How to make a Paracord Leatherman Pouch

Step 3 Weaving your pouch

You need to cut another length of cord about 12 feet in length. You then need to remove the white internal strands from this cord to make it possible to weave.

For best results you should use something on the end of the cord to make it easier to pass through the weave. In the picture i have used a hair clip as a needle however anything relatively thin and rigid can be used so long as you can attach it to the end of your cord.


Now you can begin the weaving process.

The gutted paracord strand will be referred to as your VERTICAL weave throughout the instructable.

Pass the gutted length of cord over and under the horizontal strands pinned to your wood. Once all the way through ensure the cord is not twisted (removing the internal strands means it should now lie flat)

Simply repeat the process the other way,  under over under over and under.

You should be able to tighten up the  vertical weave quite easily, if it is difficult to tighten then the horizontal strands pinned to the board may be too tight.

Its important also not to over tighten the vertical weave, there should be no slack but it shouldnt be pulled too tight either as this will distort the weave.

Simply continue weaving your vertical strands till the entire lendth is completed. It can be a little tricky at the very end as you will have to remove the weave from your wood to get the last few rows done but patience is the key.

Once you have completed your weave use your lighter to melt the ends of the cord in place.

You should now have a woven length of material 12' long and about 1.5"-2" wide. On one end you should have your two 12" loose strands.
