Product Review

This roll of Mandala Crafts flat elastic band, bungee, or shock cord with consistent color and continuous length is hard to find in craft stores. The color is accurate and genuine. The band is thick and strong but soft and very easy to sew or cut. It stretches easily and resumes its original shape without losing elasticity over time even after numerous washings and dryings. The knit nylon type webbing material does not narrow when stretched or weaken with needlework. Compared to non-roll packaging, spooling is easier to store especially considering the long, wholesale-sized length, which should last for several projects. For crafting, clothing, or sewing, this long lasting and shrink resistant flat string is for sure a keeper.

The applications of this cord are limited only by your imagination. The rope is wide enough for waistbands and narrow enough for easy gathering on more heavy-duty clothes. You will find it handy when you want to make costumes, pants, skirts, leggings, aprons, shoes, baby tutus, costume necklines, or even doll clothes. Using this as a waist insert to replace a drawstring, alternate the size, or reinforce the elasticity on a sport shorts, pajama, bra, or underwear will give it a new life. If you are a crafty hobbyist, you will be surprised what this cord can do when you create couch covers, crib sheets, fitted sheets, diaper covers, or even duvet covers. For journal makers, this loop tie with vivid color will accent up your products instantly. The usage of the strap is so versatile that it can even be used to create jewelry such as colorful wristbands.
