What are drawstring charms?
Drawstring charms are decorative jewelry pieces that attach to the drawstrings of hoodies, sweatpants, and sneakers using a screw-on base. Unlike traditional pendants or bracelets, they turn everyday clothing into customizable accessories.
The Ends makes drawstring charms from solid brass with gold or silver plating. Each charm screws onto a base piece that threads onto your drawstring, so you can swap designs whenever you want. The collection includes over 180 charms across categories like letters, zodiac signs, nature, and love.
2. Pick your base
Choose a pair of The Ends in gold or silver. These are the base pieces that thread onto your drawstring and hold your charms.
3. Thread your drawstring
Slide your drawstring through The Ends base piece. They fit most standard hoodie, sweatpant, and sneaker drawstrings.
4. Attach your charm
Hook your chosen charm onto the loop, then screw the top piece back on. The screw-on design keeps everything locked in place.
5. Mix and match
Swap charms whenever you want a new look. Unscrew, switch, and screw back on. Most people keep a rotation of 5-10 favorites.
