Quick Project Steps
Secure the Braid: Start by tying a tight square knot at the end of your Kumihimo braid to secure the loose ends.
Bind and Sew for Strength: Use needle and thread to bind tightly around the braid’s end. Incorporate a few stitches through the braid itself for enhanced durability.
Apply a Sewer’s Knot: For additional security, execute a sewer's knot by sewing underneath a thread bridge and tying a knot.
Trim the Tails: Cut off the excess Kumihimo and fire line tails to clean up the end.
Attach the End Cone: Apply a generous amount of glue to the braid end and inside the bead cone. Slide the cone over the braid end to finish.
