Glue: while not entirely necessary, it does provide a little security towards ensuring your bracelt doesn't come un-tied. If you don't have any of the glues below, I do not reccomend regular super glue becuase it dries hard and brittle and can erode the elastic cord over time. It is best to use a flexible glue like one of these listed here:

  • Vigor Super Glue  
  • E6000 Jewelry and Craft Adhesive 
  • Gorilla Glue Gel
  • GS Hypo Cement
