- Paracord Fusion Ties - Volume 1: www.amazon.com/Paracord-Fusion... The web shows a variety of ways to make a four strand round braid. In short, I found all of them utterly confusing. So I studied the tie and came up with the following. Sigh of relief...this method is a whole lot easier! Video Production by JD of Tying It All Together

Thank you so much for this video, I don't understand why most every other tutorial I've watched does not do it this way. This made a huge difference on how long this braid now takes for me to make. Appreciate you!!! 🖤
i learned this round braid when i lanyarded a knife like 5 years ago, and when i went to rebuild that lanyard, i could not remember how it went, then i fought with the 4 strand round braid for as week+ before i gave up and accepted the 3 strand regular ole braid and its variations. THIS made the 4 strand so much easier to build that i did so immediately, and now won't ever forget how it goes again. thanks a million!
I'm so happy to have found this video. I saw it about 10 years ago & made two dog leashes. I need to replace one leash & couldn't remember how it went. I know it's simple, but a lot has happened in 10 years. My dogs were still juveniles back then, they're 13 years old. now. I think I'll make 2 matching leashes like before. Thank you for showing this simple method for making them ;-)
SO much easier than other methods I've seen - many thanks
Thanks! I'm using this to braid plant stems together and this was by far the clearest video I've found!
Thank you! My friends & I have been trying to make the diamond braid for days & could never get it! You are a life saver!
Holy cow! I learned this about 15 years ago in a medieval group, stopped using it and forgot. This looks very familiar. Many, many thanks for the refresher!
Great video, I thought this braid was going to be so complicated, but you make it look so easy. Thanks
Your videos are the BEST. You go slow and show each step. I really appreciate that. Thank you for sharing all of the different techniques!
This is fantastic. JD, your visual problem solving is fantastic. I love your book, your videos, and your site.
This looks so attractve and easy to make and it can be used in different ways. It's something the whole family came make. You can make it while traveling on a bus or any other place that's convenient.Thank you for sharing this.
Orange strands cross with "right" leg in front, blue strands cross with "left" leg in front.
This helped a lot. was working on a dog leash. Your video was just what I needed.
I got your 2 books and I am so happy with them. All your videos are great and clear and specially this one that all of the others are so confusing. Great job.
That was a very quick and easy braid! Thanks so much! I created a slip knot loop at the beginning, and a simple knot at the end for an easy and interesting bracelet.
This video is so helpful. I’ve been looking for a video that’s easy for me and once I found thieves video I was in shock that the four strand round braid is that easy. 💜💜🖤🖤😳😳
Ty I was so pissed at how difficult it was, then pissed at how simple. Haha! Awesome.
Thanks for this video! Took me a bit to get it as I'm just starting out, but I'm using nylon right now left over from my first leash to practice this diamond braid and using this way also to do the spiral. Makes braiding so much easier and faster for when I start making paracord leashes :D
thank you for this! much clearer than any tutorial I've seen (and I've seen a lot) for any application.
You have a very special gift of showing us how to do these amazing things. Your teaching is so simple clear and easy to understand that is the sign of a remarkable teacher!
And if I can understand something believe me anyone can ahaha!
Thank you. This video is really helpful, easily explaining the process which is very easy itself. And, to be true, this is the first case a video was more useful than a set of pictures for me. Greetings from Poland.
Very clear and easy to follow. I was looking for a quicker way and I've found it! Thanks!
Nice job JD! I've run into issues with some other ways of making this. Thanks for sharing with the group!
Cheers for posting this up mate! This one got me out of a bind...pardon the pun!
Nice job on the tutorial. As a person who uses this braid a lot, I highly recommend tying/pegging down one end onto a wall. Although with paracord it comes out nice and even, with thinner twine the braid will twist and kink if it isn't secured.
wrapped this around the cable from my headphones, works great!
This video helped a lot! I am working on some roping reins for my new bridle!
Great videos! My daughter and I are learning these together.
2020 Coronavirus Lockdown, Im bored as hell and decided to start learning how to make things with paracord, braiding, and eventually macrame style as a new hobby, I knew how to make 3 strand braids but not 4 strand ones, your video makes it so simple. I went and ordered your book too on amazon, thank you for sharing, i see the video is 10 years old, and last comment was 5 years old, this video is still awesome!
After I posted this I did see more recent comments so its still going strong, my bad.
Thank you! Looking for a way to make a softer, round leash that will be easier on my hands.This will work perfectly! Thanks for the tutorials.
I used this for my hair, since the video I was watching was so confusing ;). Makes ut easier to see how it's donne with the two different colors :D.
I will be able to do that one the first time. GREAT video JD
I did this with 108" of each color, and it produced 48" of braided line. Great video.
Nice I wonder if it could act as a safety line.... I also realized your comment is over 8 years old lol. I hope that life has been good for you since you wrote your comment, Stranger! Have a good'n'
The exact info i needed. Thanks for sharing it.
Just what I was looking for! I'm going to make a rope for a scuba-tank bell for this out of 1/4" paracord in two colors. Many thanks. Subbed.
When you do it, it look so easy! but it looks very intricate.
well i have to say your videos are fantastic they gave me several ideas for X-mas presents this year and really shown me wat an intriging art knot tying is. htank you very much for taking the time to make these videos, and God Bless.
p.s. I'v downloaded most of your vids from your site and ordered your fusion knots book today, again great job, keep it up
Great clip of how to do a 4 strand braid and at a speed that allows you to follow along and it is that easy.
Thanks.
Thank you for this excellent video ... love the music too.
This video great yet simple. I cannot wait to make some bracelets using this method..thxs a million
Thank you SO much for this!
Best tutorial I have seen for the four strand round braid. How would you end this when using a buckle?
Great video. Was so easy to see what you were doing. And I enjoyed the music.
Awesome! Thank you for sharing this.
Your videos are fantastic! Thanks very much for taking the time to do them! I greatly appreciate all your efforts!
Thanks a whole lot for showing us this....
This is the method I use to make dog leashes (specifically show leashes at the moment), and yes, they do make cool leashes! Right now, what I'm trying to learn is how to braid beads into them, but I have to figure out how to do small, almost unnoticeable knots so that I can do them on each side of a bead cluster so that they don't slide around. And THAT will be an even cooler leash. :D
Many thanks for share your knowledge !!!
It has helped me so much !
So easy to follow. thank you. You are a wonderful teacher. Cheers. :-)
video was clear and crisp I LOVED IT !
Great videos, EZ to grasp. Ordered your book.
Since I found your tutorial I have been using this braid again & again, thanks. Great work!
Thanks a ton for the video! Finally understood the concept!
Thank you. Very easy to follow thanks.
THANK YOU!!!!! YOU ARE THE ONLY PERSON O TH-cam THAT CAN EXPLAIN HOW TO DO THIS
Awesome! Hope this works on hair as well...this tutorial is infinitely easier to follow. :D
I like this guy.. he pauses between steps and really gives you a chance to catch up instead of me having to slow the video down.. the video does the job idc who doesn't like the music. just mute the video, put on some metallica and braid.. thats wut im fixing to do
\m/ >.< \m/
Great!!! But how to tye the knot at the end
Thanks bud made that easy to understand and do appreciate it
Beautiful work
Thanks! I've been using 550 cord with this to make some nice necklaces.
Cool and Thanks I was able to do this after the first two twists you did
Another great vid mate, thank you.
THIS IS SO HELPFUL!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! the only thing i don't know is how to tie it off! do you have another video for that?
Damn! Lol. As soon as I saw him loop that second strand, I said to myself, “you gotta be sh*tt*ng me! That’s it!?” Lol. Nice! Thanks for taking the time to spread the braid, bro!
Great video! Thanks for sharing.
I used this method with my hair and it makes an awesome braid! Lol
Great lesson and music! I'm pretty sure when we were kids, that this is how we used to braid coat hangers. It had the knots you made, circling the coat hanger. At the top of our coat hanger was a square finish - I can't for the life of me, figure out how we did it.
But I will tell you one thing.. I personally think it was a more productive way, building up skills in your hands, than being glued to a smart phone. (No batteries needed.)
Thank you, thank you, thank you. I thought I'd never find an easy way to do a four strand braid.
Nice I've been following the complicated, over involved instructions. Haven't tried it yet but when working with 20ft of cord i think the method you have developed will work much better and with much less tangling. Gonna try it soon but do you think this method could be used with increasing numbers of cord?
Love your videos and your books keep em coming.
I used this braid (called plait in whip making) along with many other patterns and number of cords to make an 8 foot whip. Cracks as loud as a gun shot. Though if you do feel like trying your hand at whip making, I recommend you use good quality 550 cord and pull the inner stands out. Makes for a smoother surface.
Looking for round braid for bucket ties and leadropes that can be made from twine and other materials. This works great! Looped ends around clasp end and weaved back thru. Makes a very strong lead and bucket rope. Thanks!
your right about that zamis21. i tried sooo many different videos, i couldn't make the thing straight or anything. THANK YOU SSSOOO Much :D
How do you make the ending knot it's so hard ??
Great vid, thanks for posting
really fantastic!
Wow! So much easier!! Thanks!! :)
This technique really is nice! much easier than all that left outter around and over...blah blah blah...can you do a video on a pinapple knot made over top of one of these? Love all your videos JD, great stuff!
I hear ya!...he does have a book called decorative fusion knots that I got at booksamillion. It helped to watch the video and have the book for reference. Lots of stuff in the book.
Thanks for this informal video
❤
Could you please share how to finish off once you have reached the desired length?
Thanks a lot for the video by the way, it is so much easier than the others I watched first!
Thanks!! I'm going to be using plastic rexlace/lanyard
esta linda y es muy facil, gracias por el tutorial
very nice, very helpful. thank you.
Any chance you have a ratio of how much paracord will produce how much braid?
great video also.
Muchas gracias saludos desde Argentina
Thank you !
Thanks TIAT
Thanks Sandy ;)
What is the overall length of the "finished piece" that would be helpful to start projects. thanks. good video by the way.
I'd like to try this as a lanyard - do you have suggestions for making it a loop?
thanks! i'm thinking of making a belt using this kind of knot!
This is so helpful! :D

If i wanted to make my braid 24 inches, what should the legnths of the 2 pieces of paracord be?
Pay attention to the direction your folding each strand, each time and keep them turning the same way the while time, and you may want to loop the lose stand under one of the turns from the monkey fist to hold it in place and snug. Make sure its close as possible to the base or it will look sloppy:)
I'm trying to do this with a centre cord but I'm having trouble getting it started.
I'm using 4 1mm coloured cord with 4mm paracord as the centre cord.
I've got the end attached to a ring (same as what your keys are attached to) so I can connect it to something which wont move, so I can pull it tight.
Could you do a vid to show how to do this please.
Very good tutorial
At the risk of posting a dumb question...
I think I have read all the comments and like many others here I would love to see how to finish this off.
I just tied a big overhand sort of knot with the four cords coming out dangling.
There has got to be a good way to make this into a lanyard or necklace??
Making a simple baldric carry sling for my knife using this knot.
nice vid as usual,, btw my amazon pre order says it will deliver by Jan 2011, is that true?
Good grief! So easy this way! I am going to do this with silver wire.
