   you need beadalon wire.

   if you search for it on ebay you’ll find good deals. The more strands, the more sturdy the bracelet.

   I dunno what it’s called, but I remember making bracelets at camp last year and they used this stretchy/elastic-like string. Sorry if this doesn’t help too much… good luck selling jewelry!

   well a really good bracelet string that i use is called hemp string, you can by it at michaels and other stores like that. sometimes they sell kits that tell you how to make them and they come with the beads you are supposed to use for it. It’s really sturdy and holds up very very well. they are also very neat and cool to sell. if you go to google or photobucket and type in hemp braclets in images you can see what they look like. I love making them. Hope this helped!!
