How to make

Step-1

Fold the cord in half and thread the loop through one of the buckle ends from front to back. Bring the loose ends up and thread them through the loop at the top and pull tight to create a luggage style knot.

Step-2

Slide the two loose ends through the other buckle so that it is five inches from the first buckle.

Step-3

Turn so that the untied buckle end is at the top, pull the cords down along each side and tape the buckle down.

Step-4

Now to create the cobra knot, fold the right-hand cord over the centre and under the lefthand cord. Then take the left-hand cord under the centre and over the right-hand cord. Hold each end and pull taught. Repeat but this time start from the left hand side. Continue all the way along the bracelet in this way.

Step-5

When you reach the buckle, thread the cord ends under the last knot at the back. Cut the ends leaving about a centimetre of remaining cord, then glue these down on the back.

Step-6

Stitch (or glue) buttons along the centre the paracord using co-ordinated embroidery thread.

Step-7

Amazing! Now that you know the basics for a cobra paracord, have a look around at all the things you could make. There are lots of simple projects out there, from keyrings to watch straps to bag handles!
