Paracord is a cord that deserves special attention. Careful development and long tests have made it possible to launch mass production of this high-end cord, which has already gained the trust and interest of people involved in very different kinds of activities.

Paracord is a lightweight and durable kapron (Nylon 6) rope covered with a sheath. Its main advantages are reliability combined with the versatility of application. Due to its low weight, smooth surface, durability, brightness and decorativeness, it became widely used both for practical purposes (different kinds of sports, hunting, fishing) and for the creation of ultra-fashionable accessories and decorations.

Today I prepared Instructions for paracord bracelets for you – we will weave a two color bracelet out of 550 paracord. For the clasp, we will use a metal anchor.

To weave a bracelet, we will need materials and tools.

Instructions for paracord bracelets. Bracelet size.

In order to weave a paracord bracelet, I took two pieces – 2 meters long each. I connected them together. The total length was 4 meters. Then I weaved the bracelet. I had two pieces of 65 cm and 54 cm left, for a total of 119 cm. I used 2 m 81 cm of paracord for making my bracelet. The length of the bracelet is 23 cm with the anchor and without the anchor – 21.5 cm. You should think for yourself how many meters of paracord you will need for your bracelet.

How to connect two pieces of paracord.

First of all, connect two pieces of paracord of different colors. Melt both ends of the paracord at the same time. Then, connect them at once.

Instructions for paracord bracelets.

Slide both ends of the paracord through the anchor holes. Pull the paracord through, leaving a length equal to the size of your bracelet.

Fix the paracord and anchor on the weaving tool considering the size of the bracelet.

Tie knots of the paracord (see photo below).

Let’s start weaving the bracelet. Make the first knot on the paracord on the right side.

Tighten the knot. Make the second knot a little differently (see photo).

Make the same knots on the left side.

Once again, go to the right side and make two knots.

Weave the entire bracelet diligently and don’t forget to alternate the knots.

Finish weaving the bracelet. Tie two more knots. This is almost the end of our today’s Instructions for paracord bracelets.

Tighten the knots. Cut the paracord and leave the ends about 5 mm long. To keep the paracord from unraveling, melt it and press it down. Melt one end first and press with a lighter to flatten it. Then do the same with the other one.

The bracelet is ready. I hope you enjoyed my Instructions for paracord bracelets. You can use the bracelet on either side. The patterns are different, but both are pretty. My anchor clasp also looks good on both sides.
