How can I tie 3 leather cords together?

I am thinking about making a few bracelets by braiding 3 strands of suede leather cords together, adding a few charms/alphabet beads and then somehow putting a clasp/loop on it. My question is, is there some kind of specific knot made for 3 cords/ropes/strings, or maybe even just a way that I could somehow end them so that I could put a cap/crimp on it so I could attach a clasp? Thanks!

Here’s how to tie a sliding splice (to use as an adjustment on one end):
