How to Make a Two Color Solomon Bar by TIAT

[XRunningTurtleX]

is this easy to unravel?

[00awsomeman]

hey JD do u sell these,and if u dont could u start plz

[rdhj]

If i wanted to make a 4 foot long one with two colors, would I need each color to be 50 feet or a hundred feet before making two strands for each color..in otherwords, when i am ready to braid, will i have 4 pieces at 25 feet or 50 feet each?

[LucasMadewellMusic]

did you use 2 5ft. chord? im wanting an approximate length for a bracelet?

[rickthenailer]

Very nice video!

I have question though, How do you make a two color solomon bar bracelet with side release buckles? I have made them whitout buckles using a bended lenght of cord as core and tying two cords toghether, I start the weaving, then untie the cords and weave the loose ends backwards and singe them, because I don´t like to melt the ends toghether, and they wouldn´t resist any pull anyway.

[rickthenailer]

But I have not found a neat and strong way of making a two colored bracelet with buckles. I have made them just tying an underhand knot at the end of each cord, but that´s a little awquard and only works in adjustable buckles. Have tried the two cow hitches like yours here, but with short ends, tucked inside the weave in the way  back from the other buckle, but the bracelet becomes bulkier at that end. CONTINUE BELOW

@rickthenailer

I have also thought about melting two cords togheter one inside the other and let the union at the middle of the core so it will be tucked (ie: hided) inside the weave, but don´t know if that arrangement would be strong enough. So what do you think? These bracelets would be for sale, with a little of luck. They are not known so well here, and I am trying to start a trend.

Cheers

[KaliaMigold]

Thanks! But where do you get paracord? I used craftlace and it turned out kinda crappy

[TyingItAllTogether]

@KaliaMigold - Local hardware store, army surplus store, or VTArmyNavy(dot)com.

[survivalguy95]

whenever i try to make a soloman bar, it twists itself up, how can i prevent this? thx

[turbojosh3285]

The original Solomon Bar video was great and easy enough to follow. This one is actually helpful in better showing how to tie the bars with the two colours.

[EmelyMatula]

what a movie..watched 5 times in webmovietube

[ardraneala]

how to you finish the bottom?

[ChristynNPadgett]

Do you know how some people can get hearts or letters into the solomon bar?

ie. hearts and some times letters?

[BigbadJohn4108]

Awesome vid...was trying to find how to do this since i saw a version of them...thank you for sharing you knowledge

[dodiemuehleisen50]

what a movie..pls watch this in webmovietube

[djinnzfree]

Hi Tiat,

it could be interesting to see how to finish the other end...

very appreciate to teach me(us)!

regards

djinnzfree :-)

[SugarHighDD]

I love you<3 my older cousin once made a 2-color bracelet like this, and I absolutely loved it, but I lost it and ever since then I've been wondering how it's done:D she never taught me how to do it:(

[Vrg999]

Again JD, how to end with another ring? Please teach us ignorant mortals ( :-) ) how to do it? TIA.

[burninforyou]

I would also like to know!!

[tallesfranco]

How do I end?

[YGJishful]

where did you get those thick strings???

[kmango2]

I know this will be repetitive but could you show how to do this with 3 different colors and then make it into a king cobra bracelet with a black out line?

[postoak22]

keep the vids coming!! They are very helpful!

[TheAsterixx]

finaly some one that show how to make it .

Good movie

[missherseys]

If this is a bracelet how do u connect it together

[piniac82]

how do you make a 3 color bar without joining the rope, is it possible? I am talking about making a thin line bracelet that can have two colors like a regular 2 color bar and a thin stripe in the middle.

Thanks

[TheHugsLady]

@piniac82 I'd sure like to know the same thing.  I've only seen it one place and they weren't helping learn how to do them as they were only selling.

Thanks so much.

[fjsla]

this is great...but how do u attach it to the end buckle?

[xxxgoodtimesxxx]

In response to those wondering how this can be incorporated into a bracelet using a 'Fastex' type buckle. I have been experimenting with this problem and there seems to be three viable options: 1) melt the ends and girth hitch to start as you would with one string 2) as TIAT describes above and then finish it at the end by tying/melting 3) start by weaving the male end of the buckle in such a way that there are no knots or melts - just friction!

[patriots2586]

My brother is deploying soon and he really wanted one of these for when he was in the field but he didnt want to pay $20 for one. Thanks so much cause now I can make one for him and maybe for some of the other guys in his unit!

[erinlsu1]

hi! wonderful video. sorry if you've already answered this a million times but i was wondering how to attach a button to the end to make it into a bracelet. I've also seen them for sale with a dog tag in the middle so if you know how and could describe how to do that also that would be amazing of you :D

[peacelovepabby]

what type of string do you use?

[srucycling]

Anybody figure out how to tie off the second end to another loop or buckle?

[ebbitt13]

i made a 2 color bar by melting the ends of to different ropes. i think its a lot easier but the way he's doing it is a lot stronger.

[Aerott77]

Show how you would do it with a plastic buckle

[lilmisspinc]

how would you wear this if it was a bracelet

[Blanny1974]

I too would like to know how you finish this off to a side release buckle please.

[doughboy110307]

on the Two Color Solomon Bar how long shood the rope be ?? pleas send me a messag

[eviloolive1]

try paracord or 550 cord much easier to work with

[dokeyjones]

i thought something like this would work for a guitar strap done with black and dark blue para cord to match the finish of my guitar.... my question is is there a formula for how much cord will be needed in regards to the finsished product.... plz let me know

[AirmanLoehnert]

about 10-12 inches per an inch.

[Supermassively]

@AirmanLoehnert If you use a really tight weave like I do, it's 0.75 feet per inch.

[1PATRI0T]

@dokeyjones - I have only made a few things so far. But using 550 paracord, it seems like about 1 foot per inch... so 10 feet of paracord total will give you about 10 inches of finished weave. Give or take a bit. Thankfully, paracord isn't that expensive :) In case that sounds like a lot to you, I just made a 8 inch bracelet using about 8 feet of paracord. It took me about 15 minutes. Enjoy :)

[AprilCakes69]

were can i buy hemp string

[HaaJeHaa]

grow your own weed....

[RockinAfeefa]

hey this video is awesome!

[PEEPSaPLENTY]

ohh i see its just like a hemp bracelet

[kevin770]

How would you tie the end loop onto this two color solomon bar? In your other video, you started the bar differently. After watching both videos, I can't figure out how to finish the two color solomon bar. Please help. Thanks.

[ChaosTheoryDay]

I have the same question. Did you ever figure that out? I'm trying to tie a 2-color solomon bar onto a 3/16" bow shackle and am trying to figure out how to attach the second end. Any suggestions TIAT or anyone else?

[ArmyPrincess07]

Could you do a video on how you put a button on the end on the bracelet, where the knot would be. Thanks

[collinbpeep]

what is the song

[collinbpeep]

can you show another way to do this please

[democ]

awesome thanks! I was wondering how to make that.

[MeLoveYouxD]

Thanks for upload this but how do you end the thing? or do you just keep it like that?

[bfriend08]

what kind of rope do you use? plz let me know...i would love to try to make one of these bracelets. thank you!!!! :)

[edcnut14]

more than likely it is 550 paracord

[collinbpeep]

paracord is the best

[161821161821]

Would it be possible for you to do a video using this solomon bar knot and attaching it to the plastic clips so it can snap on and snap off? Also, what size clips would you use?

THank you much

[eleninha318]

muito criativo.

[myfuckingscreenname1]

Excellent tutorial but I still have one problem... Ending it.. Usually I use a button but its too much string to try a button, and I cant buy side release buckles here so I really liked the key chain idea because I wouldn't have to worry about the button popping off...Could you show how to connect the two ends using 1 or 2 key chains? I have tried and failed like 15 times now..

[twinzaust]

How long do you have to make the cords for the 2 color bar? Thanks

[TyingItAllTogether]

It all depends on how long you want the bar to be. Depending on how you start the bar (like shown in this video or my first Solomon Bar video) you may need more or less rope. My advice is to double the length of rope you think you'll need for your "bar" and trim it to the desired length your looking for (after tied)

Hope that helps,

JD ~ TIAT

[Akareyon]

Once somebody shows it to you, it's so obvious. Thanks :-)

[Vibez727]

Yeah!..that's awesome. Thanks Guys ;) xo

[TyingItAllTogether]

Theres only one guy here, still thanksI think I know what you mean. (smile)

JD ~ TIAT/TKB

[Vibez727]

[seedofsaton2]
