cheap murano beads
how to make murano bracelets?

i recently ordered two sets of murano bracelets. both sets have five beads. they came straight from hong kong, which surprisingly didn’t take long even tho i live in new york city. i was expecting them to come MADE, but instead i got two extremely tiny ziploc bags with blue glass murano beads in each. i plan to make the bracelets. i’ve got the beads and elastic (the quality type not the cheap crud), but after i thread the elastic through the beads, how do i attach both ends of the elastic?
plz help mi friend birthday is on october 25th the bracelet is her present quick show me teh LIGHT
but show it to meh quickly

String the beads on the elastic, and mark where you want the elastic to end at.
Then tie the ends of the elastic together firmly, and cut the excess off.

Then you take a bead that you threaded through the elastic, and slide it over the tie. Take some super glue, and carefully bring one drop of glue onto the glue tip, and touch it to the end on the inside of that bead[hold the bead so it is hole side upright, and the glue straight down]. The glue will wick down into the bead onto the knot and keep it from slipping out of the bead and showing.

Let it dry well, and then test it gently to see if it holds. If not, do 2 drops of glue.
You do not want to get glue on the outside of the bead. It is cloudy when dried, and will show.

Tell your friend HB! And isn’t great she has a friend who can bead. Come back here sometime, and we will teach you to do earrings and necklaces that look like a pro did them.
