So, if people don’t know me: I have been recently getting involved with arts and crafts. I have slowly been building my collections, as well as my daughter’s, who has a set of pink camo beads, as well as the tiny rubber bands to make up bracelets. We had those and we had 3 types of wire, what I needed now was some type of rope.
I chose brown over black, because it is more of a neutral color, better that tan, white, or black rope. I have black chokers, which I like, but that is a different cut of leather, not braided.
One of the things that I do like about this rope is the fact that it is braided, and not just a flat rope. You can interweave beads throughout the design you had in mind, or you can just simply put beads on the rope and go from there.
Of course, like most ropes, they tend to fray on the ends when you cut them. I happen to keep a lighter in my small kit to burn the ends. I make it to where it goes to the way I want, blow it out, and then press it against itself, to melt the ends. What’s off is I never really thought of doing that, until a few years ago, when I watched my son work on paracord, and that is how he got his to stay together.
My daughter even noticed that it can be used as shoelaces, if worse came too worse, - just cut specific length, melt ends, and lace up your shoes! We haven’t had to do that yet, but at least I know if I ever need to, I can!
