Frequently Asked Questions about Cord, Leather, & Ribbon
Got questions about our Cord, Leather, & Ribbon? We’ve got answers to help you craft with confidence!
•    How do I pick the right thickness for my beads?
Choose a cord or ribbon that slides easily through your bead holes without too much wiggle. For large hole beads (4 mm–6 mm), use medium leather or waxed cotton cord. For smaller beads (2 mm–3 mm), try thin silk or nylon cord. This ensures your design stays secure.
•    Can I use ribbon outdoors without fading?
Satin and organza ribbons can fade in strong sun and rain. For outdoor pieces, we recommend nylon or polyester ribbons—they resist UV rays and hold their color longer.
•    What crimp ends work best with leather cord?
Flat barrel cord ends with inside teeth grip leather well. Secure them with your favorite jewelry making tools—like chain nose pliers—to finish projects neatly.
•    Do you offer custom lengths or bulk cuts?
Yes! Our wholesale jewelry supplies let you order cord, leather, and ribbon by the yard or in bulk spools to suit any project size.
•    How should I care for silk vs. leather cord?
Silk: keep dry, avoid oils, and store flat. Leather: wipe with a dry cloth and store away from moisture to prevent stretching.
