Very nice tutorial. I made 10 of these for an upcoming arts and crafts show my wife is part of. When switching from the snake knot to the cobra I used one of each color for the cobra knot instead of two he same for a different effect on several.
These *Paracord Keychains* are quickly becoming my new favorite hobby and I appreciate you sharing this recent video! I just finished making this one and even though it has a standard 'chrome' split ring, I still really like the two color-combinations. Using oddball brand paracord to make these (the kind you find at your local Walmart or Ace Hardware, for example) and am now convinced I need to give your suggested Amazon paracord manufacturers a try. Thank you for sharing this content and looking forward to the next video!
I also dislike seeing white blobs at the melted ends and often black marker doesn't look great either with some colors. Here is an option for you to try. Cut the paracord leaving about 1/4" to 1/2" longer than you normally would. Pull back the outer sheath of the cord and cut off the inner white cords so that you have a length of hollow sheath at the end. When you melt it it will be the same or similar to the color of the cord with no white blob. If you melt it a lot, the colored blob can be left to turn blact but it will be smooth and very shiny and ebony like. That blob can be left in a dome shape or it can be flattened with a smooth metal ruler which will also leave it flat but shiny and smooth.
I used to keep my keys on a bracelet so they didn’t get lost in the bottom of my purse or lost in my many pockets. So I’ll make mine to function this way. Thanks!
Hi there, i love this, new subscriber to your channel. Made one in black and white, a little bit shorter than in your video, but non the less, in love with it. Now to try other colour combinations
Hello Tim, what is the circumference of the hand hold. I believe you also mentioned the cobra portion was 1.5 inches. Thank you for the tutorials. I am hooked now.
I have been searching through your channel trying to find a bracelet that I have figured out how to make but I do not see a tutorial on it. I am going to make a tutorial on how to make it but I was wondering if you would be interested in making a tutorial of it as well I would love to see it on your channel for everyone to learn how to make and thank you for all your great content
I have a question about tension. I do some knitting & crocheting, and when I started I never understood what others mean about tension on the yarn until years later someone explained to me. So when it comes to using paracord making these intricate designs, how tight should they be? Obviously not too lose or you'll see gaps, would assume. I'm currently making a bracelet adding a charm to it that I would like to wear, using the cobra design. However I came to a snag where I would tend to pull on it too tight to the point where it will curl and not be a little flat. So I'm trying to keep the core middle strands flat side-by-side so they don't curl and overlap. Basically how much tension is needed to get the overall outcome. I hope you make a video about it. I'm more of a visual learner. Thank you for your time to read this.
I find with most designs with paracord, the knots need to be pulled really tight. It is important if you want to keep the shapes. Over time and with wear and exposure to water, often paracord will tend to twist and if the knots are loose the shape of the design may migrate away from the way you intended it to look. There are thousands of charms and beads, and gizmos designed to be attached to paracord. They come in a huge number of shapes and sizes. However not all charms go well with all weaves / knots. Depending on what you consider important in the design, you may need to choose a different charm or use a different knot. And I think using strong tension on the knots produces the best results with paracord.
Keep up the good work, love your vids. Can you make a bracelet that comes undone easily and holds survival fishing gear. Thank you so much. Have a great week
Tim, thanks you for another great design. I have some Ukranian friends and I decided to make them some with their national colors and a couple of tweaks to the design. - I used both colors for the active part of the cobra section. - Terminated both loose strands at the keyring end of the cobra section at the same point, melting them together in order to make it more difficult for the knots to come apart during use as a keychain. - Melting the other 2 loose ends at the botton of the snake knot loop can be a bit tricky and messy. Therefore rather then terminating those ends at the bottom of the snake knot section, while forming the cobra core, I cut the cords approx 1/2" short of the snake knot loop so that the weaving cords of the cobra section would conceal and bind them and no melting was required. Here is a photo if you wish to see what it looks like. drive.google.com/file/d/1FmyEw0Pjf4xG85yEvktr5B4x2-yEuqNm/view?usp=sharing Cheers, Murray
Looks great Murray, even better than mine! And you're most very welcome for the tut. Hope your Ukrainian friends enjoy them. Thanks for stopping by as always!
@@TheWeaversofEternity Thanks Tim! I don't think it's better than your, just a bit different. And if the situation in Ukraine settles down, I was told by Dymon Storage that I could use it to access any of their facilities (lol).

Love all your videos Tim. Gives me inspiration for new projects
Thanks for this, just getting started with tactical knitting and my wife said she'd like a keychain with a strap, I'll be making one of these soon!
Very nice, I will be making myself one of these this weekend in my down time. Thanks for sharing.
You're welcome Mel, have a relaxing weekend!
this turned out amazingly well. Thank you for the great tut!
Brother I’ve been looking for a new keychain. This is it!!!! Great work as always!
This is soooooo cool 👏👏👏thank you so much for sharing with us ✌️
Very clearly explained, Thank you, from Australia
Excellent video and knots. Thank you for your time.
I really like the sharpie at the end, I never liked seeing the white showing thru after the cords are cut and burned.
I also dislike seeing white blobs at the melted ends and often black marker doesn't look great either with some colors. Here is an option for you to try. Cut the paracord leaving about 1/4" to 1/2" longer than you normally would. Pull back the outer sheath of the cord and cut off the inner white cords so that you have a length of hollow sheath at the end.

That blob can be left in a dome shape or it can be flattened with a smooth metal ruler which will also leave it flat but shiny and smooth.
@@paracordwizard I've thought about doing it like that, 👍 unless it's really noticeable the marker is quick and doable
I love everything about this.
Love all your videos! Made a few of your projects already! So fun

Hello Tim, what is the circumference of the hand hold. I believe you also mentioned the cobra portion was 1.5 inches. Thank you for the tutorials. I am hooked now.

So nice and simple
Less is more sometimes ☺
what way do u use the brass torch hook
The flashlight doesn't have a pocket clip, so I use the hook to hook it to the seam of my back pocket.
@@TheWeaversofEternity so light in pocket clip over edge
What music do u use it rlly chill
could you make a harness in format H please thank you and sorry my English is that I use a translator
New to paracord weaving. Can you tell me name of butane torch you use that gives such a small flame?
That is the Iroda Micro Jet lighter.
@@TheWeaversofEternity Thanks
It would help if you included the length of the paracord
0:25
5.5 feet
Great ,made one for myself
Keep up the good work, love your vids. Can you make a bracelet that comes undone easily and holds survival fishing gear. Thank you so much. Have a great week
I made one as soon as the vid dropped
Thanks so much
Putting a steel o ring large enough in that loop and you got something.
I was going to throw away some "fake" paracord, until I saw this video. Working on my second keychain now.
Yes, that's what she said.
Благодарю автора за видео.
Super tanks
Idea for the next Paracord issue.🇺🇦.
Well ain’t that just the bees knees!!! :) spiffy…
🙏

Just made one of these. I bit longer. Now I wanna incorporate a monkeys fist to the end.
That would be really cool!
👍👍👍👍
