Beaded Key Fob or Bracelet. The holes in the beads or charms will determine what size of paracord to use. Most beads are best suited for 275 cord or type 1 (95) cord. If you don't want the clasp shown which is used for the key fob it can be traded out for a bracelet clasp or buckle for a bracelet. This can be customized so many ways because of the huge variey of beads/charms.

Workplace wardrobe malfunctions are the worst. The embarrassement, red face, laughter and all that goes with it. What you supposed to do?

I just happen to know a fix for that. In this case I used 550 paracord color ground war. Fixed it right up.

A pretty good tip can be made on the end of paracord that will be used for a shoe lace so it will go through the eyelet with ease. Instructions for tip making. Heat an end of one of the paracords to the molten stage where the sheath and the inner strands are melted together (sheath only if using coreless or gutted cord). Lick your thumb and forefinger before you mold the molten end to a nice tip. If you do this to soon your fingers will hurt and may require you to lick them again. In extreme circumstances some of the hurt on your finger could end up on your tounge and cause it to hurt also. When this happens instantaneous sputtering usually occurs and the offended finger is now trying to help get the hurt off your tounge. Now don't think I'm insensitive because I have not mentioned the other gyrations, motions and utterances that also may occur, but crap happens. I kinda, just maybe, mighta outta have started out saying a little patience is good before playing with molten paracord material. However, if you are to slow (patient) and it has cooled to much it won't mold well. In this case heat the end to the molten stage and start over exersicing a little less patience. Hope this was helpful. Always trying you know.

Pictures of the finished product.

The next pictures are from previous experiments with paracord and bungee (shock) cord for shoelaces.

I have an article I wrote about this experiment. Article link.

Practice paracord jig and projects. I'm an old farm boy and this is the homemade jig I use for the trial run on a new pattern. All of the cords on the jig are 550 paracord. It has six cords I can use for the center core of the bracelet. I can pick how many I want to use. It has a total of eight other cords for making the bracelet. Of the eight cords there are six colors: four singles and two sets of two that are the same color. I can play around, mix and match until I find something I like. If I want to add a smaller cord for a highlight I add it in as needed. When I have a pattern that works I choose the colors I want and make it on another jig. Most of the time I have to disassemble the practice one to see how to make the new one. Between bad memory, all the twists and turns, and the first time doing it I usually can't remember how I got to what I liked. As I do the new one on the other jig I take pictures as I go. 

The bottom of the jig is made from a piece of 3/4" counter top. I used 2x4 blocks for the large uprights on the ends. The height of the blocks make it really easy to get a fid needle under the bracelet. The small block attached to the 2x4 is for slipping the number core cords I'm going to use between it and the 2x4. I pull them tight and tighten the screws. I have a small hand held electric drill just for that purpose. I use the torx head screws and driver on those two screws which makes it really easy.

This final picture of the bracelets are what I came up with in a two week time period. They have been made on the practice jig as I watch TV at night. If I have used a particular pattern of someone else's or modified it I give them credit for it. I usually name the bracelets just to keep track of them when posting. I don't claim any of the weaves as original because I don't know if they are. However, I'm sure some of them are original, but how would I know with the neverending amout of weaves out in the world. Most of them are original to me as I set there and play with cord till I find something I like. If I ever seem to copy someone it is by accident. I've been told a time or two I've used a name of someone else's bracelet and I just simply go change the name of mine.

With the amount of paracord colors to choose from now in either solid or multi colored cord, there is no reason you can't find a color combination that works for what you want to do.

Love / Hate 550 Paracord Bracelet. I don't often use patterns or mixed color combinations together. However, I thought this one worked out ok. 550 cord colors breast cancer awareness, black and urban camo. This bracelet measures 1 1/8" wide and 5/8" thick.

Titanium and Acid Purple 550 Paracord Bracelet. This bracelet is 11/4 inch wide and 1/2" thick. This is a very striking color combination. The bracelet is named for the 550 cord colors used. I like the back as well. On the last picture in the middle on the right side I would make all the acid purple like that instead of like the two above and below it. That would make the bracelet lay a little flatter along with being comfortable to wear. It would also look better if you wanted the back to be the front of the bracelet.

Slippery Slope 550 Parcord Bracelet. It is 1 1/2" wide and 1/2" thick. This bracelet combines two multi colored cords together. I've only combined multi colored cord a few times. This one turned out okay for color but the woven pattern is one of my favorites. A different choice of colors would have shown off the bracelet pattern much better like a solid and multi color or two solids. 550 cord colors used for this bracelet was black widow and touch of gray. Two multi colored cords I do like combined together are lava flow and urban camo combined with one or more solid colors like red, yellow or black.
