How do you make a paracord bracelet like this?

  • Come along to the amazing Summer Moot (21st July - 2nd August), a festival of bushcrafting and camping in a beautiful woodland PLEASE CLICK HERE for more information.
Thats a ladder rack braid; same technique I used to make a hat band; here is the link:

Also, to attach you'll want to include loops on both sides, then you can attach with a prussik like I did here:

I have a video explanation on youtube for a pack handle, but the video has a link to my website which I think it against forum rules.

That looks great :) Not sure it's against the rules to post a link to your youtube vid - but what do i know!

Could you possibly PM me the link?

I get mine from www.thebushcraftstore.co.uk/ and thats where I get my paracord from too. Nothing to do with store etc etc... just a happy customer

incredibly cheap for para chord... pence per foot is amazing! AND they have it in every flipping colour you can think of! we arent allowed to use green para chord as special people kept clothes lining themselves.... sigh.... so multi coloured it is!

ive posted my own youtube vids on here about hammocks.... cant see that sharing information is a problem, your website isnt another bushcraft forum competing is it! no different to posting any other link on here.....
 
I made a King Cobra for a handle. Its not difficult its a cobra and then back again..

The same weave can be used for watch straps too...

But it looks even better in two colours

I find that weave harder than the cobra weave. With the cobra you just pull each knot as tight as you can. Whereas with this weave you have to keep the same tension throughout the length of the bracelet to make it look right.

Okay just to confirm, blatant self promotion is not allowed.

A link to your website in your signature is allowed as long as there is a reciprocal link on your website.

Answering a question isn't a problem and in this case you were the only person that nailed what the braid was called and how to make it. As far as I am concerned the link was for informational purposes and there was no real self promotion (in as much as you just identified a location that showed how to manufacture the braid).

Thanks for being both mindful of the rules and informative with your post.

Leon.

Good call & thanks again paracordist :)
 
liking the lanyard uber muchyness....any tutorials around? I recent got a neck knife and have a rather chunky home made lanyard that I'm not over happy with.


I use the TIAT tutes on youtube (Tie it all together) along with stormdranes blog and some google fu.

The lanyard is a simple solomon bar (more commonly called Cobra Stitch in these parts)
