who makes paracord bracelets?

[DOUG APPLEGATE]

I've bought some paracord leashes, but I have not seen anybody making the paracord bracelets. Anybody out there know someone who does this?

Hi Doug-

Tie the paracord in a knot and you'll have a bracelet. They can also be made out of shoelaces, zip-ties, and rubberbands.

Check out this EBAY dealer: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=7303&item=7145974419&tc=photo

Also there were a few articles on-line to make your own. Those may still be available with a search. The price of the Ebay ones are hard to resist.

They are pretty easy to make. What are you looking for? Round, square, flat as the ebay offer is? They are the easiest to make. A little ingenuity and a little time and you'll be off and running.

Look to www.boondoggleman.com for a tutorial or twelve.

Member Hogosha makes the 23 Knots para cord bracelet honoring the 23 fallen NYPD Officers. I have several and they're very well made.

Here's a site that has the pattern for a knot bracelt, it's pretty simple: http://www.rings-things.com/Projects/68002-10.htm. The hard part is figuring out the details, like what to use for a clasp, and how to attach it.

That's the guy on Mercop's website right? Must be a good guy.

Hi, guys:

Here's a link to a tutorial on how to make a paracord bracelet. I've been making them with this method for awhile and they come out great.

Welcome to Bladeforums, Laura! This will make it a link:

A link has to start with either www or http:// for the forum software to know it's supposed to be a link.

Hi All-

The best one so far was with the smooth and quiet fastex buckle.

I make mine with a longer loop and a shorter button end. I slide a bead on the longer loop end and tighten it up against the button. If I want to remove the bracelet I slide the bead back making it easier to remove the loop from the button.

That's him. A little kooky, but has the right heart.

This one is not paracord but uses the same macrame knot, I made it flat on ends and spiral in the middle, the end knots are Mathew Walker. they are easy and fast to make really.

I tried this one several times. All of mine are twisting and won't lay flat. Is there a trick?

You have to alternate between the left and right side when you braid it up. You are not switching sides which gives it a twist.

 

[LauraQ]

K.V. is right: you have to alternate between left and right to get a nice flat braid.

If you are interested:

A google search for "macrame" or for "friendship bracelets" will get you instructions on this and similar knots and braids.

A search for "kumihimo" will get you information on a higher level of braiding.
