Ending a flat braid, same as the start

Hi there,

I'm curious to find out if this is possible. The goal is to make a flat strap that's symmetrical.

I like the start to this flat braid. I'd love to end it looking similarly on the other end, with no buckle.

https://preview.redd.it/n7cwiw7m1hsc1.png?width=1002&format=png&auto=webp&s=a5a20a7aed0ebea67e4fab43d6191cd30d5c5007

I'm reasonable at backbraiding around something (like a buckle, as shown there), but I'm lost playing around trying to get something that looks similar to that type of start (tapered, slightly rounder) but at the end. My attempts at getting a back braid that takes that shape have been... ugly.

Any ideas or resources on figuring it out?

Phat Conquistador Bracelet

I have basically miles of Paracord for knife making and it never occurred to me that I can I could just make bracelets for myself when I'm bored. This is my first Paracord bracelet. 7 layer conquistador weave. No joke but I think there's almost like 8 meters of Paracord here.

550 vs 1100

When measuring what you need for a bracelet iv always heard 1' straight to 1" knotted for 550. Do you just double this for using 1100? Halp

Non-slip paracord

Hi, new to paracords in general and got interested when I saw a person using them to modify their bag. Does anyone have a recommendation for a non-slip type of paracord? Is there such a thing even? I'm hopefully going to use to add friction to areas where my bags are slipping to keep them stable. Thank you in advance.

I'm new, how to you keep your projects even?

I got a set if 550 paracord a couple months ago and some ballbearings to make beglari. Some turn out better and worse but for the most part my most trouble is keeping stuff evenly spaced. Every project I do seems to either stretch the paracord in a weird way or it's way too loose. I videos on YouTube and pictures I see here the persons project seems like the cord is tight but still "full" looking. Everytime mine seems to be a little wonky. Recently I made this dna type thing (picture above) and I think the white looks good but the pink/grey looks really bunched up and bad. How do I fix this issue?

Is it the paracord? Should I buy better paracord or just practice my making? Where would I buy the paracord? What size should it be? Would flat paracord help?

Sorry for the dump, I overthink everything and don't want to make 90 different posts.

Any help or suggestions are appreciated!

Paracord hardner?

What liquid can I use to harden & fix the knots I have braided using paracord lines?

On youtube there was a couple of videos mentioning to use wood hardner.
