Take the last length of cord which shouldbe about 3 feet in length and remove the internal strands.

Thread this cord into and through the weave on your pouch creating two strands for the belt loop.

You have the option of finishing the pouch now if you like however i made the belt loop a bit more attractive using the cobra stitch.

There are many instructables showing how to do the cobra stitch so i wont explain it here.

Finally once you have finished your belt loops againcut and melt the cord in place using your lighter and your paracord leatherman pouch is complete!

You could finish it off if you wish by buying a little velcro or a snap button to keep the flap closed however after wearing my pouch for a few days the flap stayed closed on its own.

I'm going to try using some of the zillion parachute clips I have to make it able to attach to a belt loop. I don't wear belts often. Thanks for this Instructable, I would have probably bought one of those cloth-type ones had I not found this, my pocket knife gets dirt in it whenever I store it in my, well, pocket. :p
