Cord Knotting Tip: How to Finish Waxed Cord Ends so They Don’t Fray
Today I’m going to show you the simple trick I use to finish off my knotted waxed cord jewelry so the ends don’t fray. Nope! I don’t use glue – I prefer to use this technique instead of using glue to finish my cord ends because I find that it lasts longer, it’s less messy, there’s no drying time, and I just really hate the way some glues can dry hard and flake off or feel scratchy against the skin.

NOTE: This technique is intended for WAXED cord. But please be sure that you have not first used any glue or other substance (like nail polish) on the cord before you try this. Please also take note of the safety tips in the video before you give this a go!
