  • You should use a whipping knot to finish the ends, not just wrap and tie off. A whipping knot will be more secure in the long run and, if you do not currently have your endcaps with you, using a real knot will keep the thing together until you do. ESPECIALLY if you like to 'dry fit' and test endcaps. Also, a stronger glue than HypoCement should be used.

  • @JillBoBill1 Thank you for the suggestions.  What type of adhesive do you like to use?

  • where do you get the cord end caps? i looked all over today and couldn't find any. thanks!

  • good tutorial, looks very easy and professional finish to the project.

  • I've been curious for awhile how people finished the ends of round braids to look professional, I never thought it could be this easy! Thanks for making this video, I found it to be very helpful.

  • Very helpful information ~ thx! I like to use magnetic ends for my bracelets/necklaces so I'll have to tweak a few things before trying it on my next piece. Thanks again!!!
