Preventing strings from wearing

So I have a few bracelets on my wrist that I wear all the time, including a pacman one, which I'm in love with. However, it's starting to fall appart where I braided it, so I was wondering if anyone does anything to prevent this, like clear nail pollish or something..? I just don't want to ruin it trying to save it Dx |

hairspray. Leaves it with a nice crisp outcome. but use extra hold for a better outcome. |

Thanks, Gracie! I knew that you could do both of those things for certain other things, like clear nail polish on ends of ribbon and hair spray on marching hats to make them stiffer (wow I'm a nerd xD), but again, unsure of end product. This helped a lot :D Thanks again! |

OH and just to see the outocome, I posted a photo on a pattern it may may not be published yet.. But it has numbers on it. It turned out slightly stiff but not really it was mostly in the end strings... Test it first to see if you like it. |

heres a idea ,.. fabic glue and ribbon about the same size as the bracelet in width, glue the ribbon to the back of the bracelet , you can even sew the end and begining strings down to the back of the bracelet,.. use thread the same color as the embroidery floss, and fit the needle between the knots , then glue the ribbon on and then use the ribbon its self as the tie,.. the bracelet would probably last alot longer then :) |
