Best Sewing Elastic Cords of 2025

"I find the FIVEIZERO Elastic Cord perfect for my crafting and DIY projects. The three different thicknesses make it really versatile for jewelry making and beading. The cords are stretchy and durable, and I love the vibrant colors!"

"This elastic is great for my small business! I prefer it because it’s more durable and has a fantastic stretch, so I never need to double it up. Just a heads up, though—it’s thicker than average, so keep bead hole sizes in mind."

"I mistakenly ordered a larger size than intended, but it works well for repairing my stretch bracelets. It ties easily, though it can fray slightly at the ends while threading. The included scissors are nice, but they arrived a bit oily."

"This product does its job well, but I noticed a weird chemical smell to it."

"I found this elastic to be flexible and long, perfect for making bouncy string toys for my cats."

"My cat absolutely loves playing with this! She can't bite it off and swallow it. I cut it up and keep them all over the house so I can always find one."

"I needed to replace the worn-out elastic drawstring on my down jacket, and this product was easy to work with. I tied it to the old drawstring and pulled it through. The elastic was sturdy enough to withstand being pierced by a needle and worked perfectly for adjusting my hood."

"This elastic has been a great addition to my crafting projects. I used it to fix up a shirt with buttons, and I'm really happy with how it turned out."

"The elastic cord is good quality. I use it for stringing small antique reproduction dolls, and I always need more."

"My daughter wanted this to make bracelets and necklaces with beads. She said it worked well for her. She made bracelets for my wife and me, and my wife has worn hers for months without it breaking. I just put mine in my car, so I haven't tested it yet."

"I bought this after my Onyx bracelet popped off my wrist. After fixing it, it worked for a bit, but I had to restring it again. I need an accessory to cover the knot as it keeps getting loose or frayed. I might need to find a better string, so I will research more."

"This cord is strong and very elastic, just as described. I haven't encountered any issues while using it, and I would definitely recommend it."

"I used this to replace the elastic in some clothing I had worn out. It worked well and did the job perfectly."

"I've bought a lot of elastic cord recently for making masks, and this one is hands down the best. I wish I had discovered it sooner! The quality is excellent, and the colors are so bright and beautiful. Plus, the delivery was lightning fast! I couldn't wait to order more as soon as I opened the package!"

"These stretchy cords are the best I've tried so far. The colors are really nice, and they are soft and gentle on the ears when I use them for masks. I will definitely buy these again!"

"I found the timely delivery and excellent quality really impressive with this product."

"Although it came tangled in a bag, I use thin elastic for various sewing projects."

"I appreciate the competitively priced elastic; the great fit makes it perfect for my needs."

"I'm really impressed with the decent stretch of this cord! It feels very bouncy and so far, it appears sturdy. I'm pleased that it works as expected, especially since I had to replace another cord that didn't meet my standards. Plus, the color is just right for my needs!"

"I bought this cord to make masks, but I found it a bit too stiff for my liking. I still prefer the Mandala Craft 2mm elastic cord and will definitely choose that brand when I can."
