Bead Crochet Bangles

I've been obsessed with making crochet bangles recently, some solid colors and some with patterns.  Here's a look at a few I've made recently.  I love the weight and chunky-ness of the size 8/o seed beads that I've been using, also easier on the eyes with the stringing and crocheting!  The size 11/o seed beads are much smaller to work with, but their small size make these bangles look so delicate.  These are so fun to make and I love watching the patterns grow.  They are all very, very flexible and sturdy.  Available for purchase at my Etsy store, http://stringsbydesign.etsy.com.

  1. do you use elastic to make them? or simple cotton thread?

  2. I use size 10 cotton crochet thread with the size 8/o beads and nylon top stitching thread with the size 11/o beads. The bangles aren't as stretchy as I'd like, but still have a decent give to them.
