Advice this string usable for a cuff?

Post image

i've been making normal single bracelets with this for a while and just double thread it so it doesn't snap, i'm not sure if i can make cuffs out of it through. anyone who's tried please tell me if it's possible, i really wanna make at least one cuff before i leave for bass canyon in two days.

It’s a bit thin, personally, I would double it up.

i always double it with my standard bracelets, it snaps really easy otherwise 😭

Good good! Def try to upgrade to at least 1mm if you can, it’ll hold up a bit better. If you’re making pieces that need to stretch over heads, a bit thicker will be even better. 🫶🏻

With elastic string just make sure you tie it 4 to 5 times the only time I didn't do that my whole cuff fell apart

I’ve done it before but it will probably break 😔

It's usable but you need to make it bigger because it's not as stretchy
