Hi this is Megan with beadaholique.com and today I'm going to show you how to use rubber o-rings as stopper beads with Regaliz cord and we have Regaliz Corduroy Rubber Cord and we have the Regaliz cork cord in both ten millimeter wide and 5 millimeter wide and we do have rubber o-rings sized to fit all three when you're using the cord sometimes your slider beads can move around and if you want to keep your design in place then you can use the o-rings kind of like a smart bead if you're familiar with that european-style bracelets, it's gonna work in a similar way. It's gonna just hold on a little bit tighter and they also come in a lot of really pretty colors. You can use them as a design element and I'm just going to show you because we do have several sizes of the O-Rings available because you can also use them for other applications which sizes fit which cord So here I have a piece of the Corduroy Rubber and for that you're going to want the 12 millimeter o-ring You can see that one fits on there just right. It is enough to move but it'll stay put if you don't slide it. For the ten millimeter cork you're going to use the ten millimeter o-ring and because the cork is flat these are little but snug to get on once you get them on they are going to hold just the same and they pull nice and flat so they don't add too much bulk to your flat cord. That's the 10mm and then the five-millimeter you're going to use a five-millimeter o-ring again it's just a little bit more of a pull to get them on you can see that fits right on there. So these are really handy. You can use them to hold things where you want. You can also use them to add a really pretty simple low profiled color stripe to your design.
