Tie off one end and run the cord to where you need to fix the other end, pull it as tight as you need and put a dab of cyano where it touches. When the glue dries tie your knot, or use shirring elastic

Or....instaed of tying a knot, use a short loop of thin cotton thread. place it over the end and pull it tight. Then a spot of glue. Works for me and you can then use the ends of the thread as whipping..
