What You'll Need
What You'll Need
Faux (Vegan) Leather sheets. We purchased a package of 12 faux leather sheets for $16.99 on Amazon. We love the design variety and the quality of the faux leather. You can also find faux leather at craft stores, but they might cost a bit more.

Sew-On Snaps-We purchased these at Joann's for $3.99. They come in packs of 6, but we are using only one side, so you can make 12 Cord Tacos with one pack. You could also use a small button if you have one.

How to Make your Cord Taco
How to Make your Cord Taco
I used a small bowl to draw a circle on the back side of a faux leather sheet, then carefully cut it out. Make sure you use a pencil to draw your circle.

On the other half of the "taco", draw a small line, big enough to fit the ball of the snap. Carefully push through the scissors to create a slit. Push the snap through to be sure it fits.
