I have made loads of paracord bracelets and nearly always ware one. But I was amazed when I got the latest heinnie catalogue as for that they were selling these wilson tactical.
For £12.99!!!!
So I thought I would put this tutorial on how to tie your own with just 10 foot of Paracord. No Buckle needed.
Step 1 the button loop
Start off with ten foot of your favorite paracord make a loop dead centre.
and start to tie a Chinese button knot.
next put your hand through the loop and pass the live end around to opposite piece of the loop and up through the middle.
Pull through to form first button knot and what will be the button 'hole'
Like this.
Work the loop back so the the loop will fit around you index finger.
Step 2 Tie the button
Right we now start the second Chinese button not that will this time form the button.
As before the live end it loop around and up through the centre.
This time when you start to pull it tight stick your finger through the centre. then pass the live end back through the centre to form two loops.
Pull the knot tight.
Check for size and adjust if needed.
Pull through most of the loops to form a couple of smaller ears.
Step 3 Tie the Cobra Stich.
Start like above.
Then loop the line going over the top back over the top as above.
and keep on going back and forth, always keeping the top line on top and the bottom on the bottom until you get all the way back to the first 'button loop' knot.
Also notice how the first of the cobra stitch loose and pulled forward. This forms the waist the button loop fit in.
Finnaly trim off and fuse the ends, and wear.
All from a single peice of cord and just a couple of knots.
Enjoy
Great tutorial , though !
