[Swagg1255]

[RomeoJr1205]

[03pontiac]

This is just a great idea....

No clips needed, no knos and loops needed.

I would like to add, though, that when I singe my ends, I like to melt them together, so it doesn't come unweaved if used alot

[lucyluvshorses]

If you cut the loose ends when your done wont it just unravel or do you need to tie knots at the end??

[ferrari308rider]

Hey JD, should this be tied loosely or not? I am making these to help fund my trip to Northern Tier, a high adventure camp. Thanks.

[stararviso931]

hey were do you buy the string?

[stararviso931]

hey were do you buy the string?

[AANDJVIDS]

I love this idea made a few real simple and easy but started thinks so I took 2 hair ties and used the bush bar technique turned out great!!! thanks JD!!!!!

[ropossipierper]

Love this but I was wondering if you can use wire instead cord ? what do you think ?

[ExecutiveDiplomat]

nice we need more knot vids

[BeetleJewse]

Im lost without my paracord projects, TIAT...WE NEED MORE KNOTS!! :)

[NavBrat97]

Great idea I love it!

[00awsomeman]

will a shoe lace work

[Cflore001]

@everything102030 lol its like um well say you made a regular paracord bracelet such as a cobra stitch then it dint fit you so you unwind the bracelet and its all wrinkly and weird thats recycled paracord

[dirkbikeman1001]

This is so fucking difficult, i cant do it!!!

[TheTobyKing]

Hey JD quick question: where do you get your paracord from? Thanks!

[TyingItAllTogether]

@TheTobyKing - 450 Paracord - VTArmyNavy(dot)com



[TheTobyKing]

@TyingItAllTogether Thanks bro!

[johnnyluong26]

Can we do it with two elastic hair ties?

[TyingItAllTogether]

@johnnyluong26 - Yes. And that is a great idea!



[wanglimp1]

The problem with this is that when you stretch the bracelet over the wrist it gaps the two disconnected ends unless you leave it fairly loose (which i do not think looks as good. so I changed it a little so that I can weave the starting end with the finishing end and then continue the tie in both directions over itself to lock it.

[Cflore001]

this is fucking hard with recycled paracord....

[dwcox07]

Is there a certain trick to make this work? Every time I try the knot is either too loose or too tight. What is the trick?

[janecanfly]

that is so creative!! :)

[TheMikeselina]

I have to say I do like your vids and to support I purchased the book off amazon.com and am waiting for it to show. If I had not seen the videos I may have gone with anther auther. Great job so far.

remember life jackets save lives.

[litemup50]

Hey man, your videos are really cool! I just made an orange bracelet with a black hair tie for my daughters. Giants colors! And it works really well! This was also my first attempt at tying knots. I really enjoyed doing it.

[cLaX1227]

Hey JD i gotta question I'm using 550 paracord and I'm going to be making a soloman bar into a bracelet and I saw a tutorial saying to remove the inner strands does it make a diffrence? Thank's ~ Clax

[TyingItAllTogether]

@cLaX1227 - You don't have to take out the inner strands.,. But doing so (or reducing the number of strands) will decrease the rigidity of your cord. On the other hand, if the purpose of your bracelet is as an emergency source of cord, you may want to leave the strands as is. Function over fashion, as it were…

[cLaX1227]

@TyingItAllTogether alright thank you, I'll be sure to leave the strands in

[mysss29]

brilliant!

@criscros you're completely missing the point--the paracord slides around the elastic part and doesn't need to be elastic itself. (And it isn't.)

[gothiclayjenva]

box knots! lol 

[peacelovegolf0172]

could you use a non-elastic cord for this? (over the elastic scrunchie)

[mysss29]

@peacelovegolf0172 Paracord isn't elastic. it does stretch (to absorb shock in its original application) but it doesn't return to its original length. This fact isn't actually relevant to this bracelet since the cord won't have much opportunity to stretch, but in a more traditional bracelet design the bracelet would get a little bit bigger after a while of wearing it (or rather adjusting it/putting it on/taking it off). Some sinnets offer elasticity of their own, but the solomon bar doesn't.

[kimisazuki]

Hey! This was the best video I found so far on workin the solomon knot- excellent tutorial! Thanks- I love it!

[SrJoben]

This is awesome.

I made a couple King Cobra bracelets using this technique, they are my favorite ones now. :)

[ninjazombie15]

great video man i think im going to try this keep it up :D

[terminatorhellspawn]

Yet another great video :)

[Metorks]

Nice, JD. I like the idea of an elastic soloman bar bracelet. I imagine this technique would work with some of the other sinnets, too?

[gavphoenix1]

Hey JD do the knots have to be tied loosly? or will tight ones work? could i even tie every second one loose?

[TyingItAllTogether]

@gavphoenix1

If you want to make sure it slides (arround the band), you need to tie it (slightly) loose, but not that much.

JD ~ TIAT

[LOADEDF1ST]

Love this idea! Thanks for making this vid JD. Gonna try this with some tether cord ( dummy cord )

[JJiG]

That is a great idea and I am surprised I never thought of it.. Good thinking JD!!

[Hoffa3381]

Cool new project. Tks!

[Jollyprez]

Would this work if you didn't remove the inner strands? Or would it be too bulky at that point?

[TyingItAllTogether]

@Jollyprez

...

I didn't remove the inner strands (its 450 paracord). 550 works just as well.

...

JD ~ TIAT

[criscros7]

@Jollyprez

If you didn't replace the inner strands with the hair tie I don't see how it would end up elastic.

[xoxosupermac18]

Love it! Gonna make this later! :)

[geeshawna]

can any one please tell me where to get the rope hes using and what it is called...thank you

[gammathetasbear]

@geeshawna its called 550 cord (aka paracord, dummy cord). you can use that google website and find out all kinds of places online to buy as much as you want, in any color you want. OR, you call around to any local military surplus stores, they will more than likely have it.

[hakjason]

[ladygris65]

[LowBudgetBushcraft]

That's a great idea, the kids and wife will love it.

[ladyhawk158]

..very very nice..I like it so much!...

[tekknorat]

Very nice video. I was thinking about something similar.

[raulp123]

One of your best vids by far!

[blackroses4her]

That's an awesome idea; so creative! Do you think the same design would word with a king cobra weave (Double Solomon Bar)? I question the elasticity of a tight weave

[jbggg45]

hell yea this is genius! thanks 

[Northemt88]

man another great idea, i'll be making some of these tomorrow.

[bobsoe]

tactical scrunchy! 

[ZeroTechSkilz]

That is awesome. I'm definitely trying this one :)

[humafrag]

you need a partnership with youtube.

[d4jit]

Good vid you got my hooked to make all this. Keep it up 5*****
