Ending knots for a keychain by LoriH 13 years ago

How do I tie off the string at the end of my design when it's being used for a keychain? I used the larkshead knot to attach the strings to the keychain, but would like the ends to look neat, too.

I've been looking at pictures, but still can't figure this out....is it just several overhand knots?

i usually just do an overhand knot on seperate bunches. i. e. if i had a 12 string keychain i would seperate them into 4 bunches of three, make a knot really close to the pattern and then cut kind of close to the knot and glue the knots so they stay in place. if u have any ?'s than feel free to ask!

I don't use glue, but then I don't like cutting the threads too close to the knot either ;-) I made one where I cut the threads fairly close and after a while that one didn't look as neat as the ones where I left the threads about half an inch from the knot :-)
