Instructions

    Literally all that you do it washi tape down the worst parts of your frayed chord and then repeatedly go over the length of the chord with crochet thread.

    You don’t have to use multiple colors of thread, you can just use one if you want or have a color scheme you’re trying to stick to, but I like it better with the many colors.
