12" for every inch of cobra knot. This is exactly the information I came here to find. It worked like a charm!!! I am not making a bracelet, I made a duck call lanyard!!! Great video.
Thank you! Very informative. I've started making bracelets again and have been having a time getting the lengths right. There has been some great tutorials I've followed, and have had amazing turnouts with the weaving. When i go to try on my finished work disappointment sets in. Not giving up and never giving in!
If you're accurate enough and you have less than a foot left over I always make paracord peeps, I buy the little split rings the little tiny wooden beads 6 in for the body 6 in for the leg perfect use of extra cord
Hello. Personally, when I create my bracelets, (in Cobra model), I measure the wrist loosely, then I add 3 cms that I multiply by 12 if I only need one thread. Or by 6 if my bracelet is two-tone. Ex: my wrist is 19 centimeters so. 19 + 3 (12) = 264 cms But only for cobras or King cobras because it adds thickness. This way you don't have any thread loss or too short a thread estimate.
Question; I have often, a bounce back effect from the cord, due to the strands from the inner core, how do you remedy to that..? I removed the inner and it seemed fine for a small size cord, but can i make a bracelet void of its core and it still look good..? Thanks
Hello. Your video is very helpful. But I have one question. When you measure the paracord according to your wrist do you put the buckle in that measurement or separated? I mean if I need a bracelet 21cm in those cm I must include the buckle? Total measurement or if I have a buckle of 6cm my paracord should be 21-6=15cm?
Ok. I’m not doing inches. I’m making or want to make a 7 foot horse reins out of paracord out of the cobra knot. How many feet of paracord do o need for 7 foot? Would I double or triple the rope?
He mentioned 1ft of cord per inch if weave. So if you're making a 7ft rein.. 12" in a foot, so 12x7= 84. You're looking to make an 84in reign so I THINK you'd need 84 ft
so im doing a long strap for a lunch box with three different strands of cord. i’m doing a double wide cobra the strap needs to be 48” long. how long do all my straps need to be? 48’?
Hi! We just made a new video on this topic: th-cam.com/video/ThGJSqLxy2c/w-d-xo.html. In writing though, if you have an 8" wrist diameter, you'll want your bracelet to measure 9" from the teeth on the male end of the buckle to the cow hitch on the female end of the buckle. We explain why in that video, but basically, half of the buckle doesn't count because it gets covered up. Let us know if that helps!
Can I assume you mean Bane's Cuff instead of Babe's. The width is irrelevant and doesn't factor into any calculation. Measure the thickness the same way on the Bane with a flat top and the Bane with the pryamid peak - it's from the bottom to the top of the peak. Imagine that you placed a 1" wide solid 5" thick doughnut on top of you car's tire. The outside diameter of your tire would go from 26" to 36" and all the physics would follow. Cheers, Murray
Last century, when I was a Boy Scout (in the good old days when we actually learned “stuff”), we learned that, if you started a project like this, figure out the amount of materials we needed and add 10% (yes, we could do percentages - without a computer, iPhone or calculator - by the time we reached the minimum age to be a Boy Scout; even a Cub Scout could do it).
OH MY GOODNESS.... this is what I was looking for !!! looked high and low but I found you. Thanks !!
Glad it helped. Thank you for watching!

Just about to start this adventure and this is one of the most important videos I've been looking for, thanks a million 👍
Best of luck!
Thank you, this video will help me resolve the exact issue I’ve been having!

What thickness cord do you prefer
Ok. I’m not doing inches. I’m making or want to make a 7 foot horse reins out of paracord out of the cobra knot. How many feet of paracord do o need for 7 foot? Would I double or triple the rope?

how much do you allow for shrinkage when it gets wet and redries?
so im doing a long strap for a lunch box with three different strands of cord. i’m doing a double wide cobra the strap needs to be 48” long. how long do all my straps need to be? 48’?
A good way to estimate is 1 foot for every 1 inch of Paracord, so yes! 🪐
Been ending up with so much wasted material. Thank you for your video.
The best video! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
If my paracord bracelet should be 9inches with the clasp then I should measure 9 feet of cord, do I understand correctly?

Does this sizing method if i wanna make something that i wanna wrap around my head? Like a crown or a headband?
That's a good question. Depending on the fit you want, you should start with about 3 inches extra length.
@@ParacordPlanet cool
Q. What is the size of paracord in mm?
Q. What you call that lock which you use to tie the bracelet?
Thanks really helped.
Perfect video....thank you!
thanks for the tutorial
i learned a lot😊
Take into matter the moisture it captures.
Nice job!
Thanks!
Need to a bending allowance that we use in sheet metal work
But how do I size for bracelets that are thick, and wide like Babe's cuff both versions?

Can you make video showing how to measure out 7 feet?
un grand merci
Very useful. Thank you.
I make all my bog collers
I need Arabic translation 😭😭
