Crafting with Paracord

CREATIVE PROJECTS USING PARACORD

Since paracord is so versatile, anyone can have the chance to try and make something for their loved ones.

Just a few items I have done with paracord.

 

Heart Key Fob

Materials:

6 feet of 425 paracord Heart shaped split ring Round split ring Beads optional

{Cost for this project starts at $3.50}

Step 1:

Fold your paracord in half. Insert the center of the cord down through the heart split ring.

If you are using beads, thread one on the right cord now.

Step 2:

Insert both sides of the cord down through the loop in the center of the cord and pull tight. Position at the bottom left side of the heart ring.

Step 3:

With the right cord, insert the end down through the heart and bring it up through the loop it created. Pull tight. Repeat the process until both ends return to top of ring, locking it in.

Step 4:

Bring the same end up through the heart and down through the loop it created. Pull tight.

Bring the working ends down through the center of the cords as shown.

With the working ends at the top of the heart, insert them through the round split ring and position to desired length.
Cross the working ends with A over B. Repeat steps 3 and 4 with the left cord. Continue the process until the heart is covered adding beads as desired.

Step 5:

Bring A over the left cord and under the right cord. Pull tight and push A up toward the split ring.

Step 6:

Bring B over the right cord and under the left cord. Pull tight and push B up toward the split ring.

Use a lacing needle to insert the cord as the space gets smaller. Once you reach the end, trim and melt the ends. It should look like this. Continue repeating steps 5 and 6 alternating left and right sides. Keep everything tight as you work.
