers to hide your knots.
it's true - even the most skilled stretchy bracelet makers end up with unsightly knots every now and then. and yes, you can always use a large holed bead to cover your knot, but your design may not always call for such.

for the featured project here, we just made two stretchy bracelets. one the "normal" way, and another where each end of the stretch magic was tied off to one end of a connector. in both bracelets, anywhere a knot was made is where a crimp cover was applied.
