What is a Paracord Bracelet?

A paracord bracelet is a type of survival bracelet made from paracord‚ a strong and durable cord used by military personnel and outdoor enthusiasts. The bracelet is designed to be worn as a fashion accessory‚ but it also serves as a useful tool in emergency situations‚ providing up to 3 meters of paracord that can be used for shelter‚ first aid‚ and other survival needs.

Materials Needed

To make a paracord bracelet‚ you will need the following materials:

• Paracord (available in various colors and lengths)
• Scissors
• Lighter or flame source
• Optional: buckle or clasp

Step-by-Step Instructions

Here are the step-by-step instructions for making a paracord bracelet:

1. Cut a length of paracord to the desired length for your bracelet. A standard length is around 9-10 feet.
2. Fold the paracord in half and tie a knot at the top to create a loop.
3. Begin a series of knots‚ starting with a Solomon bar knot. To tie a Solomon bar knot‚ follow these steps:
   1. Hold the paracord in one hand‚ with the loop facing upwards.
   2. Use your other hand to cross the paracord over the top of the loop‚ forming an “X” shape.
   3. Take the paracord and pass it under the bottom strand of the loop.
   4. Bring the paracord back up and over the top of the loop‚ passing it through the center of the “X” shape.
   5. Pull the paracord tight to secure the knot.
4. Continue tying knots‚ alternating between Solomon bar knots and other knots of your choice‚ until you reach the desired length for your bracelet.
