Slip on Bracelet

These slip on bracelets are easy to make and don't repuire you have any buckle of any sort.

Ways to latch a Bracelet

There are many ways to latch a bracelet that you made onto your wrist, but there is one way that is the most popular. Clips. The normal sized clips are 3/4 of an Inch,(top) but some are just 3/5 of an inch (bottom). I prefer the ones that are are 3/5 of an inch. They are more dependable and do not coMe as bulky. They also come in different colors. I have posted this so that people can see the colors shapes and sizes of different buckles for paracord bracelets.

the (small) History

Paracord bracelet making started when some paratroopers in the military had dropped in and gotten lost. They took the cord that they had from the parachutes and tied it into a survival braceletthat they wore and could take apart if they ever needed the cord. So now a neat idea has turned into an amazingly popular hobbie and even a business for lots of people.
Parachute cord is nylon strips of thin string are woven into a braid around another set of pieces of nylon (usually seven strands) and braided. There are 16 strips orriginally with the amount under the 16 strands strengthening it until it becomes strong enough to hold 550 pounds without breaking.
Paracord is soft and eay to work with, it does not give to many rope burns and is comfortable in your hands,

Hey G-Man, you are right, there needs to be some way to show people how to do it so I put some pictures into an animated GIF file and here it is!

There is a knot that I have figured out about that is called the dragon tongue knot. It uses 12 feet of cord in a 7" or 9" bracelet or anything inbetween.

This is the normal cobra pattern bracelet that is the most common bracelet. It uses about 10 feet of cord in one bracelet and 20 when you go back over it a second time.
