hey! this isn't an urgent question or anything, and barely even like a request, but if you ever happen across some stretchy silicone string or something can you let me know? i bought some at michaels, i think it was "spikeez" brand or something, but the brand seems to have disappeared and i can't find any more stretchy string. i like it for making stretchy bracelets with pony beads, they're an amazing stim
I’m not entirely positive I’m correct, on account of neither product being available locally (so my knowledge is based on discussions from North American stimmers), but perhaps you mean the Silkies Stretch Magic Cords?
(Spikeez is the spiky silicone used for modifying jewellery, homewares and accessories, and is also available in a range of pre-made accessories/keychains/balls. I’m not aware of it also being a stretchy-type silicone cord, but if I’m wrong, please correct away.)
Here’s the Google search I used: Silkies Stretch Magic. All sites are based within the US. I got several listings for Amazon, Shipwreck Beads, Pepperell and Michaels, but the Michael’s listing does say they’re out of stock online. I am not familiar, other than knowing they were available at Michaels in the past, with any offline stockists.
I think the best resource for you in terms of variety, size, style and colour will be the Pepperell website: they have a range of Silkies in bracelet and necklace sizes, including single item and multi-pack options, with multiple colour and braided options. This page discusses their shipping options, which does include international shipping, but no mention of price.
Amazon has a couple of options, but nowhere near as broad as Pepperell. They’re also only available in the necklace size, so I’d purchase directly from the manufacturer if you’d prefer the bracelet size.
If folks know of or can recommend a similar product, please let us know, as these don’t seem that easy to find offline.
And please, @5xfaith–do share with us the pieces you make! They sound lovely!
