I have watched, and attempted this Mexican round braid a 100 times! Your videos are awesome! Honestly I can't wait until you put out more videos! Thank you!
Thank you for your video -- you made it simple to follow. One question: can I use the Mexican round braid on a round coaster to finish the edges - I see no reason why that would not work. Again Thanks! Tom
Glad you liked the video! Yes, I think you could use it. I always try the edge and material out first. I would cut a scrap piece to the same curve as your coaster and see how the braid looks on it. Use a polished hammer to tap the edges down and that should get rid of any curl from braiding.
I don't have time to make another video right now but here is how you could do it. Leave a tail on both ends. Take that tail and reverse direction back into the braid and braid it back into itself like the joining portion of the video. Use the tail just like you were coming at the braid to join it and weave it back into itself.
Thanks for leading me down this road. I have a couple questions...At the corner, if the holes don't line up so the hole is in the corner, how is that done? Does there have to be a corner hole? Also, with a gusset, how do you do the start at the top?
It should be close enough to the corner to not be noticeable even if it is not exactly in the corner. Most of my corners are fairly rounded and you can move your holes to come out close. It would depend on what the gusset looked like but I would just start a little off center or start somewhere else that might be easier to join if it is a narrow space...such as on a straight run. I would not try to join at a corner.

I would like to see this on a single run…. With a separate start on end and stop on each…. Would you finish each end like it was a corner?

@@gotstyledesigns thanks… you take care. I will get on it…
Where did you get the royal blue lacing
I purchased it from Y-Knot Lace. They have a great selection of Packer kangaroo lace. Here is the link: y-knotlace.com/colors:25536

how do you tie in at the finish end
My second Mexican Round Braid video shows how to finish and join the end.
How did this video ever get a thumbs down??? 🤔
Seems you can't please everyone and that's OK. LOL
You know where I can buy 8 in royal blue lacing
