Paracord Bracelets?
 

I don't make them, but I think it'd be a nice thing to get, if only because I like to be well-prepared for any sort of emergency. (Also, spiffy bracelets, and at worse, I could just clip it to the carabiner on my belt loop.)

I made a paracord dog collar, and i have made several bracelets. I use paracord for fancy rope work, like rope corsets, and may have a few photos taken in March-April time range for a friends expo on 'exotic kinks'.

Tee hee. Tee hee hee. Exotic kinks. Heee.

most people can, just pretty stuff. Rope work is fun.

I had to google paracord to find out what it was. I've never used the stuff, but I recognize the knots from when I made friendship bracelets and did hemp work. Mostly the one that looks like a row of 'V's. I didn't see any pictures of it done, but if you use the same knot as you would for the 'V' pattern, but don't alternate sides, it makes a spiral.

*raises hand* I've made bracelets before and need to again. It's rather fun and a good way to pass the time to say the least.

Half hitch knot, called a half hitch spiral if you don't alternate.

It's pretty simple. Hardest part is what kind of catch or keep you use...knot and loop, button and loop, buckle, or even a fancy metal release. I've only done the knot and button options....haven't had any buckles on hand when I was making.

Yep. Plenty of paracord to do so....then again you can never have enough paracord!

So they sell a lot of the supplies to make these bracelets where I work and I see kids going crazy. I think its a nice idea that a fashion item also doubles as a survival too and it is a hell of a lot more useful then a rubber band bracelet.

So how would you finish one of these bracelets? I've always just knotted the strings through a bead or used them as ties to attach to the beginning loop. I'm not sure how one would add a buckle.

I used to do the paracord stuff...I think I gave away all my cord @_@
