How To Make a Four Strand Round Braid Dog Leash From Paracord

Step 13 Melting The Ends Of The Paracord

To make you leash look good, melt the cord against the same colour cord that is directly below it. Before you switch colours, quickly swipe the tip of the woodburner over a damp scrap of cloth to clean it. Do this carefully since the woodburner gets very hot!
