Joining a small leather loop to a leather cord.

[OCMan]

Okay, so I have a 2mm leather cord I am using in a bracelet, and I have a clasp for it, but the 2mm cord won't pass through the clasp. So I need to attach a smaller leather loop to the end. I am planning to use a crimp tube, but I was wondering if there is something I could use to help give it more stability and ensure that the two would be joined together and not depend completely upon the crimp tube? I have heard something like super glue might work, but I am not sure if that is the best option?

 

Thank you for any help you can offer.

Can you trim the cord & tie it back on itself?

Theoretically, but the leather is one of those sealed ones with a covering. So it would pretty well ruin it.

If I had to do something like this I’d probably bind it with thread. If you can pierce all three cords at the start and apply enough tension as you wrap it, it should be reasonably strong. If you form a loop with the other end of the thread and bury it under the whipping, you can use that loop to pull the finished end of the thread under the wrapping so you won’t  see the cut end.

I would fix the loop to the bracelet by whipping or binding it with fine cord

Search YouTube for 'Whipping the end of a rope' and 'common whipping knot' and you'll see the sort of thing

Thank you both very much, you make an excellent suggestion.
