[Nfb-krafters-korner] stretch bracelet help needed

[Powers, Terry (NIH/OD/DEAS) [E]]

I crossed the 2 strands of chord and pulled then as tight as I could, I think.  I might have been able to do it a bight tighter.  This brought the beads close to each other and then I finished the next level of the knot I did the knot 2 more times.  You can feal it if you try, but for the first time I am satisfied.  Let you know what the lady in our gift shop says, today.  Mine is about 8 inches.  Is that to big?  It fits over my hand with out really even stretching.
I think I described it before.  I found some silver and restrung what I had done.  I have 3 sparkle black and 1 silver bead.  

What will go with a flat silver bead?  Also I found some silver small cilinders.  I think 2 or 3 strands of chord will fit through them.  Sure wish  they were longer.  They will make a nice connecter but not the way we spoke about if you want 2 separate loopes with a large connecter.

Overhand should work well too.
