How to Make a Back-to-Back Feather Bar (Reversible Bracelet) by TIAT

The Back-to-Back Feather bar is the first of a series of new fusion knots, catapulting off the insights gained by The Wrapture (paracord tie). Effectively a more complex version of the standard "Back to Back Solomon Bar" (a tie not yet shown in video format), the piece illustrates the versatility and multiple possibilities associated with the back-to-back tying technique. As I've said before, there are a multitude of knots/ties between the ones historically known, and this is only one of them. There are many more to come!

How tight should I pull when making the bar?

[TyingItAllTogether]

@espio301 - Firm, but evenly...

Hi JD,

Another great instructional video! I find, however, that ABOK#599 is an easier method of tying the Chinese Button Knot. IMHO.

Hey Jimmy, look again... It's not the Chinese Button Knot. The button knot was too large for the clasp I needed. So I stopped it short of the last cord tucks through the knot's middle. This effectively left the tie as a Carrick Bend tightened up. What I call a "Carrick Bend Button Knot".

about how much paracord total do u need to make 6inch bracelet?

[TyingItAllTogether]

@Iceman8668 - About 8 feet (each)

@sniperpistol50 - I'd imagine that any of these knots that 'slide up/down the central core would make a poor rifle sling, or belt, or anything of length that will carry a load. Reason being that when in use, the weave will slide on the core, scrunching/deforming it in places and leaving open holes in others. ALTHOUGH, it probably would look GREAT on the rifle rack! I've never made a sling or belt, so this isn't first hand knowledge, just an educated observation.

Your videos are really cool, and the music is usually really good, but this one... I dunno.... I ended up having to mute it before it drove me insane! Request: Can you tie a knot sometime to the song: "Blood Ties" by Gramatik. (Gr4m4tik) Use red cord and the pun will be complete! LOL Or maybe "All Day Breakfast" by Four80East

me gusta muchos los vídeos soy de Colombia quisiera saber que material es o con que nombre se consigue en Colombia

[watrocket]

Fascinating! 

[Vedak2011]

So for about every inch of rope, it requires around 1.4 feet of cord?

how much longer should the bracelet be in order to fit properly? I imagine with the layering of rope it would shrink the bracelet by an inch? My wrist is about 7''

sorry about so many questions. Thanks!

@TyingItAllTogether

just a thought but could you possibly use this for a rifle sling? if so what is the conversion from one foot of weave to how many feet of paracord?

[jessehbk3]

Just finished mine. Red and White. It came out awesome! Thanks for the video

[squirttle100]

@TyingItAllTogether you suck

[iiTamsterZzz]

You need to explain the knot better

[iiTamsterZzz]

Do you have to use that knot?
