Can you 'stretch out' kandi?

Kafferz 1/15/2013 02:44 am 2958

I made a necklace and it's too short and ehhh, I don't feel like re-making it hahaha. I'm hoping there's a way to be able to stretch it. I also have some singles that are too tight. The string I use is bead n' stretch.

i just but my bracelets on a cup thats bigger then them (in your case i would use a small bowl) and let it sit for 3 days that usually streches it out

I play with them or wear them a lot and they eventually wear down and become stretchy ^u^

Depending on the string you use, you could just cut it at a point and add a bit more string on while keeping all the beads intact. I've done this a couple of times and works if you dont want to remake something. happy

Yes, over time you can stretch out your kandi. Just wear it a lot and the string with stretch out.

Sometimes I stretch mine for about 5 minutes but there's also that possibility of the piece breaking.

With certain types of string you might be able to, but I really wouldn't recommend it because it will probably make the string weaker. If you stretched it a lot it would also look weird because there would be huge gaps between the beads. You could try threading a new piece of string through the beads while they're still on the necklace, going through several beads at a time. That's what I've done in the past. It's easier if you use a needle and it's normally faster than remaking the whole thing.
