Thank you for sharing this. I recently got into paracord bracelets and did not find this info anywhere until today. Through trial and error I got to the fusing the cords together and tucking the ends in with a fid but it was always a battle as I tend to keep my knots tight. Your tips were very helpful and I will be using them in the future. Keep up the good work. The video is very well put together and in the presentation.
Hopefully some one is checking the comments. I am in a nursing rehab facility and on oxygen as are lots of other rehab guests. Using any open flame or heat that may produce a flaming paracord is out of the question. I have been experimenting with glues. Clipping the core glueing the ends and weaving in seems to work. The down side is the time for the glue to dry. Has any one done any testing with this method?
Justgail68 I believe that was the problem with glue for me too. What type of glue are you using? I wonder if stitch witch fabric glue would be any better ... let me reach out to paracord Facebook group and see if they have any ideas :)
Big thumbs up! And you should monetize this video. It's that good! Helpful and practical, you did great! I used a Jewelry tool to hook it and pull it through somewhat like a crochet needle. Thank you.
I am sure what part you are referring to longer than 3 inches for, halter looks to be a complex task though, gl and I would like to see the final product once you are finished :)
***** i made a FB page for it.. if you search Pony Be Good should come up.. I have the Prototype done, already it came out looking great, I just need to make it a tad shorter then what it shows in the picture.. now working on another model.. i like it so far its relaxing.. lol
Lately I'm just not liking the way the singed look on the ends of the paracord/project looks, at all. To me personally, it seems very noticeable. But there's just not many other options. 🤷🏻♀️
Say I want to make 6" bracelet with buckle how much paracord will I need for it? Say I want to make 7" bracelet with buckle how much paracord will I need for it? Say I want to make 8" bracelet with buckle how much paracord will I need for it? Say I want to make a 9" bracelet with buckle how much paracord will I need for it? Thanks for your help Ur friend, Melissa
If you want it to look less bulky, cinch back the outer shell of the paracord and remove the inner material. When you pull through it will stay flat and look more professional.

thanks for the help! ready to finish my first project!!
Wonderful demonstration, especially of the tying off which so any other similar videos omit - thanks.
Thank you. I had been looking for a cleaner way to finish and I like the Hemo the best.

Hobby Lobby also caries the brass fid back in section they have the Para Cord supplies or where ever they have there Tandy Leather stuff
Great finishing tips!
Great instruction. Thanks.
do you use the blue part of the flame? or does it matter?
thanks
I'm going to make paracord halters for horses.. would recommend making it longer then 3 in to close it out?

I love horses.... I've never thought of that. it's a good idea
Great! Thanks.
very good info, thanks :-)
Mellisa for every inch of bracelet you need a foot of paracord
couldn't you just use the Fid to make a hole?
great

Those are "long nose" pliers, not "needle nose" pliers. Needle nose might work well.
So what's the difference in those two- needle nose and long nose pliers?

Ur friend,

i find tucking ruins the look of my bracelets
Sometimes it does turn out bulky, especially on a thick weave. I just find it more professional than burning the ends though :)
***** i burn the ends and it looks just fine ..... professional is for the professionals ....
