Have your shoe laces ever worn off the plastic tip caps, and they start to fall apart and you cant get them to stop tearing? Well, here’s a quick and easy way to stop it from wearing out anymore.

What you need:

• A lighter
• A hard surface
• Willingness to get your fingers singed a little.

Here’s what you do:

1. Take the shoe lace and the lighter and start to burn it. Soon it should start to catch fire and burn, at that point, turn off your lighter.
2. Take the shoe lace and in a twirling motion start to dab it on your hard surface. This should get off most of the looser strings on it and give it have a smoother surface.
3. Repeat Step 2 and this time, take your fingers while it is still fairly warm and pinch it and twist it until it is in a point like shape. (Warning: If it is too hot it could burn you and leave a small blister.)

That about does it. Repeat these steps as many times as you need. This really saves you if you don’t have the time and the money to buy new shoes or shoe laces.
