Aloha Simon,

Sorry I took so long to get back to you. I have been busy the last couple of days. Darn that work stuff!

Here is a link that might give you an idea:

I do something similar to that but not quite. Where he has the cord taped, I make a bend and bring the cord toward the other end and start my wrap on the opposite side and wrap until I get to the loop made the the bend in the cord. Then I run the end of the cord that is doing the wrapping into the loop and pull it tight holding the cord in by friction. You can tie off as you see fit to make a lanyard loop.

I use this wrap mostly to add a grip to something. It works great on a Hawaiian Sling spear. Pull the cord in under the wrap about halfway, trim the ends off, soak the cord and let dry. When it dries, it tightens up (wrap tightly anyway) and you have a secure non-slip grip.
