Paracord lanyard for backpack zipper

[Urwaljaeger]

Hi there all

Like to make my own lanyards for zippers on my backpack.
I´ve searched the web for instructions how to make these ones
direct attached to the zipper handle but there are none out there.
Someone who´s made it that might be willing to show some
pics of the procedure?

Have a look on Paracordist 's youtube channel he does a lot of good things,


I've done this a couple of times using small monkey fist knots tied around a knot

Cheers

Look for crown knot. In the end just trim flush and "solder" (with a lighter) the remaining ends.

That picture looks more like the cobra stitch over the crown knot. Either way, looks pretty good!

i believe the proper name for it is a solomon bar, i use it to make paracord bracelets

Yeah, its known as a solomon bar, cobra stitch or even a Portuguese Sinnet.

All the same thing, and very easy to start with.

I used a cobra stitch to make LONGGG bracelet/strap - I then tied it off after sticking my knife sheath on it, over my head and shoulder and it means my knife stays tucked away inside my jacket when I'm out and about - stops Joe Public having a panic attack and reporting me as some knife/axe-wielding maniac, and it is really re-usable depending on what I'm doing - I've used it to tie things down into my canoe before now

Hello chap, I make these to go on any zips i might need to open when gloved up!


cut a length as long as your arm, make a loop as wide as your palm,

repeat these steps as if looking in a mirror,

and repeat both, till your left with two little legs,

snip these off,

and melt back to hold them fast,

and your done

Nice and simple, very quick to make and you have a few lengths of string about your kit should you need them, if not then just easy access to your kit, I use bright string so as to find the zip easily

Hope that helps some one in some way,

Southey,
