Rubber - How to Use


Hollow Rubber
Hollow Rubber is available in 3 diameters: 2.0mm, 2.5mm and 3.0mm, and can be used in many different jewellery designs. Thread as you would a bead, cut into any length.

Tips:
Cut rubber with scissors ensuring the edge is straight; an angled cut will make the bead sit at an angle.
Be careful not to pull jewellery wire too tight when using rubber tubing, as it will buckle.

Method:
Thread design on either jewellery wire or elastic and finish as per instructions for Finishing With Crimps, or Elastic.
