Thanks- that shows how to use then- I want to learn how to make my own. I know I can get them in the store- or ebay- but I wanted to do it myself. Any idea? I thought there must be some way to shape elaastic paracord into the curly laces.
This might seem like a really silly response, but I have very curly hair. My mom used to dampened my hair a bit, brush it and wrap it around her finger until it became a loose curl vs. very tight Kinky curl. . I'm speculating that you might be able to wet the material,wrap it tightly/firmly around a cylinder object and attach at the top and the bottom. Let it dry completely. This would definitely work with an outer fabric that is natural, like cotton, I'm sure it would work with that type of fabric. Please let me know what it works for you.
Addition to my previous reply, you may want to dip the fabric in a hardening material, kind of like we use when mousing our hair prior to wrapping it around a cylinder type of object. That may allow for the spiral to set and stay versus fall out over time. Maybe a cornstarch mixture or something else, that might be more durable for shoelaces. Maybe another Hometalker would be able to help with the type of medium that you could use...to set your shape. I think that would be the biggest obstacle to overcome is having the shape stay in a spiral.
Are they elastic? Coiling them around something sounds good, but keeping them in the coiled shape would be the trick. Look at some in the store....might tell what is used.

You might try soaking in glue then wrapping it around something
