Shoe Lace Anchors Upgraded

IMG_20160206_081426.jpg

I have "invented" something that is similliar to shoe lace anchors,but better!! it is very simple to make,needs very little time and resources and why wouldn't you make it ?

Stuff you need:

4 or 8 washers (or whatever that is called)

shoes - mine have paracord laces so it is thicker ,that is why i only needed 4 .you may need to get smaller washers if your laces are thin ,or find an ible on shoe lace anchors that use 8 washers,there are 2 already on instructables

Starting

it is time to get rid of your old , lame crossed shoelace finnish!

Simply , to start just pull your laces out of the last hole and put them in the hole above,not on the other side

Making the Anchor Part

Make a loop on the end of your shoe lace ,put a washer over it and pull the cord through the loop above the washer.

Tighten,adjust,repeat on all 4 ends of your laces and proceed to next step .

How to Use It

Take one loop , put it over the washer on the other side .take the other loop,put it on the washer on the other side.

NOTE: i did not and probably will not cut my lace ends to the washer , but you can if you think you won't need to adjust the tightness.maybe just leave a few centimeters if you want ,or just cut it off all the way to the washer if you don't want it to hang loose.

DONE!

This is what it looks like ,it should not slip off if you made it tight enough and it works as well as a knot if you tightened it enough.

Hope you enjoyed my ible,if you have any suggestions/ see a grammar mistake that slipped by me , just comment .
