Where can I purchase a gold drawstring for a king size sleeping bag being made from Crown Royal bags? I want continuous rope and not to have to piece the originals together? Any help would be appreciated.

Hello, my name is Shay. I am making and donating face mask that I ha e made from Crown Royal Bags. If you still have them available I could pay for the shipping and etc if you still want to let someone use them. If not that is fine. Just thought while I was making CR bag mask I might as well keep on working on them.
Or white rope and dye it !! Another project for Crown Royal Bags: aprons, pot holders, coasters..
The place to get your bags for free. Are local bars are restaurants in bars? Friend Amanda's saves her bottles from her bar for me and the bags, so just find some of your local bars. And if you don't want to go, ask a friend who does go to ask if they will sale them to you a lot of them will give them to you.or Trade what you make for bags?
Many online shops will have it if you do a search for gold wrapped cord. Here is a nice one:

Sounds like you are saying you want a 'roll' of gold cord so you will not have to sew ends together?
Most places will sell this in packages of 1-5 feet but you may be able to go to Michael's or Jo Ann's and buy the roll or as many feet as you think it will take.
You can also try online (you will need to know what size, rolled or twisted, washable or dry clean only (type of material - polyester, rayon, etc) but the craft stores can help you with this is you're not sure.

Check with your local craft/fabric store.
Hello, other posters have given you some good suggestions for the where. If I may, some guidance for the how. Because a sleeping bag is going to get a lot of wear and tear, you may be best to purchase several of the same size rolls or cones of thin gold cording, gather them together and crochet (or knit or macrame or braid) one long, THICK strand that can stand up to being pulled and washed.
I used to make draw string purses out of yarn and bleach bottle bottoms and found a single strand of yarn would break after a few uses, but when I crocheted a thicker strand from several balls of yarn, that tie would hold up well.
Post back with your final project!! Hope it all works out for you!
