Ways to apply gimp braid

    Heat up a hot-glue gun with a fabric rated glue stick.
    Dab a small amount of hot-glue onto end of gimp braid, fold and press edge over. This is to tidy up the frayed edge.
    Apply small lines of glue onto the chair, and stick the gimp braid on.
    At the end, fold over the frayed edge of braid, and fold under with glue.
