Adjustable Paracord Glasses Lanyard

Step 5 About tightness

Since the cords need to slide for the adjustment, make sure your figure eights are neither super tight, nor too loose.  You should be able to gently slide the knots together and apart.  This will shorten or lengthen the overall joined piece.  If you have unsightly ends dangling from your knots, you can snip and singe them in place.

I find two double overhand knots tightened pretty tightly works great for this--I've used it as an adjustment in two improvised shoulder straps--one on my largest nerf gun ( ;D ) and the other on my (heavier, hehe) industrial flashlight (I had to steal the pad from my messenger bag strap to make that comfortable...). I've never had trouble with that, although perhaps the adjustment would be a little too difficult and the security would be overkill for this. Unfortunately I have no real use for this since I'm blind without my glasses anyway. ;)
