Leather Cord with Cones
- Using flush-cutters, cut the leather cord to length. Determine the length of cord desired and double the overall length since the cord will be folded in half.
- Using flush-cutters, cut one 12-inch length of 16-gauge, half-round dead-soft wire. File the ends if necessary.

Step
1
 |  | Fold bundled leather cords in half and hold secure with flat-nose pliers. Insert wire at fold point of cord. |
Step
2
 | | Using a pair of chain-nose pliers and round-nose pliers begin your first wrap by creating a hook around the bundled cord. |
Step
3
 | | Moving down the cords from the top, make four wire wraps around the bundled cords. |
Step
4
 | | Feed the straight end of the wire back up through the wire wrap. |
Step
5
 | | String a cone onto the straight end of the wire and position so the wrapped wire is hidden inside the cone. Using flush-cutters, trim the straight end of the wire to 1-1/2 inches.
Add a dab of E-6000® adhesive to secure cone over wrapped wire. |
Step
6
 | | Using a pair of chain-nose pliers, round-nose pliers and flush-cutters, create a wrapped loop.
Repeat Steps 3 - 6 to finish loose leather ends on opposite side. |
