🧵 The accessory

MAF Accessories metal cord ends are professional terminals designed to finish cords with a diameter of approximately 5mm. Ideal for those who create DIY bags, these accessories turn handles, shoulder straps, and closures into neat and durable details, protecting the material from fraying and providing a high-quality artisanal look.

The pack contains 4 metal cord ends, enough to complete two handles or one shoulder strap. Compatible with fabric, leather, suede, and braided yarn cords, they are the practical solution for adding a professional touch to your handmade creations.

🧬 Material and construction: why metal

Metal was chosen for its mechanical strength and its ability to maintain its shape over time. Unlike plastic terminals, which tend to break under tension, metal ensures a stable hold even on bags used daily. The smooth surface facilitates the insertion of the cord and prevents wear on the material.

The integrated locking tab allows for additional mechanical fastening: after gluing, it can be gently pressed with pliers to increase stability. This dual system—glue plus pressure—is particularly useful for handles subject to load, such as those on shoppers and work bags.

📦 Content and compatibility

Each pack contains 4 cord ends, the exact quantity to complete a bag with two handles or a double shoulder strap. The internal diameter of approximately 5-9mm makes them compatible with most cords used for handmade bags: Swan cord, Thai cord, 4-5mm leather cords, trims, and medium-thickness braided yarns.

If you are working with thinner cords (3mm or less), consider using smaller diameter terminals for optimal fastening. For cords thicker than 6mm, verify compatibility before purchase. The versatility of these cord ends makes them suitable for both jewelry projects and medium to large bags.

🔧 How to apply the cord ends: a practical guide

Fastening is achieved by gluing. Cut the cord cleanly with sharp scissors or a utility knife, avoiding fraying. Insert a few drops of two-component glue or high-strength jewelry glue inside the terminal, distributing it evenly on the walls.

Push the cord all the way in, rotating it slightly to ensure the glue adheres. Let it dry according to the manufacturer's instructions (usually 24 hours for maximum hold). For extra stability, gently press the locking tab with pliers, protecting the surface with masking tape to avoid scratches. This step is optional but recommended for handles subject to load.

✨ Why choose MAF Accessories cord ends

The difference between a DIY bag with an amateur look and one with a professional finish lies in the details. Metal cord ends solve the problem of cord fraying, a common defect in handmade bags that compromises both aesthetics and durability. Without terminals, cords tend to fray after a few uses, especially if subjected to tension.

With MAF Accessories cord ends, you get a clean and durable closure, which enhances the craftsmanship and increases the perceived quality of the finished bag. They are the ideal choice for those selling their creations or wanting to make bags as gifts with a professional touch.

🎨 What you can create

Metal cord ends are versatile and adapt to various creative projects. The main use is for handles and shoulder straps of handmade bags, but you can also use them for decorative closures, details on clutches, cord bracelets, and fabric necklaces.

👩🎨 Who is it for?

Metal cord ends are suitable for all levels, from beginners to experts. Application is simple and does not require professional equipment: just glue, scissors, and optionally, a pair of pliers. Even those new to DIY bag making can achieve professional results by following the assembly instructions.

They are particularly appreciated by hobbyists who make crochet bags, artisans selling handmade creations, and textile jewelry enthusiasts. If you are looking for a way to give a professional touch to your bags without investing in expensive equipment, MAF Accessories cord ends are the right choice.
