Step 1
Cut strips of fabric. You can use pretty much any fabric that will be comfortable to wear. You can use pre-made cotton bias strips or make your own. If necessary, double up the fabric so that the stack will fill the end cap.
Step 2
Stack strips of fabric and secure one end with a bartack using needle and thread. Braid fabric until it is about 1 inch short of the desired finished circumference. Stack loose ends and secure with bartack. Trim away excess fabric.
Step 3
Cover ends of braid and inside of endcap with glue. Squeeze end of fabric braid inside endcap and allow to dry. Wipe away any excess glue.

Attach an O-ring to each end cap. Attach a lobster clasp to one side. If needed, attach additional O-rings to opposite end.

You're all done! Proceed to wearing your DIY. :)
