How to Make a Paracord Bracelet

What you will need

* Lighter* Paracord* Scissors* Release buckle/clip* Tape measure

Step 1: Cut the paracord

Cut the paracord to length. Approximately 8ft for an 8" bracelet. Then take your release clip and thread one half of it onto the middle of the cord. In this tutorial I am making a two color bracelet to make it easier for you to see what I am doing. If you are doing a two color bracelet you will need to use alighter to heat the two ends and melt them together.

Step 2: Get ready to start weaving

Add the other side of the clip onto the end of the paracord and pull tight. Make sure you have got them on the right way round! Give it a little test by clipping it together before you start. To be able to thread the paracord efficiently you may want to anchor the two ends to ensure it is pulled tight as you weave.

Step 3: Start your weave/plait

Take the cord on the right and loosely cross it over the center. Take the cord on the left and take it under the center and up through the cord on the right. Pull, and it should make a knot. Now swap and do the same but starting with the cord on the left.

Step 4: Start your weave/plait

Repeat this action again and again, alternating sides as you go. Remember to keep pulling the cord as tight as you can.

Step 5: Keep weaving!

If it looks something like this you are on the right track!

Step 6: When you have reached the other end

Fit as many weaves in as you can and then once again pull as tight as possible.

Step 7: The end

Then simply cut the ends of the paracord and burn them with a lighter to make sure they stay in place and don't unravel. More details pls visit: http://www.pandahall.com/
