I bought some cord ends to make bracelets. Daft question - do I put the cord into the end and clamp it with pliers to attach the cord, or is there a neater way of doing it?
Thanks all.
Which type did you buy? There are so many and so many different ways of dealing with them. If you could post a piccie or a link, I might be able to offer a bit of help. x :)

Thanks Tony
Glue?
The design of the first ones is meant to be glued on
The second are supposed to be crimped (but I suspect these are cast copies so wouldn't take crimping without breaking so will need glue again)
The third should be gently squeezed into place - but again, without knowing what the base material is, glue is probably going to be the answer. I suspect they're also going to need some manipulation to stop them from opening up in the wrong places. This style is actually much easier to make yourself with wire and pliers.
I like these

Just squash the middle part, they are very neat looking and very strong as long as you make sure the cord is full in.
