I wanted to share with you a tip for working with the waxed cotton cords and the flat braid.

The waxed cotton cord creates a much more open weave, so it is more likely to unravel when cut.

I attach a good double sided tape to my flat braid before I cut my cords.  That give me a good strong edge to place in the ribbon end cap.  If I had used glue, it may have stained the cord and become visible.

I taped the edges for both of these projects!

Here is a link to one of my favorite flat braids.
