First try at paracord!

[blackboltss]

The GF decided that she wanted to try and make stuff out of paracord so I got her a book on how to make stuff and some OD green and black 550 paracord and this was our first attempt

Any market for this type of stuff? We are going to try and do slings, belts, key chain, bracelets, lanyards ect... Might be something fun for us to do in our down time and make a few bucks on the side.

same keychain with an OD added to it

Not bad. As far as a market, yes. There is one.

I love knot-tying and teach a lot of practical and decorative knots to the Scouts. I've been getting into tying wraps/grips (mostly Turk's Head & St. Mary's Hitch) on hiking sticks lately. I ordered a variety of colors and have sold a crap-load of LSU and Saints keychain lanyards:

These are pics of the Snake Knot with a Lanyard Knot at the end. They are my favorite, as I think they look much better than the other techniques. Here are some links that will help you out:

Supply Captain for paracord

Here are a few tutorials:
Snake Knot
Cobra Stitch
Square Stitch
Circle Stitch
Diamond Braid
Spiral Braid
Turk's Head Knot
Monkey's Fist
Lanyard Knot
Hangman's Knot (has practical use as a means to attach monkey's fist lanyard to a knife, for example)

Also check out Stormdrane's Blog for some awesome ideas and links to other tutorials.

here is my attempt at tying a few paracord bracelets, i decide to mess with them because my kids wanted me to pay $10+ for a bracelet and i could buy the 100' hanks for 8 dollars.

sorry for the crappy cell phone pics

Slidell Outdoor Surplus has a decent selection of 550 for a fair price, if you're looking for a local supplier.
