- What can I make with 2mm leather cord?
- Knotted and beaded bracelets, pendant necklaces, chokers and simple men's styles. At 2mm it fits beads with holes around 2.5mm or wider. It is too thick for small seed beads and delicate chain links.
- Is cowhide leather cord waterproof?
- No. Water can stiffen the leather and may release some dye, especially on a freshly dyed cord. Remove jewelry before swimming or showering, and keep the cord dry.
- Will the blue dye rub off on skin or clothes?
- Dyed leather can transfer color when new or damp, particularly against light fabric. Wipe the cord with a dry cloth before use and avoid wearing it next to pale clothing until it settles.
- How does it compare with waxed cotton or faux leather cord?
- Cowhide is stronger and more durable than waxed cotton and faux leather, and it softens into a patina. Waxed cotton is more water-resistant and cheaper; faux leather frays sooner.
- How do I finish the ends?
- Use sliding knots, crimp ends, fold-over cord ends or glue-in end caps. For a clean edge, cut with sharp shears and seal the tip with a tiny drop of leather glue.
- How should I store leftover cord?
- Keep it coiled, dry and out of direct sunlight in a sealed bag. Moisture and UV are what stiffen the leather and fade the dye.
