Altoids Paracord Kit

There I was, I had just finished off the last Altoid in the tin. I had no idea what to do with it. I set it off to the side to work with my paracord, and it hit me. The Altoids Paracord Kit! Its a kit that has most everything you need to work with paracord. If you can think of anything else that could go into it, leave a comment, ill try to fit it in the tin.

Thanks for the great idea!! I just started paracording about a week ago & I put one together today & added some things that I use. Saves on having to chase everything down when I'm ready to start working!! I use the yarn needles until I can find the Perma Loks. (Don't think I can make my own) Def a time saver! Thanks a million!!
(I threw in a couple pics of my tin & first projects)

Love the concept. I use a small "ditty bag" for my go-tools, but I have my eye on a tin now! I'd add a small pair of forceps -- useful for shielding the work while you burn a cut end as well as grabbing and pulling. I could see substituting a small box cutter or cuticle scissors for the SAK. Finally, a small tube of super glue is ideal for securing tips or turning the last 3" of small cord into an "insta-fid". (Not to mention as liquid band-aid when slice your finger open with the box cutter.)

I just asked my hubby to make this for me; I love working with paracord and can never find these items when I need them! Maybe add a D ring? Thanks for the great idea!

A D ring would be a great addition. Thanks for the feedback!
