I just made this drawstring bag as an x-mas present for my son. It will hold all his little plastic army men that he loves. Well I sed cord and those squeeze things to hold it closed.
What do I do to the ends of the cord? right now there is tape, do I burn??
Thanx

You would probably need to re-glue only if you washed the bag; white glue is usually water-soluble.
You could also use Fray Check or Fray Block on the ends. (Fray Block is softer. Both are pretty much permanent.)
If it's nylon, try burning the edge outdoors (because of the fumes and smell); that would melt the end permanently.
