Macrame. Macramé was very fashionable years ago and it is once again a trend now that it takes the natural and the handmade. This way of working with a cord is valid both to make a nice flower pot and to make a belt. A job that is a pleasure to do because it is simple and looks great and always likes to have personal things at home or to use as accessories.
Necklaces The braided cotton cord is perfect for setting all kinds of necklaces. In its finest versions, it can even be used for pearls. And it is that after some time it is easy for the necklaces to end up breaking because the cords used to join their beads rot. Changing the cord can make the necklace look flawless again and last much longer, without the risk of the beads or pearls being thrown on the floor and lost.
Braided bracelets. We find this type of bracelets in all markets and fairs. There are many artisans who are dedicated to making them and who also give it their personal touch. They use fine cords of different shades for their creations and achieve very personal and unique designs that sell as well as any other jewelry item. The best with this type of technique are able to create unique personalized letters or designs that have much more value.
Dog chews. The thick braided cotton cord can also be used to make chews for dogs of different sizes. These homemade chews allow the dog to play and let off steam without using our clothes or shoes.

All these jobs can be done by anyone at home and there are many tutorials on the Internet that allow you to follow the guidelines and get very attractive designs.
