Saturns way too stretchy?

Deleted Account 2/2/2013 10:47 am 1539

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?

What kind of string do you use? i find bead n stretch is alot less stretchy than the regular elastic chord.

I'll try it with the clear elastic and see what happens ^_^

Clear elastic works better from what I've heard.

Yeah, I think clear elastic string would be better. Make sure you're pulling everything tight when you are making it.

when you make the group of 5ive pull the beads closer to the last group. i think Ginger Cande has a tutorial if not her then CellularMango

I have wildfire many times, thats what I meant when I said I push them together and retighten it a lot. tongue the problem ended up being the string I was using. I figured it out.

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
