Tie Off A Lanyard?

[Flattracker]

There is probably a proper term for this which I don't know which is why I can't find the answer hah!

I need to make a wallet lanyard but not in a braid... it'll be out of 8mm leather cord with a wrap around the hardware at each end. So the fold over needs to be securely tied off at each end with a neat thick/flat thread or lace/rawhide?

I've seen examples where you can't really see where the tie off starts & finishes, it looks real tidy and is something I'm aiming for but no idea where to start.

Apologies if there's a thread on the forum for this already, I had a search but couldn't find anything.

Any help much appreciated.

Whipping? Where you'd just fold your cord back and do a neat thread wraparound?

Doesn't sound like you're referring to a Turks head or a knot really.....

Cheers!

Ahhh, thanks Penguineer. That's exactly it, thread wrap around. I'll search on whipping now.

Big thanks

Also look for Double loop lacing ! It is done with alot of billfolds, and can be a non detectable ending if properly done

Good Luck on all your quests. ---------- Wild Bill46.

Securing it is key. Thanks Wild Bill46, a good few learning hours ahead of me. Good stuff.

Thank you.
