Paracord three chain bracelet. I used 275 paracord to make this bracelet. One advantage of 275 cord is you can get a lot of detail or design with the width if you made it with 550 cord. This bracelet is 1 1/4 inches wide and 3/8 inches thick. Doing the same design with 550 cord would have doubled its wide and thickness. Wider and thicker is fine if you want a larger bracelet. Using 550 cord goes a lot faster because there is only half as much braiding with the l

arger diameter cord.
