Trying nymo beading cord for the first time.

The first time I made a wrap bracelet, I used copper wire. Honestly I had no idea what kind of cord, thread or wire to use. So I was just copying the look of wrap bracelets I already have.

The thread on my bracelet had a bit of tear, so I thought that maybe the shop used silk thread for beading and it was wearing out.

Using copper wire wasn't too bad an idea. it sort of did the job, the colour looked good on dark brown leather cord. But the fine wire was hard to maneuver without bending and twisting. Next I tried nylon cord. Actually I think fine nylon cord is the strongest and easiest to use. However it doesn't have the same look of the delicate silk thread.

Then I watched a YouTube clip in which a product called Nymo was recommended for the particular project. So I decided to have a go last night. 

Nymo is quite expensive and super fine. Definitely look nice. But it is a nightmare to work with. The thread ran out half way through and I had to add some more. At first I tried to knot the old and new thread and trim, but the bead hole was too small, so I superglued it next. It seemed to have worked...for a while. and while I was trying to pull it through a few beads after that, the thread tore. 

In my opinion. this product isn't strong enough. 

My eyesight is getting worse and that made it such a time-consuming project.

I might have to practice some more over next few weekend.
