Best Bracelet Cord or Material for Bracelets

I am in search of a good, durable material for making bracelets.

I suppose I could describe the type of bracelets I am wanting to make as friendship bracelets; soft, cloth material, yet I need the material to be a little more “thick” than those friendship bracelets we all know and remember from elementary school.

I have found that para cord to be one material that I like, but it is a tad expensive. Does anyone know of any other material that is good for making bracelets?  Any and all help is greatly appreciated!
