Either add some beads to the end to be knotted or sew it inside a cute pincushion. The felt flower below is ugly not cute I know. But I did not have to get up to get anything to make it , it was in reach and it served my purpose for the meeting demo. I forgot to insert the knot end inside my last seam so I quickly added an ugly flower to boot to cover the knot. This pincushion is called a Biscornu. a multi sided pincushon .
( That night I also taught them how to make a BISCORNU pincushion.)

to start pull cord through the handle then stick your finger in the loop opposite from knot,
