I have made a couple pair of kumihimo shoe laces in a flat braid and finished them with a round braid for the ends and then rubbed glue on the round ends then cut them apart.Evehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09978511276500678559noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4842874878197429929.post-73959176191844883082010-07-01T20:57:46.793-07:002010-07-01T20:57:46.793-07:00Thank you Professor Shoelace.

I am not sure if you would get the sort of end you are looking for, but they would definitely by funky and individual and have a handmade look, and could be compressed enough to fit through tiny holes on most shoes.inklenaomihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04292155432242629861noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4842874878197429929.post-22221407223974548792010-06-24T08:07:32.927-07:002010-06-24T08:07:32.927-07:00Hmmm....

Do you suppose there are photos somewhere that I could look at? <br />Spinning Out of Control- I will have to experiment with glue and burning.

Not sure it would work but how about when you finish weaving the laces, cut the ends to a point and dip them in fabric glue (or since they are nylon, you might be able to burn them together) so they don't come unravelled. Then try to put the tubelets or aglets on. Did you do the laces with weaving cards? I just bought some and can't wait to try them out!Loree Jacksonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07026063430473415288noreply@blogger.com
