You can also use raw or plated WIRE to wire-wrap your own ends. It's not that difficult to do. 
1. Cut a piece about 2 1/2" long, and bend it into a U-shape
2. Cradle the cord within the U, so that you leave what will be the "loop" (bottom of the U-shape) open
3. Wrap another piece of wire around and around this U-shape. Keep the wire tight. Keep each successive coil close to the previous one.
Go down about 3/4" - 1". Then cut all the tails/ends off. 
4. Tuck in any sharp ends underneath the coil, using a pliers.
