[NFB-Blind-Crafters] Finishing a braided bracelet

[Jolene Nemeth]

hi the only time i have done this was with paracord. i remember having to
attach the clasp or ring by including it in the last braiding step i made.
then i had to fold the ends back into the bracelet brading i already did.
so when i wass at the end i worked the ring into the last braid step but
did one more so it was secure. then i wove the ends back into the existing
braid much like we do in knitting. what material are ou using?
