Melted Shoelace Aglet
Some shoelaces are made from synthetic materials that can easily be melted over a match, lighter or candle to form a reasonable aglet.
Melted Shoelace Aglet picture 1 Step 1:
This picture shows the end result after the shoelace has been melted into a smooth, elongated aglet. You can also melt just enough to seal the end into a bead.

WARNING: Take care not to set fire to the shoelace, and don't touch the melted synthetic with your fingers as it can stick to your skin and burn!
