-Crafts. Braided Cord is used for all kinds of crafts. At school they use it to create fun shapes on murals, for example. Also to create products such as pencil holders that children can use or to decorate portrait holders. It is about creating things that are useful and that make children interested in crafts.
This is also valuable for their self-esteem because they will see that they are able to make things for themselves that they will use every day or that will be part of the decoration of their house, which will undoubtedly make them very excited.
-Imitation jewelry. This type of cord is used in costume jewelry to make all kinds of pieces, from bracelets to chokers, both for men and women. They are combined with pendants and closures that can be made of silver or steel.
Creating these pieces is relatively easy and you just have to consider doing it. Take a look at tutorials on the internet and start with the easiest things to work your way up. In this way you will be able to wear the most original accessories and if you have skill and good taste, you will even be able to sell your creations to get some extra money.
-Renew your clothes. Braided cords are part of many of our garments. We find them in the hoods of sweatshirts and anoraks, in sports shoes or in the fit of some sweaters and jackets.
If you remove the bland laces that some of these garments come with and change them to brighter, more attractive colored laces, the garment will look much more rejuvenated. You can combine these laces with patches, especially in children’s clothing, to achieve such a big change that the garment will look like another.
-Belts. One of the star garments of this season is the cord belt. It is true that the great designers have done works that leave you speechless and that are authentic works of art. But at the end of the day, we are talking about cord worked in different ways to achieve the most original and attractive shapes.
You just have to look at the belt that we like, buy the right cord, and get down to work. Be careful, many designs have fine wire inside the cord to better hold the shape and they are joined with small stitches instead of glue.
