TIPS:
* If you get the paracord wet it will harden the cord and shrink it. Bad thing that could happen if your paracord bracelet is allready a bit tight on the wrist is, it will become too tight for your wrist and maybe uncomfortable. If your paracord bracelet is too big around your wrist dip it in water and it will shrink to some level.

One good thing: if you dip your monky's fist in water it will stiffen the paracord around
the center marble.
* There are many objects you can use as buttons, for example I used a plastic button from an old tracksuit. You just need to drill a hole in the center, slide in the paracord and fuse the end cord rounding it nicely with a wet finger.
The same thing could be done with metal button from your old jeans, I got one from my old Jeans (see photo).
Another old trick is using a penny, you just need to drill a hole in the center and you have a great DIY button.
Every one has old stuff laying around that could be used to upgrade your paracord creation into something cool.

I honestly like your blog more than stormdrane's blog. his is amazing, but you have so many more diagrams and instruction. love it
Thank you for your positive comment. Stormdrane's blog is very good and he is very talented with his paracord creations. Before I started this blog I was looking at many sites, blogs, videos etc' only some are well informative, I didn't find site that shows step by step guides (images) for every creation. youtube is great but some people prefer still images guide.
Anyway, happy you enjoy my blog I will create more guides soon.

Hi, I would like to honor my friend who is a Viet Nam Vet by making him a survival bracelet or something similar. Can you tell if using the 3 colors (red,yellow & green)would create something too bulky to wear? I have some 2cm wide buckles.
Thanx for your time-
HI davis, Thank you for your comment.I think your friend will appreciate a survival bracelet, it is a great gift. I made many of them for my friends and they are very happy with them. The "king cobra" stitch is a bit bulky and it takes awhile getting used to it on the wrist. The 2 color survival bracelet is very comfortable on the wrist if you have doubts ;-)
Hi, I just found your site and like your projects! Where do you find the "skull" accessories? Thanks
Hi, my sister had a parcord breast cancer bracelet whith a pink ribbon tied into it and I was wondering if there was anything else u could put in a paracord bracelet instead of the pink ribbon, like a black and yellow bracelet whith a little bat on it for batman or something like that.

I READ SOMEWHERE ONLINE THAT YOU SHOULD BOIL YOUR PARACORD FIRST SO IT WON'T SHRINK. WHAT DO YOU THINK?
@Davis, another way to build the Vietnam Service Ribbon bracelet is by using the 'thin red line' pattern. Use the green and yellow for your base (I work the green to the outside to mimic the service ribbon) and work in the red line down the center, over the yellow. I made about 40 of them for a local veteran's group, and they were hugely popular.
Hi Friends,I found variety of Lanyards form WIZID_Australia. It’s unbelievable we can create our own lanyards online - printed, personalized or plain cheap lanyards and they provided bulk discounts, delivery Australia wide!Lanyards Australia
