I made some about a year ago and they're great! They burn really bright and really long.
You can see a picture in
my gallery

I bought stainless steel rings from a hardware store, the ones that people would use under screws. I don't know if you can see them allright on the picture. So I put the rope through it and braided it, and connected it with an oval quick link from HoP to a barrel swivel (also from HoP).
The I sew the ends of the braids together with kevlar thread (from HoP) and also glued them wit white school glue. You could probably also use normal cotton thread, the cotton would burn away but the glue would probably keep it all together.

Good luck with making your own snakes!
Maybe you can post a picture of them here once you're finished?

try searching HoP by using the search function in the top right corner. there are several designs in the forums, mostly in the technical discussion pages.
