While my passion dictates there can never be too many knots, sometimes for aesthetic purposes, less is more. You will need to decide. I would advise a tentative application at first, until you see what the effect is, so that you can determine how much you want to see and embellish this object of your desire. Experiment with color, thickness, type, mixture, texture, and form until you are more familiar with the base on which you are working or the stand-alone object you create. From this you may then determine (or perhaps you knew all along!) what would be most suited to your task, so that you can feel confident in creating your own masterpiece. Decorative knotting is my unbridled passion—I cannot get enough of decorative knots! Along the way, I learned several techniques when I had no idea what this passion might involve.

Ask any one who has ever worked with paracord that there is probably no accurate way to measure the exact length of paracord required to make something. That is the reason there will always be tons of paracord scrap. Ask any beginner, tons of the cord is wasted because of improper choice of lengths or improper technique used. Look at the picture above and you will see what I mean. Those small pieces of paracord always got me thinking that there must be something that can be done or made with those. I did a lot of search on the internet and found some great Ideas, I also came up with some original ideas of mine too.

Certain general principles govern the tying of all knots and apply to all types of materials. 1. The completed knot must be firm, and so tied that slipping is virtually impossible. The simplest knot for the material is the most desirable. 2. The knot must be as small as possible to prevent an excessive amount of tissue reaction when absorbable materials are used, or to minimize foreign body reaction to nonabsorbable materials. Ends should be cut as short as possible. 3. In tying any knot, friction between strands ("sawing") must be avoided as this can weaken the integrity of the knot. 4. Care should be taken to avoid damage to the material when handling. Avoid the crushing or crimping application of surgical instruments, such as needleholders and forceps, to the strand except when grasping the free end of the weave during an instrument tie. 5. Excessive tension applied by the weaver will cause breaking of the knot and may cut tissue. Practice in avoiding excessive tensio

A secure knot for attaching a line to a hook is the cat’s paw, which can be tied in the hand, then slipped onto the end of the hook. Start with a large bight of line, and fold the top of the bight over onto the standing parts (1) to form two bights. Begin twisting the bights inward toward each other (2). After making at least two complete twists, place the tops of the bights together and position them on the end of the hook (3). Pull the free ends to snug up the twists, and ensure that there is no space in the top of the bights around the hook (4) This is a great way to hang your planters or anything you need to hang from a hook.

Chart of Cancer Awareness Colors from Choose Hope 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.
