Using Cord Ends |
(Leather, Suede, Fibers and Thicker Cording Materials)
|
- Place one end of your cording in the channel of a cord end.
- Use your chain nose pliers to flatten one side of the cord end down onto the
cording.
- Repeat step 2, flattening the second side of the cord end down on top of the
first.
- Thread a split ring onto the hole at the end.
- Thread one side of your desired clasp onto the split ring.
Repeat steps 1-5 to complete the second side.

Quick-drying, Clear Glue

from coming undone. Look for tubes of glue with a precision applicator tip.
