Introduction: How to Make an Awareness/Support Ribbon

Square knotting makes an ideal base for a ribbon.

I started with two 5' lengths of 325 Paracord. You will also need a metal split ring.

Step 1:



About 7" from the bottom start the square knotting around the two cord core.

 








Step 2:

Make 3 square knots.

This will form one tab end of the ribbon. You can make more or fewer knots to vary the length of the tab end.









Step 3:



Now make a square knot (two steps) but do NOT include the right hand cord of the core you are tying around.





Step 4:



Begin tying again. The reverse side of the ribbon should show the cord you did not tie around.









Step 5:


Continue tying - I tied 24 square knots. Your length may vary.













I placed the split ring over the ribbon and threaded the 2 core ends through the space made in Step 3:













Step 6:







Pull the core ends as close as possible and tie one a VERY tight knot.

























Step 7:

Now tie 3 loose square knots. This forms the other tab.













Step 8:







Bring the ends through the knotting.













Step 9:

Tighten the knotting starting at the bottom.













Step 10:







Pull the ends through at the base of the tab.







Step 11:







Trim up the ends.
