    Jill, The rough nugget type beads usually have a larger hole. I have
    a few suggestions, double or triple the elastic cord string bugle
    beads that fit inside the nugget hole so they keep the sharp nugget
    from fraying the elastic cord laboriously file the ends of the nugget
    holes smooth to prevent cutting through the elastic convince the
    customer to allow you to string it on foxtail or similar and use a
    toggle clasp.
