Description:

There are many ways to finish off a leather cord by gluing the cord to a hook end, however, the method shown here is sturdy and does not require any use of glue. This finishing might be a little bulkier than other solutions, but from a purist's point of view, it makes for a more elegant piece of jewelry for not using any glue or solder.

Eni, thanks a million! I'd bought leather cords galore, but was never confident enough to use them, as I wasn't sure how to finish off those darned things, but now I do! Thanks again!

Great tutorial, it's very useful!
