Idiot proof instructions for paracord bracelets

[Man of Tanith]

Bear in mind my scout leader once threw up his hands in exasperation at my knot skills (or lack thereof)
Anyone got a link to a stupidly simple paracord bracelet tutorial?

I could do with that to. There's 2 things that don't stay in my head no matter what; Knots and algebra... Wonder if there's a connection

I am Knot-ically challenged and I managed to get the hang of it from youtube, just search "cobra weave paracord bracelet" and watch a few of the videos until you understand it. Remarkably simple once you get the hang of it and then you'll be able to make one in under 5 mins.
Hope this helps!

Don't have a tutorial but the key to knots is to learn what the knot looks like once tied. Once you know what you are aiming to end up with you are half way there I think

I've just had to make 10 for my sons birthday party gift bags. I made myself a little jig.

Made one with old cord then unravelled it to get the right length.

Screwed one male buckle in to a bit of wood at the top, then another female buckle at the bottom with the gap corresponding to desired wrist diameter.

When I come to make them I clip in the buckle bits top and bottom, thread up my length and off I go.

A good tip for these is that once you've lark-headed the buckle, tie a knot in one of the strands and remember "The one with the knot, goes over the top", in so much that is never goes behind the centre 2 strands/body but it goes over the other end, 2 strand centre and tucks back in, the process then repeats.

In the below picture, the strand on the left would have the knot on the end, but you can see the "over the top" part of the pneumonic as it has gone over the 2 center strands.
