Saturns way too stretchy?

Deleted Account 2/2/2013 10:47 am 1534

Every time I make a Saturn it seems like its the prefect size but it just stretches WAAAYY too much. The middle beads are never that far apart and I always make double certain to push them closer together and re tighten it every once in awhile. What am I doing wrong?? They come out so lose. Should I jut use different string? I usually use .7 - 1mm cloth covered elastic string. Maybe stretch magic is better in this situation?

Do Clear Elastic, like Bead'n'Stretch. I use Stretch Magic, but its starting to stretch out ://

I'm not sure if you've already fixed the problem you were having, but here's my tutorial along with Ginger's over the Saturn.

I have how to tighten it as well [fast-forward to 9:47 to get right to the tightening part]

I had the same problem. I made it a bit different. but it still looks like a Saturn, Instead of using one big string, I made a ton of individuals then string them on string
